The Bird Checklist Project, part of the larger Preserve Bird
Project, has shown that more than 255 bird species have occurred
in the Preserve in the past 25 years. At least 220 (87%)
of these bird species have been observed between August 1999
and August 2001. In 2000, 2001, and 2002 the Breeding Bird
Study confirmed the nesting of 69 bird species.
The short Preserve Bird Checklist shows species abundance
by season.
The long Preserve Bird List shows species habitat and abundance
by month.
