Reports for 13 additional species WOOD-WARBLERS—PARULIDAE exist for Maine. Although some probably are correct, Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) the committee remains uncertain because we lack Worm-eating Warbler (Helmitheros vermivorum) conclusive evidence at this time. We plan to continue Louisiana Waterthrush (Parkesia motacilla) to review these species as new information becomes Northern Waterthrush (Parkesia noveboracensis) available. The Maine Bird Records Committee defines *Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera) a species in Maine as hypothetical if the record is Blue-winged Warbler (Vermivora cyanoptera) thought to be accurate, but the supporting Black-and-white Warbler (Mniotilta varia) documentation is not sufficiently complete to be Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea) accepted as a full record. Records in this category *Swainson’s Warbler (Limnothlypis swainsonii) usually lack physical documentation, whether by Tennessee Warbler (Oreothlypis peregrina) specimen, photograph, or recording, or involve Orange-crowned Warbler (Oreothlypis celata) descriptions that are only partially adequate. Nashville Warbler (Oreothlypis ruficapilla) Uncertainty regarding provenance or accuracy of *Virginia’s Warbler (Oreothlypis virginiae) locality information may also constitute reasons for Checklist of Maine Birds Page 7! placing a species on this list: Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator), (Camptorhynchus labradorius; extinct), Greater Prairie-Chicken (Heath Hen, Tympanuchus c. cupido; extinct), ( virginianus), Cape Petrel (Daption capense), Audubon’s Shearwater (Puffinus lherminieri), Band-rumped Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma castro), Black-billed Magpie (Pica hudsonia), Eurasian Jackdaw (Corvus monedula), Bewick’s Wren (Thryomanes bewickii), Boat-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus major).

Reported species regarded as erroneous. The following species have been reported in Maine. Review by the committee determined the identification was likely in error: Black-capped Petrel (Pterodroma hasitata).

Failed . The following species bred for some years in Maine but never became established: Gray (Perdix perdix) and Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus).
