Notice how they are trying to shift the burden to us, after THEY cut off our
service. I told them it is not up to us to contact the provider, but
theirs, and to get with it. They give a new meaning to the word
"sincerely."

My response was;
Hi Ida,
I called Verizon yesterday and discussed the issue with the Verizon Customer
Support staff and I also submitted two whitelist complaints.
I don't understand why the issue lasted so long but it appears they have now
designated Massbird.org domain as safe.

Subject: Parker River NWR Birdseye (and Satellite) Imagery
From: Fred <fred(AT)cetussoft.com>
Date: 2 Jul 2009 11:48am
Hello, MassBirders.
I have just put online a number of pages which display several
locations in the Parker River NWR in Microsoft Virtual Earth imagery
(which MS is now - unfortunately, I believe - calling "Bing" -
<cringe> - imagery - <groan>).
Available are both straight-from-above satellite images (such as
Google, Yahoo, MapQuest, etc., provide), but also (appropriately
enough) oblique "BIRD'S EYE" images (which the other map services do
not offer, at least yet). (I particularly like the birdseye images,
which are more natural and 3-dimensional looking than the more common
"flat" satellite images.)
PLEASE NOTE that these are ~not~ mere static JPEG images - you can
zoom in on and out of each image, you can pan around from place to
place, and (in the birdseye images) you rotate to view each location
from four compass directions.
Changing viewing modes and otherwise navigating around is accomplished
mostly by manipulating the map control located at the upper left of
the window.
The URL to the index page -
http://www.fromabove.us/usa/ma/parkerriver/
As each "location page" is first displayed, it will show a birdseye
image at its "farther away" zoom level - you can click on the "+"
button on the upper left map control to zoom in one more time to the
"closer" zoom level (and clicking on the "-" button zooms back out).
You can also rotate the birdseye view to four compass directions by
clicking on the clockwise or counterclockwise arrow buttons, or by
clicking on the "N", "E", "S", or "W" compass buttons.
If you want to switch to the more "usual" satellite images you can
click on the "Aerial" button (and in aerial mode you can zoom in and
out over a large range of zoom levels). (However, note that only one
compass direction - north at the top - is available in aerial mode.)
(You click on the "Bird's eye" button to go back to birdseye mode.)
In both birdseye mode and aerial mode you can click on the map with
your left mouse button and drag it around to navigate. (In birdseye
mode sometimes you also have to click in an empty "background" are to
load another image "tile" - however, I think this sounds more
complicated than it really is - <g>.) You can also "pan" around by
clicking on the four compass arrow buttons on the map control.
In both birdseye mode and aerial mode you can toggle labels on and
off with the "Labels" button on the map control.
Because of the variety of operating systems and browsers in use by
MassBirders out there, and especially because I have ~no~ idea how the
images will look with screen resolutions wider than 1024 pixels, I
would appreciate feedback on how well (or not) this all works.
(If this is a reasonably successful venture, I would expand it to
include other birding "hot spots", too.)
If anyone has any questions on using the Virtual Earth imagery, please
let me know. Thanks.

The problem with MASSBIRD mail reaching Verizon participants has been
resolved.
The matter had been elevated to the highest level at Software Tool
and Die.
Thanks to all of you who worked to resolve this problem and your
updates to me personally.
Remember, if you should stop receiving MASSBIRD, check the archives
(there are pointers from www.massbird.org) for updates and
posts. This will also help you determine whether it is a problem
with your service, or with MASSBIRD in general. Posts are also
archived as a google group here:
http://groups.google.com/group/massbird , courtesy of Brian
Krisler. Thanks to Brian for this additional backup.
We're all back on track!
Now, if we could just do something about all this rain!

Hello again, MassBirders.

I have received some feedback (and thanks are extended to all who have
- or will have - written to provide important feedback).
Since feedback issues often are relevant to more than just the persons
good enough to write, I am going to share (paraphrased) three such
(paraphrased) comments with the list, as follows:
1. "CUTTING AND PASTING IMAGES COULD BE A VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT."
Thank you for your note of concern. However, the use is entirely
legal (and, in fact, encouraged by Microsoft).
I am not actually "cutting and pasting content from another provider
into [my] web pages". In fact, the actual images, and most of the
code that provides for displaying it, reside on Microsoft servers,
made available to the public for such use.
As directed by Microsoft, I have merely created code that accesses an
API (i.e., an "Application Programming Interface"), publicly provided
by Microsoft for web developers to utilize, at no cost for
non-commercial purposes.
The terms of use for what I am doing is spelled out at:
http://www.microsoft.com/maps/product/terms.html
Again, though, I thank you for your note, which was intended, I am
sure, as a friendly warning, just to keep me out of trouble - <g>.
2. "I CAN'T SEE ANY IMAGES AT ALL IN MY MOZILLA FIREFOX BROWSER."
I am sorry that you had difficulty seeing the images. I also thank
you for mentioning your browser, since that is generally helpful when
debugging a problem.
The problem is, however, that I ~can~ see the images in ~my~ Firefox
browser (and in Internet Explorer) - here is a screen print of what I
can see in Firefox V.3.0 -
http://www.fromabove.us/usa/ma/parkerriver/images/firefoxsample.jpg
So, I don't know what to say. I do know from experience that web
development is tricky (because of operating system differences and
especially browser differences), and I also do know that it is
impossible to get graphics programming especially to work on all
browsers out there.
So, I am sorry that you didn't have any luck, but I do want to thank
you very much for your report. Perhaps I'll eventually figure out a
way to get it to display in ~everyone's~ browsers - <g>.
3. "THE LINK FOR PARKING LOT SEVEN AND BOARDWALK IS REALLY THE UPPER
SANDY POINT PARKING LOT AND THE TRAIL TO THE BEACH."
Thanks for pointing that out. I believe I now have fixed it (so that
"Parking Lot 7 and Boardwalk" hopefully points to the right place)
(and I also shifted the center of the "Sandy Neck Reservation" view
just a bit, to include both of its two parking lots at the same time).
[THANKS AGAIN TO PEOPLE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK.]

I don't see any reports on the HENSLOW'S SPARROW today, so I thought
I'd pass this along.
I was in Montague at about 1:30 - 2:30 this afternoon
(Thursday 07/02/09).
After about a 10 minute wait, the bird began to sing, then teed up
nicely for about 10 minutes.
Then was quiet and out of sight for 5 - 10 minutes. In the time I
was there, this pattern was
repeated a number of times.
Life Bird for me, as well as a woman that showed up just before I
left - I hope she was able to get her husband down there to get a
good look at this bird! Even the southbound traffic on I-91, on the
way home, couldn't diminish my satisfaction at having had great looks
at a HENSLOW'S SPARROW!

.. and the counts went on and on. I did these counts as there was an easin=

on the house repairs (from the noreaster last week) and count birds for a =
while. I saw things other than shearwaters but I'll leave those out for now=
(yes=2C things like jeagers=2C both storm petrels=2C fulmar etc.). The bul=

the bar and potline several times with many species involved. I did see wh=

the reports from them.

I'll be posting a bit on Henslow's Sparrows soon. For my masters I put tran=
