The Kantori mailing list

Long ago in the Spring of 1997, when both of us were still living in Japan, Neil Fergusson and I started the mailing list Kantori for active birdwatchers interested in birds in Japan.
Now 4 years later we are no longer in Japan, but the list is going stronger and stronger with about 92 members inside and outside Japan. The usual language of conversation is english. Kantori is an automated mailing list and mildly moderated. Please join us!
The list runs on Yahoo-groups (formerly Egroups). After identifying yourself to Yahoo, you can subscribe to Kantori via the following link:

	  habitat preferences, changing habits, etc.

     interest of the list
