Preliminary Notes toward an Avian Fauna of Upstate New York

The Turner History of the Pioneer Settlement of the Gorham-Phelps purchase has quite a bit to say on some types of birds as well. The main types of birds mentioned so far seem to be:

• The carrion birds 
• The duck 
• The goose 
• The hawk 
• The owls 
• The pigeon 
• The quail 
• The raven 

This list needs to be fleshed out and populated of course.
