INTRODUCTION

This set of pages will eventually contain the complete annotated checklist of Kerr County Birds which i have been working on since 1986. Until i do each of the species accounts, and until i note it as complete here (pending new information), this section will be mainly used to give information related to the finding of the area specialties, any rarities that show up, and an ongoing compendium of recent sightings of interest for Kerr County.

There will eventually be a standardized set of listings, as i work on that i will introduce a key below to help in understanding these listings. Using code as such will save a great deal of space on these pages.
