Coast Birds Annotated Checklist:
Special thanks to Ned Boyajian for his contribution to collecting and compiling
records of birds sighted on the coast! A never-ending project, what
we trying for here is an annotated checklist of the birds of the six coastal
counties of Mississippi in a form that can be periodically monitored and
updated. Ned has compiled data from several sources, and continues to
collect information on bird sightings on the coast. This annotated
checklist is located on our Coast Birds
webpage.
