This issue also marks the sixth for Paul Nicholson and I as co-editors.
With our initial two-year commitment now complete, Paul and I have decided
to step down from this joint role in order to pursue exciting new ventures.
As such, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank the following
collaborators for their time and efforts:
*Lynne Freeman, Bob Cermak, and the OFO Board
*graphic designer Judie Shore
*editorial team members Geoff Carpentier, Jean Iron, Ron Pittaway, Sofía
Shanahan, and our contributing editors
*all those who have contributed articles, photos, and input over the past
two years
Good birding!
Ian Shanahan and Paul Nicholson
