Birds

The following list contains all species reliably reported within or flying over the park, as of November, 1971. With minor changes, the list and the status of each species follows the checklist compiled by Dr. E. J. Wilhelm, Jr., June, 1966. Charles E. Stevens provided the habitat data. Common names follow the A.O.U. Check-list of North American Birds, 5th Edition, 1957. Where no habitat symbol appears, either the species is generally seen flying, it is rare, or its habitat use within the park has not been determined.

Habitat symbols: 1 oak, oak-hickory forest; 2 cove hardwoods; 3 hemlock, hemlock-white pine groves; 4 oak-pine forest; 5 birch-maple forest; 6 wooded streams, stream margins, boggy places; 7 fields, road shoulders; 8 shrubby abandoned fields; 9 shrub swamp; 10 open cliffs, rock outcrops; 11 shaded cliffs, rock outcrops

Occurrence symbols: A accidental, unexpected because extra-limital, only one park record; O occasional, two to eight park records; R rare, occurs at wide intervals, usually in small numbers; U uncommon, occurs in small numbers in limited habitats; C common, occurs regularly in suitable habitats

Seasonal symbols: Sp spring; Su summer; F fall; W winter

Status symbols: r resident, present throughout year, breeds in park; b breeder, breeds in park in summer, spends cooler months south; t transient, passes through park in migration, non-breeder; v visitor, wanders into park in summer or winter, non-breeder.
