UPDATE: I've been informed that I'll need to delete the Avian Biology pages from my university's server by mid-August 2022. I'm currently looking for a new site for these pages. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know. Also, I'm an ornithologist, not a web designer so if anyone is up to speed on how to efficiently transfer websites to a new host, feel free to get in touch with me at gary.ritchison@eku.edu. Thanks!!
