Jordan, I don't know how to suscribe to Bird Brains but you can read the messages at http://birdbrains.listbot.com/ Also they have a very up to date RBA which can be accessed at http://www.birder.com/birding/alert/ And, Tropical Audubon has a local phone number that gets updated with sightings in the area. I don't have the phone number off hand but I'm sure its on their web page. Have fun. sue -- Susan Heath Fairfax County Centreville, VA sheath@erols.com
