    Annotated Bibliography of Ohio Ornithology Bird records and studies from Ohio Copyright © 2017 Bill Whan Updated 18 November 2017 Below are references, some briefly annotated as underlined text where helpful, to published works on the ornithology of Ohio. Not covered are works not specific to Ohio, or publications concerning game propagation and introductions of alien species. Out-of-print volumes mentioned are on the shelves of good libraries, and increasingly on the Web. Key words (for example, localities, authors, English names of species) may be searched here. Every effort has been made to include all pertinent sources, but such a bibliography must remain a work in progress. The compiler would be grateful to hear from readers who have corrections or additional entries to suggest. After my labors thus far I am moved to offer my profound gratitude to bibliographers of the past, as well as to librarians of the present. This document incorporates bibliographic entries from Gerrick 1968, which in turn incorporates those of Osborn 1930.
