an ornithological record of sightings in the commonwealth
The VSO Board approved the publication of a journal to record bird sightings in Virginia at the February 2004 Board meeting.  The volunteer regional editors are on board and ready.  The first reporting period will be Summer 2004 (see schedule below).  Please send your unusal, interesting, early, late, etc. sightings to the Regional Editors.  Expected publication date for the first issue will be Jan/Feb 2005, posibly earlier.  VSO members will receive the publication as part of membership for the first year.
Deadlines for submitting your reports to the Regional Editors:

************NOTE THAT THE FIRST REPORTING PERIOD WILL BE SUMMER 2004***************

Spring (March - May) June 15
Summer (June - July) August 15
Fall (August - November) December 15
Winter (December - February) March 15

After much discussion and agonizing, we decided to mirror the schedule used by North American Birds, so reporting up will be easier.
