Readers might be interested in looking over posts that appeared on this list in this week during this week in 2003. By this year, Vic Fazio's dedicated single-handed attentions had enabled observers to share information, etc. on Ohio's birds for a number of years, and he had handed the listserve to the new Ohio Ornithological Society, which has managed it since. There are over a hundred posts in this document covering that week, and readers might enjoy reliving the anticipations of Hurricane Isabel, the coverage of the state at that time, and seeing the names of other birders who for one reason or another no longer appear on Ohio-Birds, and any changes the anthropologists among us might analyze... http://web.archive.org/web/20040123065256/http://lists.envirolink.org/pipermail/ohio-birds/2003-September/thread.html This might prove interesting and amusing in seeing the changes in bird-talk--and birds--only a dozen years ago, and I suggest it for an idle hour during the coming deluges. Feel free to post your feelings! --Bill Whan, Columbus ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
