The eighteenth annual meeting of the Western Field Ornithologists was held jointly with the Arizona Field Ornithologists and Tucson Audubon Society from 30 July through 1 August 1993 at the Quality Inn in Tucson, Arizona. The Arizona folks organized a great meeting. Our field trips to all the southern Arizona haunts were exceptional. The Saturday paper session, banquet, and banquet speaker, Irene Pepperberg, were excellent. The local host committee—Joan and Bob Tweit, Shirley Davis, Tim Helentjaris, Barbara Koenig, Emery Froelich, Judy Edison, and Cherie Lazaroff—organized an outstanding meeting. I hope the WFO membership realizes how much time and effort are required to host one of our meetings—a special thanks to our Arizona members. During the planning, organizing, and operation of the Tucson meeting, one person deserves special credit, Joan Tweit, who gave so much of her time to oversee all activities, even the smallest detail, making the meeting very professional. In addition to the local committee, WFO appreciates the generosity of Wings, Inc., for its $200 contribution toward the meeting.
