Greetings... John Habig wrote an article about the birds reported here on the Ohio-birds list serve during 2007. It's available on the Ohio Ornithological Society website under the "news" section at http://www.ohiobirds.org. The article raises a few questions about the nature of bird reports, what gets reported and what doesn't get reported, as well as to where and when the "what" gets reported, etc. There's also a complete list of the species reported to the list serve in 2007 and two tables that break down some of the reporting by month and rarity level. Of course, not every bird recorded in Ohio by birders and researchers in 2007 made it to the Ohio-birds list serve, but that's part of the article, too. I thought list serve members and readers might find the article of interest.
