Fall really has fallen now, at least for the Ohio Cardinal, despite my premature announcement a month ago. Please send your August through November sightings to Craig Caldwell, 1270 W. Melrose Dr., Westlake, OH, 44145 or craig_caldwellATsbcglobal.net (substitute the “@” symbol for “AT”). In addition to sightings, we welcome photos, anecdotes, book/e-media/app reviews, general interest articles, and research papers. If you enter your sightings into eBird, you do not need to send a report – we download all the entries directly from Cornell. Feel free, however, to expand on items in your eBird list in a separate note to me, because I can’t look at every note in eBird. If you attach a file (Word, Excel, ASCII text, or similar) to an email, please include your name and the season in the file name and also within the file itself. Calling the file “smith-fall12” instead of “sightings” will save me time and stomach lining! And digital photo files, please; send prints only with prior approval. If you post photos to FaceBook, Flickr, or the like, you can send me links to them rather than the photo files themselves. The deadline is December 21. Thank you in advance. We’ve begun to reduce the backlog of Cardinal issues. Fall 2010 is in the mail to those who haven’t already received it and Winter 2010-11 is in layout.
