Historic observations (sightings 

 reported prior to 1991 in this 

 latilong, and none since) 



[This example shows a species that is both lare (fewer than 20 recorded observations in the state), and 

 is a species of special status (threatened, endangered, or species of concern for some other reason)]. 



Bird Status and Number of Reported Sightings 



The number t)t reported sighdngs and status of each species is provided on the lines beneath the 

 species' name. Symbols and their definitions are explained below. 



1996-2002 = The total number of bird sightings reported for this species in die last seven years, 

 1996-2002. If no observadons were reported during this dme period ( 1996-2002 = 

 0) the year and location (latilong or quarter-latilong) of the most recent reported 

 observation are listed. 

 n = Rare birds (fewer than 20 xerified sightings in the state) are identificci by the letter "n" 

 followed by the total number of reported sightings recorded for the state. The vear 

 and location (latilong or quarter-latilong) of the most recent reported observation are 

 listed. 

 TES = Threatened, Endangered, and other Species of Concern (see Appendix A). 

 SI = Birds for which "Supplemental Information" is requested (see Appendix A). 



Status Symbols on Distribution Maps 



The maps on the following pages indicate the distribution of birds based upon observations made 

 during two distinct seasons: 



Breeding season (February 16 to December 14, which includes spring and fall migrations for 



many species), and 

 Wintering (December 15 to February 15). 



The breeding season maps are the large maps located to the right of the small wintering season
