Dissertation Abstracts. Biological Abstracts, Ecological Abstracts, and the 

 Zoological Record were also consulted but were less efficient sources of infor- 

 mation. All state bird journals dealing with the southeastern United States 

 (see list below) were scanned; these journals, along with American Birds (Audu- 

 bon Field Notes in earlier volumes) , provided much of the information on local 

 distribution in each state. 



We placed considerable emphasis on recentness of information in the liter- 

 ature search. A few journals (e.g., Wilson Bulletin, Bird-Banding) were exam- 

 ined for at least 30 years into the past, The Auk from 1930 to the present. 

 Many others, depending on the degree to which they yielded useful information, 

 were scanned for only a few recent years. We covered the foreign literature as 

 thoroughly as possible. Most of the species treated in this report have a wide 

 geographic distribution, and much of what is known of their breeding biology is 

 to be found only in foreign periodicals. The linguistic limitations of the 

 authors, as well as the temporal and fiscal limitations involved in the produc- 

 tion of this report, precluded full use of this material. 



Listed below are the serial publications covered extensively. Where appro- 

 priate, those areas of the world that these journals cover most thoroughly are 

 listed in parentheses.
