PEEC Birders

Welcome to "PEEC Birders"!

Some of the reasons for forming this interest group within PEEC are:

• to build a group of people interested birding,
• to plan informal bird outings locally,
• to plan and support exciting birding trips around New Mexico and beyond,
• to share local birding information and concerns.

How to join?

• To join, go to PEEC Birders and request to join. The interest group communicates using Yahoo Groups. If you do not already have a Yahoo account, you will be prompted to make one. Don't worry, no spam!
• If you are not already a PEEC member, please join. The cost is very modest, and PEEC does not send a lot of mailings.

If you have any questions, or difficulties in joining, please contact the group moderators, Esta Lee (estalee@whalesail.com or 662-0788) or Heather (hkburke@pinonpc.com).

How does the group work?

Any member may log into the group through Yahoo and send messages that every member will receive. Or just send an email to the group address. In addition, the Yahoo Group can be used to post and view photos. We all have access to archived messages. Events and observations of interest to birders often appear only in the PEEC Birders group, not in other PEEC publications.

PEEC's Policy on Interest Groups

1. PEEC has established several Yahoo interest groups so that community members can easily and quickly share information with a specific group of people.
2. PEEC interest groups are moderated by volunteers who spend considerable time establishing and moderating the group as well as answering questions and planning events such as bird walks.
3. PEEC sets up these groups through volunteer and paid effort. Without PEEC these groups would not exist, so we request that Yahoo group members support PEEC by becoming PEEC members.
4. Since PEEC's mission is to connect people with the natural world, we also welcome people who wish to join an interest group without supporting PEEC financially at this time.

Why join PEEC?

Membership in PEEC has many advantages, such as reduced fees for classes, discounts in the gift and book shop, quarterly newsletters, and the pleasure of helping to educate others about our natural world. Of particular interest, note that your support of PEEC also helps to continue the Park Flight program. And some of the observations of the PEEC Birding group will be written up in Nature Notes, which is only mailed to PEEC members.

The Birding Interest Group is about communication and enjoying birds. Join us and enrich your experiences with PEEC!
