Michigan Birds and Natural History welcomes articles and short notes on appropriate topics. See past issues for guidance.

Submit electronic files with articles double-spaced to the editor along with all tables and figures. Files (WordPerfect and Microsoft Word preferred) should be labeled with title (or abbreviated title) and the author(s) name(s). Tables and figures should not be integrated into text. Large tables and charts should be tall rather than wide. Text should be transmitted in “Rich Text Format” (*.rtf). Figures can be sent in native format.

No abstract is necessary.

Please read the full MBNH Style Guidelines.

Photographs should be submitted digitally to the photo editor, Allen Chartier, with a copy to the Michigan Audubon office. Photos of rarities from each season are particularly sought and excellent photos of other Michigan species are also desired.

When an article is received, it will be sent out to be reviewed. Based on the reviews the article will be revised and accepted for publication (if revisions are primarily grammatical and not of a substantive nature), or returned to the author with suggestions for a re-write.

Articles should be sent electronically to: Heather Good
