st Good point Marian, however it isn't that simple.....I am 81 and I have a Facebook membership, use a Blackberry Playbook regularly ( can't imagine being without it ) But I still had no idea there was a NSBS Facebook until this thread began, so I had forgotten about the May bird count until it showed up on NatureNS via e.mail, ....That is what I mean by the electronic confusion. Which option is most likely to provide the item I seek, and how do I know which to access . If we communicate only to the technically savvy persons, how are the other potential 'volunteers' going to stay in the loop? I have been volunteering my time for Christmas counts, migratoty bird counts, The Breeding Bird Census ( 40 years ) since we arrived in this great country in 1957, and this is the first time I have ever witnessed a break down in communication.
