[obol] Plaudits for Oregon Birds Field Notes

[Greg Gillson]

OBOL,

I would like to applaud the change in format to the field notes section in 
Oregon Birds (Dave Irons, "Field Notes: Spring 2006 - Statewide Season 
Report", Oregon Birds 32(3):121-129). The change from a long list of names 
and numbers to a format that explains the trends and significance of 
sightings is far more readable, informative, enjoyable, and usable to a 
wider audience.

And I can think of no better person than Dave Irons to author the first 
article in this new format. His 30 years of experience with the birds of 
Oregon and the US are invaluable in discerning long-term trends and regional 
significance.

I was unable to find the link on the OFO web site to the referenced web 
article (Gross, et al., 2007). I look forward to seeing how research is 
affected using the promised electronic detailed field notes.

Thank you!
