This table contains all non-avian vertebrate species documented on Ohio Dominican's campus since January of 2012. The full bird list can found at eBird, and currently (August 2015) contains 117 species. These lists are based on field trips with my Ecology, Environmental Science, General Biology, and Ichthyology classes, as well as my time exploring campus.
