to future issues of the journal. The structure of the journal has been
re-organized, and a new format will be introduced with the next issue, due
out in the spring of 2003. Submissions can be in the form of one of the
following categories. As before, the scope of the journal is primarily the birds of Utah, but relevant submissions from adjacent regions of other states are welcome. The journal will be published twice a year. Submission deadlines are: January 1 for the spring issue, and July 1 for the fall issue. Instructions for authors can be found in back issues of the journal, or can be obtained by contacting the editor or manuscript editor.
