Title: Ont Bird Reports
Post by: newfoundlander61 on August 16, 2012, 07:20:14 AM

Did my normal morning check and it has been changed completely. Don't like it at all  :( . I hope the IPAD app doesn't change like it.

I don't think ONTBIRDS has changed at all.  

birdingonthe.net has changed, which is just one way to access the ONTBIRDS listserv.

I just subscribe to ONTBirds rather than visit a summary site.  To me, it's easier.  

Depending on what you're using it for, you might find some of the eBird tools (http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/eBirdReports?cmd=Start) useful.  You can get email alerts of regional rarities or search the Range and Point Maps (http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/map/) for recent sightings of a target species.

I also have noted that some of the Ontbird posts have been scrambled. For example the Toronto Island one today was scrambled to seemingly random letters in the first two links above, but worked in the third (birdalert).
