RFI: Old CoBirds posts?

[Paul Hurtado]

Hi all,

I was trying to dig up my old (late 90s) bird sightings, to enter into eBird, and many were unfortunately not recorded in notebooks or on my computer. BUT, I did however post a good number of sightings to CoBirds during the late 90s while I was still living in Pueblo.

Does anyone out there happen to have kept all their old CoBirds emails??  If so, (even if you're not quite sure yet how you'd get them to me) please get in touch with me!  

I'd love to see my old emails, and perhaps those old posts of yours could even one day be archived somewhere online as a resource.

THANKS!

-Paul Hurtado

Paul & all,

I have old COBIRDS posts which I believe date back to the 90's. I will be happy to send them to anyone that is interested. They are all stored as text files and are searchable.

Cobirders,

 

It is good news that Rachel has some of those records archived, but the question remains why they are not available online.  I have in the past gone to Jack Siler’s old birdingonthe.net sight and queried the data.  Currently, all of the other state’s records still appear, are accessible and intact, but the Colorado records are no longer there.  Why is that?

 

Good birding,

Steve Stachowiak

Steve,

 

I think the answer to your question is that COBirds was on a private server (Net Atlantic) until 2006 at which time we switched to Google. I have most of the Net Atlantic posts from 2000-2006 and all of the rest from 2006 and after are archived on our Google site. It is difficult to get back to the older posts on Google unless you apply a custom Google filter that lets you select a year (which is much easier than scrolling backwards.)

 

Older COBirds posts (from the Google era only) are also archived other places on the internet including Surfbirds: http://surfbirds.com/birdingmail/

 

On surfbirds you can also pick a year to get back to our older posts.

 

I will work on getting the posts I have archived online so they are available to anyone that wants to search them.

Apropos of nothing, perhaps, but the list was switched to a Google groups feed that I was running for a couple of years prior to the official switch. So it's likely that Google groups holds emails prior to the switch as well
