The Ohio Cardinal has always been the journal of record for Ohio birds. Hence there has been no great hurry about getting copies to subscribers. My last issue as editor--that for fall of 2007--has been delayed unduly however, and as I have received many inquiries about it I feel I ought to explain the situation. The fall 2007 issue was mailed to me--as desk copies--and to the publisher by the printer over seven weeks ago, but as far as I know the mailing process is continuing. Subscribers should receive it soon, I dare to hope. Antiquated methods and slow postal attention to bulk mail always cause delays, but this time the lag is unusually long. I imagine most subscribers will be willing to get the issue whenever it finally arrives. In the meantime, I am willing to send a pdf--better than nothing--to them or any potential subscriber on request to my address above.
