Editorial Announcements 
SEARCH FOR EDITOR AND BOOK REVIEW EDITOR 
I have been fortunate to serve as Editor of The 
Wilson Journal of Ornithology from 2007 to Ihe 
present. Council of the Wilson Ornithological 
Society elected me to continue through 2012, and 
I have agreed to continue through that year. That 
will be 6 years and I indicated it was my intent to 
Step down at the end of 2012. Thus, we arc 
soliciting inquiries from people who have interest 
in serving as Editor of The Wilson Journal of 
Ornithology starting with Volume 125 (2013). 
The person selected will be expected to start by I 
July 2012 by organizing their office, receiving 
manuscripts, and starting them through the review 
and editorial process. Their first Issue (March 
2013) will need to be sent to the printer by 1 
December 2012. Most of the manuscripts in that 
issue will be those that are already in the system. 
People with interest in serving as Editor should 
have broad experience in ornithology, a demon¬ 
strated track record in scientific writing and 
publication, editing, and ability to produce 
products (the Journal) on schedule. Ability to 
work with authors is a must. 
Dr. Robert B. Payne, who has served admirably 
as Book Review Editor since December 2008, has 
indicated his desire to step down as soon as a 
replacement can be found. Thus, those that may 
be interested in this volunteer position should 
contact me immediately. The person selected will 
be expected to receive books from publishers and 
select reviewers to produce timely reviews. We 
have been publishing about six Book Reviews in 
each Issue of the Journal but the number has 
varied from ~ 4 to 7 per Issue. There is no stated 
tenure for this position and frequently Book 
Review Editors serve at least through the term 
of one and. at times, several Editors. 
Those interested in the Book Review Editor 
should contact me (sg-wtp@juno.com) immediate¬ 
ly. Council of the Wilson Ornithological Society 
and the Publications Committee will be involved in 
review of potential candidates and selection of the 
next Editor of The Wilson Journal of Ornithology. 
All inquiries can be directed to me or Robert C. 
Beason. President of the Wilson Ornithological 
Society (Robert.C.Beason@gmail.com).
