Posting Tips
If you've recently gone birding in a Richmond-area park or nature area, we encourage you to share your experience with the listserv community.
Tips for a strong post:
- Use the subject line to highlight the location and any notable species observed
- In the message body, describe your outing and list the birds you saw
- Include a link to your eBird checklist, if available
- Sign your name and include your city and state at the end of the message
Sharing your sightings helps build a stronger birding network and contributes to our collective knowledge of local bird activity.
