Readers of this list may be aware that the AOU is meeting this week in Portland, OR. Those of you who, like me, find the thought of traveling discouraging this summer may have some interest in a blog<http://redesign.birds.cornell.edu.>sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology that attempts to seek out particularly interesting presentations and present them in a nutshell. The blog is written by Lab science writer Hugh Powell. I think Ohio birders may appreciate his combination of scientific acumen and wry wit, both of which he gets from his father.
