If you want to share your bird photos with hundreds of people around the
world, consider:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/birds-pix/

Yahoo no longer stores the photos, but you can subscribe via email or read
the group at its mirror:

http://groups.google.com/group/birds-pix

For general national discussion about birds (no pet birds or feeder
discussion) consider BirdChat. It's not a Yahoo Group though:

http://listserv.arizona.edu/archives/birdchat.html

A very large web site that allows photo attachments and hosts discussion
forums on all manner of birding topics is:

http://www.birdforum.net/

In all these cases, a free subscription is required, but these venues are
generally better informed than rec.birds

There is one newsgroup devoted to binary photos of birds. It is:

news://alt.binaries.bird

If your NSP doesn't carry it, ask them. It's not bad.
