About Tweeters

Welcome to Tweeters, the Northwest birders e-mail serving the University of Washington, Washington State, and the Cascadia region as a public service and scientific research tool. Tweeters was founded around the end of 1992 by Dan Victor of the Washington Ornithological Society and the Seattle Audubon Society, with three people sharing messages about bird sightings. From this informal beginning it has spread around the Northwest, and now has a wide variety of regional subscribers from Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia. The University of Washington listprocessor was added in March of 1994 with the help of Steve Hallstrom, the listowner for the first year. In 2004 Tweeters moved to the Mailman softeware. http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters/

The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture is the official host of the Tweeters list at the University of Washington. Please visit the Burke Museum Web site at www.burkemuseum.org for news of exhibits, events, lectures, news from the collections, research projects, and volunteer opportunities that might be of interest to you. From time to time the Museum may post to the list notices of events of particular relevance. The collaboration between Tweeters and the Burke helps fulfill the educational mission of both, uniting the Museum's strength as a regional resource for natural history with an interested, supportive public constituency.

Anyone may subscribe to this free service. Unique field trip reports, interesting sightings, unusual bird anecdotes, scientific queries, questions for the experts, all messages (from subscribers only) are welcome.
