I think it may be time to "retire" the Bird Board. There is very limited use now and I don't like the ads which appear all over the place. The message board was a great way to share bird and other nature sightings around Muskoka when there were no other online options. Now there are plenty of ways to share observations, such as iNaturalist, eBird, rare bird alerts on Discord, and many Facebook groups to choose from.

Here's a link to recent Muskoka bird sightings on eBird (click/tap a checklist date to see all the birds reported at that particular location):

The Muskoka Bird Board is a place to share reports of birds and other nature sightings in Muskoka and surrounding areas. You may also post a question about birds or birding in general. You don't have to include an email address in your post. Remember to include the location of your sightings - even the nearest town or major crossroads would be fine. See the Posting Guidelines for more information and helpful tips about using the Muskoka Bird Board.
