Something else to consider is using an agreed "tag" to tag relevant photos and
galleries, to save the work of trying to gather them all together. For example,
"VABird" or "VA-bird" could be good tags. If known tags are used, then it is
simply a matter of communicating out the suggestion to use the tags for
labeling and in searching.
Best and cheers,

P.S. Winter Wren, imm Cooper's Hawk, MODOs, Am Goldfinch, Red-bellied WP, Am
Robins, Blue Jays, Juncos, White-throated Sparrows, Songs, Carolina Wrens in
yard and Long Branch Nature Center today. Incomplete list; I was largely
shoveling or otherwise not taking any notes.
Our squirrels remained active in the heart of the storm yesterday and were very
active today. Ours always have a bad attitude.

Hi,
I was going through Karen Kearney's photos on Flickr and realized that we
should be aware of one another's photo sharing galleries. We can then link up
on
these photo sharing websites and increase our community ties.
I volunteer to collect all the URLs to the photo hosting sites that you may
have, collate them and email the consolidated list back to this mailing group
after approximately a week from today.
So please either email the links to your photo hosting web sites directly to me
or to the list if your photo gallery is all about birds.
Please note:
* If you want to reply to this email via the mailing list, then please ensure
that your photo gallery primarily focuses on birds.
* In case your photo gallery has both fauna and flora, then just send the URL
to
me directly and I will include it in the list.
* If your photo gallery primarily is for fauna/flora outside of Virginia, send
the URL anyway and I will include it in a separate section in the list.
* If you have a birding-or-flora & fauna related blog, send the URL directly to
me and I will include it in a separate section within the list.
To start off:
