As a correction to the list of topics for the VSO annual meeting paper
session on Saturday afternoon May 1st, the historical look at Virginia's
birdlife will begin with fossil evidence, then consider archeological finds,
followed by historical records of the Roanoke Voyage of 1585, and time
permitting end with a brief discussion of John Smith's report.

Just a note that the Saturday afternoon paper session to be held during the
VSO annual meeting April 30-May 2 in Lynchburg is full to capacity. Topics

of the VSO, wind energy development in Virginia, a synopsis of 100 years of
Christmas Bird Counts in Virginia, Bald Eagle diet on the Chesapeake Bay, a
historical look at Virginia's bird life during the Colonial period, an
analysis of the role of catbird song in revealing the quality of a male's
parental care, methods of selecting and ranking bird species in greatest

We hope many of you can join us for three days of birding during spring
