Online-Groups

On the internet you can learn about what rare or interesting birds are being seen currently in Ventura County. This is done by going to a group on the Yahoo! web site:

       Ventura County Birding at Yahoo! Groups

You just need to register with Yahoo! and join the group.  It's free and a good place to find out what's happening in the county. People post their sightings, ask questions and narrate their bird trips there.  There is also a file section with bird photos.

There is also a Yahoo! Group for Southern California Rare Bird Alerts. It is designed to make alerts available to people with wireless internet access in the field, but, works for those of us who are at home too.
