Not if you want to get good replies and info. The group is called rec.birds, not rec.birding, or rec.birders. Rec.birds is general enought to include indoor and outdoor. This is not to say that INDOOR: OUTDOOR: labels should not be used. I think they should and I admit that I forget to add them sometimes, but the OUTDOOR people are just as guilty as the INDOOR people. NOT MEANT TO START A FLAME WAR.
