Tips on Searching

  • - Use spaces to separate keywords and/or phrases.
  • - Note that * and ? wildcards are supported. For example, *bird would return both "bluebird" as well as "catbird" but ???bird would return catbird but not bluebird.
  • To find a specific regional report, enter the following in the search field (enclosed in quotes):
                  For spring, summer, or fall:   "region n season yyyy"        Example: "region 5 summer 1982"
                  For winter:   "region n winter yyyy-yyzz"      Example:  "region 10 winter 2002-2003"

Please Note:

1. In the search results list, you can find the year, volume, and number of the Kingbird issue containing the article cited. The filename in the URL is in the format yYYYYvVVnNxxxxxxx.pdf, so you can easily pick out the year, volume, and issue number, plus information like author, kingbird region, etc., depending on the type of article cited.
2. You may find errors in some files in the database. Most of these have been introduced during the automated scanning and text recognition process. If you find substantive errors that you feel need to be corrected, please . Please be aware also that there may be exception cases where a word was not recognized by the indexing software in a particular file, so that the file may not appear in the results list when that word is searched for.
