INVITING NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS 
Readers are urged to submit short pieces of interesting sightings, 
observations, incidents, etc., that do not require full-blown article treat¬ 
ment. Note the items on pgs 17 and 18 of this issue. This is the type of 
thing being sought. Most birders have had some unique experience, 
amusing, puzzling or informative. Why not share that experience with 
the rest of us? 
If there is a photograph involved, all we need is a slide or a print. 
If the Editor believes the item should be expanded to a full article, you 
will be invited to do so. 
FEEDBACK 
The Editor would very much like to hear from the readers of The 
Kingbird . There is an enormous amount of work involving a number of 
people, all of whom are volunteers, that goes into the production of this 
quarterly. The actual printing and distribution of the four issues per year 
consumes the greatest part of the FNYSBC annual budget. 
With all of this effort and expense, I would like to be certain that 
you, the reader is getting what he wants. I cannot know that unless you 
tell me. Is there some aspect of birding that we are missing that you 
would like to see included? 
All suggestions will be acknowledged and seriously entertained.
