ALAN CRAIG [Alan M. Craig].Alan Craig was a San Diego birder who was very active in the formation of Western Field
Ornithologists, and was the first editor of Western Birds. Alan served on the editorial board of California Birds since its
inception; that journal was edited by the board for its first three volumes 1970-1972). In 1972 the journal was renamed
Western Birds, and Alan became the sole editor. He set the tone for the journal that lasts to this day: publication of
peer-reviewed, field-based, scientific papers aimed at the field ornithologists in western North America. Alan served as
Western Birds editor from Vol. 4 (1973) through Vol. 17 (1986), an amazing run of 14 years. During his tenure the journal
added color covers (starting with Vol. 12 in 1981) to its standard repertoire.
