2008 Vol. 17 Number 3 A JOURNAL OF ILLINOIS BIRDS Volume 17, Number 3 2008 ILLINOIS ORNITHOLOGICAL SocIETY President's Message Dear Members: Publisher This is my last message to you as President. My six years is up. Illinois Ornithological Society It is time for new leadership and fresh ideas. Michael Hogg, President Over the 1 7 years since IOS was founded, birding has flourished Sheryl De Vore, Chief Editor in Illinois. It would not surprise me if 10,000 people are active birders in our state today given the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Jenny Vogt, Vice-President estimate of 41 million active birders nationwide in 200 . Ye t our Alex Meloy, Treasurer l membership has not kept pace. It has fluctuated in a band between Geoffrey Williamson, 400 and 500 for some years now and is currently 472. Compare this Membership Secretary to IBET's 1,500 members or the newcomer Illinois Birders Forum's Board of Directors 465 members. The intervening years have seen the growth of the internet Joan Bruchman technologies that have given IBET and the IL Birders Forum their Scott Cohrs virtually cost-free platforms. The information sharing made possible Brian Herriott by these networks has significantly enhanced our birding experience. Michael Hogg They do, however, make us re-evaluate our model. If you can find out Marj Lundy what is being seen and where through IBET and go on free field trips Travis A. Mahan with your local bird club, why do you need to be a member of IOS? Jenny Vogt Jeffery Walk The answer of course is the Meadowlark, our field trips' rare bird focus and to support our scientific and educational mission. Associate Editors Unfortunately the membership revenues are not sufficient to support Steven D. Bailey a strong scientific and educational part to our mission. The identifi­ Paul R. Clyne cation skills focus at events like the Gull Frolic are good, but we need Jeffery Walk to develop youth-focused programs to build the next generation of birders. If we are to continue building our scientific and educational StaffPhotographers programs, we must attract more resources whether that be member­ Travis A. Mahan ship revenues, sponsorships or more volunteers. Mary Kay Rubey We have successfully adapted some of our programming to Eric Walters address the challenges of the internet age, but need to do more. For StaffIllustrators example, our field trips have attracted strong interest since we started Peter Olson to focus on difficult-to-find species, and our educational events, the Gull Frolic, the Spring Birding Weekend and the habitat-dependent Michael L. P. Retter Shorebird Spectacular have become excellent membership draws. Barbara Williams Also in planning is an Illinois Yo ung Birders Club. Pre-Press Production We have adopted the internet to enhance our offerings and reduce Kathy Ade our costs. Overtime our web site has become a better communica­ [email protected] tions tool and we have additional improvements in the planning stage Printing such as a Members Only section with premium content. CityWide Printing There is a lot to be proud of. Thanks must go to our energetic Des Plaines, Tllinois board and the many others who support our activities. To day we have more members active in running our programs than ever before and Editorial Advisory Board we continue to innovate to make our offerings more attractive. I am Steven D. Bailey confident that this will continue and that our leadership is up to the Paul R. Clyne task of maintaining and improving the excellence of our programs. Ve rnon M.
