Many of you on this list know Maj. Randell Rogers, an OOS member and avid Central Ohio birder. He was deployed to Irag and has been writing a newsletter, sharing his observations of Iraqi wildlife -- especially the birds -- ever since. The Columbus Dispatch featured him in a story today. For those who do not receive the paper and would like to read about his efforts, check out http://tinyurl.com/6dlhbb (I used a URL shortening site since the original URL is hundreds of characters in length.) You'll also find links to his informative and interesting newsletters there.
