Thanks for asking about the Ohio Winter Bird Atlas, Mike. We are very close to a finished manuscript and we're working with our partners at the Ohio Division of Wildlife, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and Ohio Biological Survey, to publish the Atlas in book form. It will be available from a variety of sources. For those who aren't familiar with the project, this is the first winter bird atlas ever conducted in the country, a ground-breaking effort that would not have been possible without hundreds of volunteer observers. We opted for a multi-author approach to tap into the wonderful writing skills that exist in this state, and dozens of volunteers wrote the 180+ species accounts as well. Thanks again for asking, and for helping with the project. We'll keep you posted as we move closer to the actual publication date!

I enjoyed taking part in that bit of January record keeping, and wondered how far away they are from publishing the results, and if those results are going to be available in print or online. Take care, ---Mike Busam Butler County, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
