The National Birding Hotline Cooperative
==========================================
We are pleased to announce that the National Birding Hotline
Cooperative list on LISTSERV@ARIZVM1 has gone to a regional format. The
three new lists, which replace the former BIRD_RBA@ARIZVM1, provide a
clearing-house for transcribed birding hotlines for three major areas of
the country--East, West, and Central. The new lists are BIRDEAST,
BIRDCNTR, and BIRDWEST.
Current subscribers to BIRD_RBA will be automatically shifted to
all three of the new lists. New subscribers must choose which of the
three regional lists best answers their needs. Of course, new
subscribers may still subscribe to all three lists for full coverage.
Subscribers are invited to submit transcripts from their area of
the country if it is not already represented. A current list of
hotlines available from the National Birding Hotline Cooperative is
appended.
Contributions to the lists are always welcome and should be sent in
MAIL format to BIRDEAST, or BIRDWEST, or BIRDCNTR, all at ARIZVM1.
Please note that these are not intended to be general chat lists.
Contributions should either be transcripts of birding hotlines or, if a
local hotline recording is not available to you, concise statements of
species seen and the location of the sighting, along with any relevant
information such as 'out of range,' 'out of normal time frame,' etc. If
you are confused about which of the three lists to send your material
to, contact either of the list owners first. Their Bitnet/Internet
addresses are listed below.
You may subscribe to The National Birding Hotline Cooperative by
sending an interactive SUBSCRIBE command or by including a SUBSCRIBE
command as the ONLY line of a MAIL message to LISTSERV@ARIZVM1, as
follows:
Interactive example from CMS:
TELL LISTSERV AT ARIZVM1 SUB BIRDEAST <Your full name>
or BIRDCNTR
or BIRDWEST
MAIL example:
SUB BIRDEAST <Your full name>
or BIRDCNTR
or BIRDWEST
To cancel your subscription, issue the SIGNOFF command to
LISTSERV@ARIZVM1:
SIGNOFF BIRDEAST
or BIRDCNTR
or BIRDWEST
Do NOT send SIGNOFF or other LISTSERV commands to BIRDEAST,
BIRDCNTR, or BIRDWEST.
If you are on the Internet network, subscription messages should be
sent to LISTSERV@ARIZVM1.BITNET and hotline transcripts should be mailed
to BIRDEAST@ARIZVM1.BITNET (or CNTR or WEST, as the case may be). In
some cases, Internet mailer programs will not know how to get to a local
Internet/Bitnet gateway. If this appears to be a problem for you, send
subscription messages to:
LISTSERV%ARIZVM1.BITNET@CORNELLC.CIT.CORNELL.EDU
and hotline transcripts to:
BIRDEAST%ARIZVM1.BITNET@CORNELLC.CIT.CORNELL.EDU
or BIRDCNTR
or BIRDWEST
The following states are currently represented with transcribed
hotlines on the three regional lists:
BIRDEAST BIRDCNTR BIRDWEST
