Tweeters subscribers,

I would like to introduce to you the recently launched North American Birders' Forum (NABF) at http://www.birdersforum.com

Forum topics include rare bird reports, field reports for all of the continental United States and Canada, identification discussion, conservation, birding locations, eBird Notable Sightings for all of the continental United States, Avian Science, Equipment and more.

There is no limit to the number or size of photos (or other files) that can be attached, and we have unlimited bandwidth. Photos and descriptions are permanently archived with static URLs, and are searchable.

The new forum also features RSS feeds from popular blogs like eBird, Sibley Guides Notebook, ABA Peeps, Two-fisted Birdwatcher and more.

There are also expert-led topic areas, such as "Hawk Talk with Vic Berardi" and "Optics and Digiscoping with Jeff Bouton". As we grow, you can expect more of these very informative and fun discussion boards.

Another feature of the forum is Listers' Central ( http://www.birdersforum.com/lists/ ), where you can enter your list totals for ABA area, regional, state, county and site life lists, state and county year lists and big days. The custom-built database allows you to filter and sort the entries, and you can update your totals as you see new birds. I think that Listers' Central will be one of the most popular parts of NABF, and I hope you enjoy it.

There's a fair amount of info up, and more is being added every day...but the main thing needing to be added is you.

Registration is very fast and easy: choose a user name and password, enter a valid email address, and you're done. So click on to http://www.birdersforum.com to see what it's all about.

Cheers,

Year" starring Owen Wilson, Steve Martin, Jack Black and Anjelica Houston:
