[rec.birds] what is rare

rising@utzoo.UUCP (Jim Rising) (12/07/87)

It is a problem knowning what is locally rare.  Really, you just have to learn
an area.  There are some publications that give seasonal reports, e.g.
AMERICAN BIRDS.  There is also a publ. by Amer. Birding Assn. and others 
that perhaps other netters will post.  Often just need local publications
and local experience.  E.g., Pine Warbler is a fairly common breeder in
pines in central Ontario, but quite uncommon in migration it seems to me.
