I hope IBLE will continue also as it has been a good exchange of information.
Thanks, Susan

I too would support a new forum.
aI wonder if a format like a simple forum would work [like a general trip advisor country forum, but with fewer off ramps] or the one that Tom mentioned. BirdForum keeps the topical [and not so topical] strings alive through years though that is a huge global platform. I have avoided Facebook as much as possible but would make an exception for this group!

A Facebook group page should work splendidly… and why is Yahoo Groups necessary to keep emails flowing? I’ve never been a part of Yahoo Groups this entire time. My 2 bits… Jonathan

First, although the number of posts have declined as Brian mentioned, I still want this group. If Yahoo Groups won’t work for us anymore, we can find something else, and I’m researching other options right now. If anyone has input on various free group options, let me know. Also let me know if there are specific features you really value in a group like this, beyond the ability to send and receive email and archive old messages.

Subject: [IBLE] Sad Info
Sad info re: the end of Yahoo Groups which will affect IBLE. Sounds like as of this coming Mon, Oct 21 Yahoo Groups will be functionally over. I’m not really into other social media, don’t have a Facebook acct & not a “techie”. Even though, it seems posts to IBLE have somewhat decreased over the years, there have remained those providing good birding info that has certainly helped me in my observations.
Sure has been a good run & I hope a similar Idaho Birding forum takes the place of IBLE. From my perspective, I’ve enjoyed the contact with others through IBLE, having even met fellow birders in person, & hope to find all again “in the ether” on another platform.
Good Birding, Brian Carrigan
