Forwarding a note sent to the ID-Frontiers listserv. SORA (Searchable Ornithological Research Archive) has added online, searchable PDFs of back issues of North American Birds published by the ABA as well as its predecessors Field Notes and American Birds published by Audubon going back to 1973 (presumedly older issues will follow) though it appears to exclude the CBC issues (for FN and AB). See below for the link. Dean Edwards Knoxville, TN ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:06:37 -0700 From: Joseph Morlan To: BIRDWG01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [BIRDWG01] "North American Birds" now online on SORA Maybe this is old news, but I just noticed that the journal "North American Birds" is now online in searchable PDF format at: http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/NAB/index.php Included are Volumes 27-61 from 1973 to 2008. I expect this will be an extremely important research tool. -- Joseph Morlan, Pacifica, CA SF Birding Classes start Sept. 15 http://fog.ccsf.edu/~jmorlan/ California Bird Records Committee http://www.californiabirds.org/ Western Field Ornithologists http://www.westernfieldornithologists.org/ =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
