Birds of Armenia Project 
We are seeking all sources of data on the birds of Armenia. We are most 
interested in personal field notes taken while in the country since 1960, 
and especially field notes from 1970-1994. We are also interested in data 
collected in the bordering areas of Turkey and Iran. Information on rare, 
endangered, or uncommon species is of greatest value. If you have any 
interest in contributing to our efforts, please contact: Dr. Daniel Klem Jr, 
Department of Biology, Muhlenberg College, 2400 Chew Street, 
Allentovm, PA 18104 U.SJ^.
