Latest updated list of RBA phone hotlines. December 1990. New information is marked with asterisks. Two new states have joined - Georgia and Oklahoma. We still need volunteers from Hawaii, Kentucky, amd North and South Dakota. Please supply corrections - or extract, correct, and re-post. The data for this list originates from the ABA. Please notify them of corrections at 1-800-634-1776. These hotlines are usually updated weekly. In most cases it is possible to leave a message at the end of the recording. Sometimes there is a separate number for leaving messages, which is listed below. For information about the North American Rare Bird Alert (NARBA) service, which is by subscription only, call the Houston Audubon Society at 713-932-1639. Hotlines marked + are transcribed by volunteers onto computers and are available on the BIRD*** mailing lists on BITNET. To subscribe to one or more of these mailing lists, send an Internet mail message to LISTSERV@ARIZVM1 [Bitnet] listserv%arizvm1.BITNET@arizvm1.ccit.arizona.edu [Internet] containing one line : sub birdwest your_full_name_goes_here (Western US RBA's) ; or sub birdcntr your_full_name_goes_here (Central US RBA's) ; or sub birdeast your_full_name_goes_here (Eastern US RBA's) For more information on this service (for instance, if you want to volunteer to transcribe your local hotline and post it there!) contact CWILLIAMSON%PIMACC.PIMA.EDU (Chuck Williamson) or NYS%cu.nih.gov (Norman Saunders).
