Birds of the Four Mills
Listserve
We now have a Birds of the
Four Mills (BOFM) email listserve for announcing birds seen at the Four
Mills Nature Reserve and other local birds of interest. We expect this
to be a low volume mailing list with perhaps one or two messages
per week but it may get up to two messages per day during peak
migration. Each message received will have [BOFM] at the beginning of
the message subject for easy identification. If you would like to join
this list send your name and email address to:
birder@wvwa.org
After the moderator approves
your request you will receive an welcoming message with instructions on
how to post to the list and a web address where you can modify your
message settings and view the message archive. If you have any questions
or problems with the list do not hesitate to contact the moderator at
the above address.
You can register for any or
all of the birding classes by e-mail : wvwa@aol.com or by snail mail.
The fee for each class is $10. Participants in the Birdathon can attend
free. All 4 classes are $30 for WVWA members. Bring binoculars and field
guides. Dress for potentially muddy conditions.
