["Ritchison, Gary" <Gary.Ritchison@xxxxxxx>]

Mark Vukovich and I have a paper coming out in the next issue of Southeastern 
Naturalist that is based on our work with Short-eared Owls and Northern 
Harriers at the Peabody Wildlife Management Area a few years ago, and the 
Production Editor would like a color photograph of either species for use on 
the journal cover. Neither Mark nor I have a photo of sufficient quality for 
the cover and so I'd like to know if any of you  Kentucky birders has a 
good-quality photo of either a Short-eared Owl or Northern Harrier that you'd 
be willing to donate for one-time use on the cover. If so, please send it to me 
by email and I'll pass it along to the Production Editor. If more than one is 
submitted, I'll let the Production Editor choose the one he'd like for the 
cover. The photographer will be acknowledged in a short blurb on the inside 
cover.

The Production Editor's email is provided below. Thanks in advance to those of 
you willing to share your photo(s).

Cheers,
Gary Ritchison

Gary,
We are wondering if you might have a color photograph relating to your upcoming 
article on Short-eared Owls and Northerrn Harriers in the Southeastern 
Naturalist that might be suitable for the journal cover. If so, would you be 
willing to donate the one-time use of the photograph to the journal? We are 
ideally looking for an image that would fit well into an approximately 4" wide 
by 5-1/8" high space. Orientation of the original image isn't as important as 
the question of whether a vertical image can be cropped from either a vertical 
or horizontal image. The image should have an interesting composition that is 
somehow "striking" or "charismatic." It should be high contrast in terms of 
lights and darks. Also, it should have a good color range, good depth-of-field, 
and crisp focus. Your suggestions for images are very welcome! We prefer 
photographs as 350 dpi TIFF files, but prints or slides are acceptable. 
(However, initially, any images sent to me for consideration as attachments 
should be only low resolution versions as the size of high resolution color 
images files can really bog down our server connection) Thank you. Best wishes 
... Keith
