	I just received the October 1987 issue about a week ago. They have been
behind schedule for some time now, but they still insist that they will be back
on schedule in 1989. Also, with this issue, they started sending a newsletter
that will be published monthly. Supposedly they won't have a problem with the
schedule of the newsletter because it is published on a desktop computer.
We'll see.

	Does anyone do the photo quiz in Birding magazine? It seems to me that
some of the toughest are the ones labelled "beginner". I had a rough time with
the wren in the last issue, finally settling on Bewick's wren. This issue said
that it was a Winter wren. However, I do believe that I got the sparrow in this
issue.
