The Best Sites (IMHO)
RBA's and
Birding listservs
RBA (Rare Bird Alert) These notices are available all
over the country by voice phone and internet. They are extremely
helpful.
A listserv works through email, but some are also posted on the web.
* refers to all birdingonthe.net lists - Mailing
List Instructions *
HMBirds : I have started a

| The sites below are particularly
interesting (to me). There are numerous other sites on specific birds that are easily found by searching the web using any of the popular search engines or web guides. Just type in the bird's common name. Use quotes for more than one word, for example "Red Crossbill". Some search engines: Google, Lycos, LookSmart |
