Checklist Analysis – Bird Banter

For fun I’ve compiled a series of tables comparing the species of birds seen in various Washington counties sorted by various criteria. Abundance codes are assigned to species of birds based on likelihood of being seen, code 1 birds common, code 2 uncommon, code 3 usually seen every year, code 4 seen several times over the years but usually not annually, code 5 only 1-5 records. The first table is just the total ABA and Data from Washington Birder and the ABA checklist. Scroll down to see tables of ABA species, WA species alphabetically, and WA species by various groupings of codes.
