[I thought I could make this a little easier to read, it's good info- Thanks Dan! -  AF]

To All Ohio Birders: 

Please take a look at this very unique checklist of Ohio birds that includes:
 - All bird species that are currently on the official list of Ohio birds, as of December 31, 2016.
 - The taxonomic order and nomenclature, within each section, based on the Fifty-Seventh Supplement (July 2016) to the AOU Checklist of North American Birds.
 - Three separate species groupings/explanations for: Easier To See (203 species), Harder to See (93 species), and Ohio Review List Species (132),
 - A 'difficulty code number' for each species that may be most helpful to younger or beginning birders, not yet familiar with which Ohio birds are more common or expected.

Other Information:
 - This checklist may be used as a Daily, Monthly, Annual, and/or as a Life Ohio checklist.
 - It is recommended that this checklist be printed back-to-back. It can also be folded for easier transport/storage.
 - It is recommended that the 'lined' option be used as it may be important to record the date and location of 'first' sightings.
 - For a better understanding of the relative abundance and periods of peak passage for some Ohio birds, the purchase of the Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Ohio is also recommended. This same OBRC publication is also available via the OOS Website at www.ohiobirds.org. 
 - Please note that the OOS and checklist authors have given permission for this current revision of The Ohio Birds Checklist with Difficulty Codes to be forwarded/added/included to other Ohio Birding List-serves, Websites, blogs, birding Facebook groups, etc, as presented here in the two direct links below. This checklist is also available via the OOS Website at www.ohiobirds.org.
  
The two direct links of this most recent/current revision are:

 http://ohiobirds.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Ohio-Birding-Checklist_Lines.pdf
 
 Please consider this challenge: Take a look at the 'Easier To See' bird species (203 of them) on this Checklist. Choose an area (your yard, 'local patch', a Metropark, your County, the entire State of Ohio?). How many of these 203 species (or set your own goal) can you see/identify by the end of this year? You've likely already seen quite a few of them this January!
 
 Good Birding to everyone!
