I echo Jim's request.  It seems that the Cape May folks work almost
exclusively on Twitter or similar.  Cape May is virtually invisible on the
Jersey listserve (accessed via birdingonthe.net when I am visiting), so
unless somebody posts something in a timely manner to the sightings of
birdcapemay.org (often not the case until well after the bird has flown),
or you happen to click on the ebird sightings at birdcapemay.org, word
does not get out to us knuckle-draggers.  I know that some out there with
4G type phones DO post from the field, and hope that they and the tweeters
will continue to do so.  I can barely make and receive a call on my cell
phone, let alone figure out how to get to my voice mail or receive a text,
so the day is probably far off before....
