Species in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS ARE REVIEW LIST SPECIES. Details of these
sightings are desired by the Ohio Bird Records Committee. Careful
observation, not ornithological expertise, is the only qualification for
submitting your data. For details and pointers see:

Snow Goose: East of Huron River, off Rt. 6, at River Rd., in a large field
next to the Huron Wastewater Treatment Plant, one blue and one white Snow
