The answer from Norm Saunders is no, the information from the Ospry's Nest
BBS is not available thru any FTP access. He did include the latest list
on BITNET's Rare Bird Alert, which I'm including for those who haven't
seen it. Note on the bottom, there is another birding BBS in Arizona
listed for west coast birders.
The following from Norm Saunders:

BIRD_RBA -- National Birding Hotline Cooperative
==================================================
We are pleased to announce BIRD_RBA, the National Birding Hotline
Cooperative list on LISTSERV@ARIZVM1. The list provides a clearing-
house for transcribed birding hotlines from around the country.
Subscribers will receive these transcripts as they are made available
to the list. Subscribers are further invited to submit transcripts
from their area of the country if it is not already represented. A
current list of hotlines available from BIRD_RBA is appended.
Contributions to the list are always welcome and should be sent
in MAIL format to BIRD_RBA@ARIZVM1. Please note that this is not
intended to be a general chat list. 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.
You may subscribe to BIRD_RBA 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 BIRD_RBA <Your full name>
MAIL example:
SUB BIRD_RBA <Your full name>
To cancel your subscription, issue the SIGNOFF command to
LISTSERV@ARIZVM1:
SIGNOFF BIRD_RBA
Do NOT send SIGNOFF or other LISTSERV commands to BIRD_RBA.
If you are on the Internet network, subscription messages should be
sent to LISTSERV@ARIZVM1.BITNET and hotline transcripts should be mailed
to BIRD_RBA@ARIZVM1.BITNET. 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:
BIRD_RBA%ARIZVM1.BITNET@CORNELLC.CIT.CORNELL.EDU
