[obol] RE:curious, how many Oregon birding lists?

[Darin]

Please forgive me, I'm relatively new to OBOL, I was under the impression 
that this was supposed to be a statewide list.

I can totally understand your point of view. However, I was just interested 
in checking these other lists out. I'd still post any reports here, not that 
I post often, but I'd most likely post to all lists.
