I hope we don't have a Facebook page if it means all the posts here of bird related thoughts, behavior observations, neat experiences, etc. would migrate to Facebook. We need more of them here, like on the old Osprey, not less--it's just a more rich engagement with all of birding in Maryland. If all we had here was posts to the latest rare bird to go chase (tho I like those, too, of course!), this forum would be pretty boring to read. I think having a mix of both keeps us all connected best. Just my two cents.
