Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on List of birds of Ohio. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110727141957/http://www.ohiobirds.org/index.php to http://www.ohiobirds.org/index.php

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Herons
The tricolored heron is listed here. Are these really seen in Ohio? These are coastal birds, and their Wikipedia article doesn't show their range as including Ohio.

I'm also somewhat wondering about the Little blue heron-- great blues are certainly seen here, but little blues are not usually listed as being found in Ohio.

Are there references for these? Geoffrey.landis (talk) 00:38, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Both are on the list of the Ohio Ornithological Society at http://ohiobirds.org/resources/official-ohio-ornithological-society-bird-checklist/. SchreiberBike &#124; ⌨ 01:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)


 * OK, turns out that the South Dakota page has maps of range, showing Tricolored as "vagrant" in Ohio, and Little Blue as "passage migrant".


 * But the south dakota page is blacklisted on Wikipedia for some reason, so I can't show the link. (https://) www.sdakotabirds.com/species/maps/tricolored_heron_map.htm and www.sdakotabirds.com/species/maps/little_blue_heron_map.htm Geoffrey.landis (talk) 15:18, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

July 5, 2020 revisions
Because of the large number of changes necessitated by the update to the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds which the American Ornithological Society published on June 30, 2020, the revisions to this article are presented here rather than in a long series of edit summaries. Changes are per the AOS unless otherwise noted.
