Am. Birds CBC issue - errata



I assume that all of you that have received the American Birds Christmas
Count issue of the 1998-99 counts, which I received (2 copies) a few
days ago. I noticed, in both copies, that the NY and NJ counts are
missing. Yes, pages 131-162 are missing, and that pages 163-194 are
duplicated. YIKES!  Ricky Davis just called me and mentioned that his 2
copies are the same, so perhaps all of the thousands that were mailed
out have the same problem.

As Ricky and I write for National Audubon (which publishes the count
book), we will contact the NAS folks about what they plan to do to
correct this major problem. (Our complaints will be mild compared with
the complaints they will get from birders in NY and NJ, if their books
have the same mistake. The worst part of this is that people now pay
JUST for the CBC issue, which NAS publishes. (American Birding
Association has now taken over the 4 seasonal issues).

At least the NC and SC count pages are all there!
