[TN-Bird] TOS has something to learn

TN-Birders:
TOS has been searching how to put the Tennessee Ornithological Society journal, 
THE MIGRANT, online in a searchable format.

The Wisconsin Society for Ornithology has found a way for their journal to be 
put online and have made it happen !

Maybe we can learn something.  TOS has appropriated the money.

Let's go birding....
