If anybody else needs to know about rare bird alerts, e-mail to me or post the request and I'll be glad to help. Or you could join the American Birding Association. Send $24/year (for individuals; $30 for families) to ABA, POB 6599, Colorado Springs, CO 80934. Their monthly publication ``Winging It'' has all the latest hot sightings and a page full of rare bird alert numbers. They also publish _Birding_ magazine, which has lots of articles on field identification, reviews of books and optics, etc. -- John Shipman/Zoological Data Processing/Socorro, New Mexico USENET: ucbvax!unmvax!nmtsun!john CSNET: john@nmtsun.nmt.edu ``A lesson from past over-machined societies...the devices themselves condition the users to employ each other the way they employ machines.'' --Frank Herbert
