'Canberra Birds'

COG has an email announcement and discussion list for members and friends of COG: ‘Canberra Birds’. While it is recognised that some COG members do not have access to email, and some who have access prefer not to use it for birding matters, the list is a resource for those members and friends of COG who chose to use it. It complements other communication channels such as Gang-gang, Canberra Bird Notes and monthly meetings.

What may it be used for? Well, just about anything you choose to share with others related to COG and birding in the Canberra region! Interesting birding observations; requests for information (what’s the bird I heard at Campbell Park with an eight-note ascending call?); quick feedback on Good Ideas; news from the Committee in advance of receiving it at a monthly meeting or via Gang-gang; comments on birding books or articles you have read; and so on. So long as the list is not abused, everything posted to it will be automatically delivered to all subscribers. Your privacy is ensured; only the list maintainer will have access to the list of email addresses of people who have subscribed. (‘Canberra Birding’ supplements, for local matters, the national birding list, Birding-Aus.)

How may I join ‘Canberra Birds’? Anyone may join (subscribe to) the list. Simply send an empty email message to canberrabirds-subscribe@canberrabirds.org.au with the word 'subscribe' (without the quotation marks) in the subject line.

Once you have joined the list, to send a message to all other list members email it to canberrabirds@canberrabirds.org.au

A searchable archive of emails posted to the list is at http://bioacoustics.cse.unsw.edu.au/archives/html/canberrabirds
