Hi, Birders:

Western Field Ornithologists is now soliciting papers for presentation
during the general science session at its 39th annual conference, hosted by
San Diego Field Ornithologists in San Diego, California, October 8-12.

As always, papers should reflect original research or summarize existing
unpublished information about birds in western North America. The papers
should be presented in a manner that will interest serious amateurs and
professional field ornithologists alike. Each presentation will be allotted
fifteen minutes, including three minutes for questions from and discussion with
the audience -- a hallmark of WFO conferences.

Review the call for papers at
http://www.westernfieldornithologists.org/docs/2014/CallForPapers_WFO_2014.pdf Note the range of topics and the
geographic area appropriate for the meeting. Also note the format to follow when
submitting an abstract, which you can do NOW. July 1 is the deadline for
receipt of abstracts.

See http://www.westernfieldornithologists.org/conference.php for
preliminary information about the conference, and check it regularly for updates.
Registration will open in mid-June. Current members of WFO will be able to
register in advance of the general public.

I hope to see you in San Diego in October!
Please forward this "call for papers" to others you know who may be
interested in participating.
