These lists are based upon surveys made by John Graham's Biological Diversity (BIO 106) class and by John Graham himself.  The class surveys were made during October (1996-1998) at Victory Lake and at the Main Campus.  The Bald Eagle (a winter migrant) was seen in December 1989, flying over Hermann Hall.   This is an incomplete list, especially with respect to the smaller perching birds (warblers, vireos, and sparrows).
