The Ohio Bird Records Committee's official state checklist (2008) covers 420 species. Since then, five other species have been accepted by the Committee (reddish egret, dusky flycatcher, Allen's hummingbird, golden-crowned sparrow, and whooping crane), with only the first two publicly announced, mainly because of delays in the publication in which decisions have traditionally been treated. Additionally, three Supplements to the official North American list have since appeared in the Auk, all with refinements that have caused significant changes to the Ohio list; many scientific and some common names have changed, as has the order in which they are currently arranged. Finally, the Committee has documentation, which in my opinion is significant and likely persuasive, for the addition of three additions to the Ohio list: a historical one for Bicknell's thrush, and recent ones for Cassin's sparrow and fish crow. This would put the Ohio list at 428 species, and I have included these species in [brackets] in the list so it can easily be updated if called for. If you have documentation for the sparrow or the crow, please send to Committee Secretary Ned Keller at [log in to unmask] . I have put together a simple PDF file of the Ohio list which incorporates all these changes. It is basic, but arranged according to the most recent order, and includes all additions and name changes. Just scientific and English names in the latest taxonomic order. As it is a PDF (150 KB), you can adapt it as you care to. I don't have a web site, but I can mail it as an attachment to anyone who asks for one. I tried hard not to make any mistakes, but if you find one, please let me know!
