RI Bird Watching

This is the list of birds that are known to exist in Rhode Island. I started marking the birds I know I have seen, but as you can see, it is a long list. Hopefully, I will periodically update it to represent more birds that I can positively identify as I see them. I'm giving myself a check for the Bald Eagle. Technically, I have seen the Bald Eagles at the Roger Williams Park Zoo. I have seen wild eagles, but not in RI. Since there really aren't any standards for this list, I'm getting a check.
NOTE: If a check-box background is gray, the bird is a "vagrant" so it is less likely to be spotted.
