BIRDS IN THE ORONO BOG  (with links to songs and photographs) The diversity of plant life in the Orono Bog means that a diversity of birds can also exist. The following list is still "a work in progress."  If you find a species not on this list, please e-mail your finding, and supporting details to Jim Bird: Jim.Bird@umit.maine.edu Check this website for updates on bird sightings. Newest sightings are at the beginning of the list. After each bird, you will find an Internet address that will take you to a photo and more information on that bird, including a recording of its song and tips for identification. These bird links are from: Gough, G.A., Sauer, J.R., Iliff, M. Patuxent Bird Identification Infocenter. 1998. Version 97.1. Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Laurel, MD. http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/Infocenter/infocenter.html To use the link, double-click on it. Close the Patuxent bird info widow to return to this page. note: this list has been reorganized recently. Not all of the links are set to work automatically yet, but they are accurate. The list formerly on this page now appears at the bottom of the page. It has active links. It will be removed once the new list is fully operational. Meanwhile, happy birding. . .
