With this issue, we initiate a new and regular feature in Western Birds. Hopefully it will stimulate increased contribution of notes on field marks, photographs of poorly known or aberrant plumages, and other information worth sharing. Short notes on little-known field marks are particularly desirable, but should be backed by field experiences documenting the relative usefulness of these marks, and, if possible, examination of specimen collections. Notice and occasional summaries of articles appearing in other journals will also be included. We also wish to encourage interested and knowledgeable individuals to write full length identification papers on some of the knottier problem groups (see below). The format of this section may change considerably from issue to issue. To a large extent, contributions will reflect your interests.
