Tennessee Birders (and non-Tennesseans who bird Tennessee),

I need your help.

As editor of The Migrant, the journal of the Tennessee Ornithological 
Society, I'm in need of material for the journal.  The Migrant has been 
behind schedule for years.  I'm trying to catch up.  The September 2001 
issue should be in TOS member mail boxes by now, and I expect to have the 
December 2001 issue out by Thanksgiving.  I had high hopes of trying to put 
the March 2002 issue out in December 2002 (hey, a 2002 issue in 2002, is 
that legal?), and maybe even reaching my ultimate goal of having the March 
2004 issue come out in March of 2004.

Unfortunately, all my grand plans are for naught if folks who observe and 
study birds in Tennessee don't submit manuscripts and short notes 
documenting their observations.

This e-mail is a plea to all of you to consider writing up and submitting 
details regarding interesting sightings.  I know there are new records for 
many counties and even first or second state sightings that have never been 
written up.  Notes can be as short as a paragraph or two.  Reviews of the 
status of birds with rapidly changing populations (increasing or 
decreasing) would also be of interest to many readers.  You don't have to 
be a professional ornithologist to make meaningful contributions to the 
knowledge of Tennessee birds.

The Migrant has a long history.  I'd like to keep it going.  I know it 
takes time to put thoughts on paper, but please make the effort.

Thanks,

Chris Welsh
