New York ListServe - NYSBirds-L

NYSBirds-L is an informal discussion list for birders in New York State.   This list is designed to inform both casual and avid birders of interesting sightings of birds in New York as well as to serve as a forum for information about birdwatching and bird-related activities within the state.  Messages sent to the list address will be sent on to all those who have subscribed.  To join the list, send an email to , leave subject line blank, and the body of the message should read:

subscribe NYSBirds-L your real name

In the line above, your real name is, of course, your real name. The listprocessor is an automated system and will extract your email address from the header of your message.  Since a computer, not a person, will read your message, additional words to make the message more polite are unnecessary and will interfere with the computer's ability to find the information it's looking for. 
 
You will receive a welcome email which will tell you how to change your mail options and how to unsubscribe from the list; save this information for future reference.
