Dear EBB Sightings Members,

The Mt. Diablo Audubon Board has reassigned some of the  
responsibilities of Board members.  Effectively immediately, I am  
stepping down as Administrator of the EBB Sightings List Serve to  
give me more time to attend to my other responsibilities.  Patrick  
King will be taking over the administrator's duties of the list  
serve.  Patrick has considerable technical expertise so I'm confident  
the EBB Sightings List Serve will be well maintained.  I would like  
to thank all of you for your posts to the list and cooperation in  
abiding by the stated guidelines for posting messages.  When MDAS  
took over the list serve we had approximately 200 members, we now  
have grown to over 600 members.

Patrick's first responsibility will be to remedy a problem that  
members with Comcast as their provider are experiencing.  In the past  
week, Comcast began blocking all the EBB Sightings postings.  When  
this happens, the software that we are using eventually unsubscribes  
members when postings are undeliverable.  We have over 50 members  
that are experiencing this problem.  Both Patrick and I are working  
on the problem and hope to have the issue resolved soon.

As a reminder, the purpose of the list serve is to report the  
sightings of birds so other members have an opportunity to look for  
the same species.  The list serve is not for the announcement of  
events.  If you have an event that you would like to announce, please  
send the information to .  The event will  
then be posted in the Calendar of the MDAS website.  Also, the list  
serve is not intended to be a chat line.  It is fairly obvious that  
we do have a need for this type of communication; therefore, we hope  
to provide this type of serve in the future.

Again, thank you for all of your posts.  It is your participation  
that has made this list serve an important communication tool.






Good Birding,

Ann McGregor
Sightings Administrator
