Group Member Communications

We use Google Groups for communications among our members.  This is where you can ask questions to all members or share interesting bird-related things.

How to Join the High Country Audubon Google Group (hcbirders@googlegroups.com)

1. You will need a Google account. If you don’t have one, create a free account at google.com.
2. Go to groups.google.com
3. In the search box, type hcbirders and press Enter.
4. Click on the group name in the results.
5. Click the “Ask to join group” or “Join group” button.
6. Follow any prompts and click “Join” to confirm.
7. Once approved, you will receive an email confirmation and can start receiving and sending messages to the group.

If you don’t have a Google account and don’t want to create one, you need to send an email to hcbirders+subscribe@googlegroups.com from your email account. The subject and body of the email can be left blank.

Email Privacy

Google Groups protects member privacy in several important ways. Your email address and membership are not visible to other members or the general public — only the group managers can view the member list. Unlike our previous email tool, messages sent through the Google Group are not indexed by search engines, keeping your conversations within the group. Google also does not sell your personal information to third parties. You can leave the group at any time, and you control which email address you use to participate.
