Hi Jason,

Since I replied to your message a nice list came in from Rick Bloom via
Birdchat. --Dan

Subject: LIST OF LISTSERVS

If you subscribe to all of them except the non-North American and foreign
language lists you will get over 400 messages a day!

============
BIRD WATCHING LISTSERVS
The following is a list of bird-related e-mail discussion groups
(called listservs). Individuals may subscribe to any of these lists and
they will receive all messages posted to the group. Some listservs generate
as many as 100 messages a day, but most have far fewer. A few of the lists
are not specific to birds but are included because bird related topics
appear in the discussion. There are also many listservs that are
discussions of policy and the environment and environmental politics.
Unless I am aware that they regularly include specific discussions about
birds, they are not included.

For each of the listservs below there are three lines. The first
is the name of the listserv. A short explanation is included. These are NOT
reviews, they are explanations. The second is the e-mail address you use to
subscribe to the listserv. The third line is the message you send to
subscribe. Where it says "Your Name," type in your own name, without the
quotation marks. Do not put any message in the subject line of your e-mail.
The only information your need is the message, in the body of the e-mail.
Some listserv requests are case sensitive: that is, they require careful
reproduction of caps and lowercase letters in the subscription message.

If you try and subscribe to any of these lists and get error
messages, check the address carefully. Even an unwanted or inadvertent
space can cause an error. I have sent subscription messages successfully to
every one of the lists except for non-North American ones and ones in
foreign languages. They all work as of this date (March 1, 1998). If you
have additions, updates, or corrections, please send them to Rick Blom at
