Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Preliminary List of the Birds Found in Vermont The following list of birds includes all species which have been taken in the State. A very few of the species given are no longer found in Vermont. A larger number have been found only occasionally, and some may never appear again. The larger part, however, of those listed are usually found within the boundaries of our State, and it is very probable that more extended study of our bird fauna will add a not inconsiderable list to that here given. This is probably most true of the water birds, for it has been difficult to obtain information as to these. One of the main objects in publishing this list which the authors wish regarded as in no sense final, but only provisional, is that fuller information as to our resident and migratory birds may be gained. On this account additions, corrections and facts concerning our birds are greatly desired. As to the present list all that we or any one can say of it is that it is as complete as it is possible to make it in the present state of our knowledge of the birds of Vermont. Before anything like a complete and final list can be prepared much field work must be done. While it is not impossible that errors have crept into the list, the authors have intended to make it as accurate and trustworthy as possible. Very few species have been included which have not been actually seen by the authors or examined by some competent authority. Species which are known in the State only as they have been seen during flight or at rest, but have not been taken, are not included.
