If anyone in the Memphis area can deliver the copy of this report
to the TOS Board of Directors to Dick Preston, I would appreciate it.
For some reason, I am not able to send it to his email address.
He will need it for the board meeting held Saturday afternoon.
Thanks.....Wallace Coffey

TN-Bird report to TOS Board of Directors, State Meeting 2011

Your TN-Bird net listserv continues to be very active and valuable.
More than 600 birders are subscribed to the list and post about
2,200 messages each year.  April is one of the busiest months with
an average of nearly 350 messages posted per month.

In August 2010, Melinda Welton wrote that the list is "a fabulous way 
to get timely bird news out to the birding community in between TOS 
newsletters."  The proposed Sandhill Crane hunting season in Tennessee 
in the fall of 2011, saw the Conservation Policy Committee of TOS and
subscribers deliver and exchange a total of 90 posts which delivered 
54,000 total message copies to the subscribers of TN-Bird net.

The listserv not only provided an hour-to-hour update and exchange
among our birders concerning the Sandhill Crane issue but it delivered
instant results as the decision was made by the Tennessee Wildlife
Resources Commission.

TN-Bird is more than reporting interesting birds seen.  It is the way
that many TOS chapters promote field trips, counts, meetings and
many other activities.  It provides the majority of bird records edited
for THE SEASON report which is published in THE MIGRANT.  It
has been the tool which has greatly expanded the reports available
to THE SEASON editors and allowed for a more complete report of
seasonal bird distribution in Tennessee.

TN-Birds continues to be the Tennessee Ornithological Society's
most dependable and timely means for communicating with birders,
chapters and agencies in the state.
