This forum is for discussing birds of the Central Valley. Calls to political action are not allowed, as there are other forums for this. Please signoff your messages with your full name and your city. The purpose of this list is to communicate, therefore, why make it difficult? DO NOT USE 4-letter bird banding codes (or any other codes e.g. MODO for Mourning Dove, WEKIs, COPOs, etc. or nicknames) to name birds. Please add the county name(s) or abbreviation with the location where your sighting(s) occurred. See recent postings for examples. Send a message central_valley_birds AT yahoogroups.com
