How to Share Your U.P. Bird Photos
The UPBirders
photo album at the Grove Street photo-sharing site contains some great bird photos from 2005-2010, but we have not recently been active in posting photos there. We hope that you will continue to share your U.P. bird photos by posting them online yourself and sending a link to the Birdnet email list.
Since there are no attachments allowed on the Birdnet email list, many list participants share their photos by posting them to a public photo-sharing site. Then they send a message to the Birdnet with a link to the online photos. (See "How to Join Our Email List" above for more information about the Birdnet.) Anyone can easily create their own free photo gallery on a photo-sharing site. You can find a list of them at the end of the Wikipedia article at
this link.

Keweenaw Raptor Survey
The Keweenaw Raptor Survey documents spring raptor migration on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Upper Michigan. The survey is a joint venture of the Copper Country Audubon Club and the Laughing Whitefish Audubon Society with additional support from Michigan Audubon Society.
