I just received this, and I thought anyone who still has some spare time
might be interested in joining 5 or 10 additional lists. I'm assuming
everyone will spend all their time at the computer now, birding virtually,
with a great concomitant saving of fossil fuels.

>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 rblom at blazie.com
