Until i do each of the species accounts, and until i note it as complete here (pending new information), this section will be mainly used to give information related to the finding of the area specialties, any rarities that show up, and an ongoing compendium of recent sightings of interest for Trinity County.</div> <bR> <div> There will eventually be a standardized set of listings, as i work on that i will introduce a key below to help in understanding these listings. Using code as such will save a great deal of space on these pages. </div> <bR> <div> <B><U>HOW TO READ THE SPECIES ACCOUNT LISTINGS</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>ABOUT SUMMER RESIDENT/BREEDING BIRDS</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>ABOUT MIGRANT BIRDS</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>THE LEAP-FROG EFFECT </U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>EARLY ARRIVAL OF MALES</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>ABOUT WINTER RESIDENTS</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>ABOUT THE SPREAD OF MEXICAN SPECIES NORTHWARD</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>ABOUT THE SPREAD OF THE EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE</U></B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
