Hey everyone,
I know you already know that dinosaurs are glorified birds, but i thought you
might like to read a little more deeply about this relationship as reported in
today's Science article;

Subject: Editorial in PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS on state journals
From: Ted Floyd <tedfloyd57(AT)hotmail.com>
Date: 25 Apr 2008 11:06pm
Hello, BirdChatters.
There's a thought-provoking editorial in the current issue of the journal
Pennsylvania Birds. Topic is state/regional print journals in the online era;
author is Geoff Malosh, Editor-in-Chief of Pennsylvania Birds. The editorial is
available as a free download from the Pennsylvania Society for Ornithology
website: http://www.pabirds.org/pabirds/CurrentSample/V21N4_Editorial.pdf
Geoff's editorial converges on several points that were brought out by Paul
Lehman in a recent commentary in Birding:
http://www.americanbirding.org/birding/v40n1p36.pdf
Reactions, anybody?

Hi Ted and Chatters:
I agree totally with Geoff's editorial; however, as someone who deals
extensively with historical records, I think his editorial does not
go far enough. There is one more dimension to his assessment of this
situation ... state journals are indeed needed, but they need to be
accessible to the birding community as ON-LINE archives!
This is actually a big hot-button of mine and something I plan to
advocate this year within my own Maryland Ornithological Society. One
example of this deals with our own journal, Maryland Birdlife. A few
years ago, the MOS created a PDF-format digitized archive of all
issues of Maryland Birdlife from inception through 1999. This archive
was produced as a CD-ROM (with a nice search engine). However, I will
be advocating to the MOS that this archive be placed on-line on our
MOS web pages for all to access. Sure, it takes up about 443MB of
space; however, storage is relatively cheap, these days.
As someone who frequents the libraries at the Patuxent Wildlife
Research Center in Laurel and at the Birds Division at the
Smithsonian in Washington, DC, I am amazing how often I find state
journals that are either totally missing from these collections or
the series are incomplete. From some recent research; however, I see
that more and more states are putting their historical archives
on-line and I encourage all organizations to do so. A nice "vision"
here would be to have all state journals digitized and on-line within
five years.
OK. Here's the punch line ... and my biggest pet peeve ... we, the
birding community, need the valuable Audubon Field Notes/American
Birds/Audubon Field Notes/North American Birds regional report series
archives ON-LINE!
Ted, can you get the ABA to take a position on this one!
Thanks.
Phil
