[obol] FINAL art for Handbook of Oregon Birds and photos needed

[Alan Contreras]

I am very pleased to announce that by arrangement with Oregon Field
Ornithologists, we'll have eight pages of color plates and our desired array
of additional art for the Handbook of Oregon Birds.  Our intent is to
provide in a convenient, field-friendly format, illustrations that are
either not available in standard field guides or that are not easy to use
the way that they would normally be needed in the field.

Here is the proposed list of plates.  We can consider changes ONLY THROUGH
FEBRUARY 12, if you think a better selection would be advisable. Please note
that there is an eight-page limit on color plates.

If you are a photographer, please note the likely need for PHOTOS set forth
below.  A small payment for photos is possible if requested.

The artist will be Ram Papish of Newport.
