Excerpt from The Birds of Erie and Presque Isle, Erie County, Pennsylvania In the present list, for the sake of uniformity, the nomenclature and sequence of species given in the check-list Of North American Birds, published by the American Ornithologists' Union, have been followed, with, however, a few lately published changes which have been proposed, but not yet formally accepted. Species whose occurrence is to be expected, but which have not been actually recorded, are included in their proper places, enclosed in brackets, usually with a brief state ment of their extralimital records and with the proper references.
