Alan,
I prefer paper and cherish the old birding books you have sent me over the
last few years. Most I will not part with, like A-Birding on a Bronco,
by Florence Merriam Bailey - but a few I have sent to google for
electronic archival.
Said another way - I am on the fence with respect to how I fell about the
long-term durability of physical v electronic media.

I think both the technology and the organizations will not last long.
On the other hand I have been reading perfectly usable field notes written
by hand in 1914.

Imagine the possibilities to contribute content to trusted long-lived
organizations.
Having said that, a question in my mind remains. Should we trust Google
Earth to curate our contributions the way we trust Macaulay library?
I am inclined, at the moment, to answer yes - but then again I am
obviously quite smitten with the tech. . . .

The history of observations of one of my top nemesis species.
Select present with your *browser* in full-screen mode - then click
through the slides. Kind of cool that you can zoom in and actually see the
high-voltage wires.

Hi all,
My parents and I just had a beautiful GYRFALCON up Elk Mountain Rd. just
past where the high voltage wires intersect the road perpendicularly. Exact
coordinates: 45.4555109, -117.2080332. This is essentially the same
location as 2 years ago.
Happy winter birding,
Nolan Clements
