The new Birds of Sullivan County,
NY, A Checklist and Summary of Records, published in December
2008, shows every species found in the county and includes
information about its abundance and the times of the year
each is found. Valerie Freer maintains
the bird records for Sullivan County Audubon Society (with
a few records dating back to the
1950’s). The database of over 35,000 records includes bird sightings
reported by many local and out-of-
county birders as well as feeder count reports submitted
throughout the winter months by over 30
local participants.
During the latter part of 2008 Valerie and John Haas reviewed
the records and updated the checklist
of birds, adding 8 species to the list and making many modifications
in it to show changes in the
dates that some birds have been seen in the county. Sullivan
County's checklist of birds now includes
288 species. Of these, 41 are accidentals, 135 species breed
regularly, and 11 others have been
known to breed at least once.
With the further help of Phyllis Jones, this checklist was
formatted and printed. This is the 5th edition
of the Birds of Sullivan County, NY. Congratulations on a
job well done and “Thank You” from
all the birders who use this valuable resource!
There
are two versions of the checklist available here
for viewing or printing.
These
require Adobe Acrobat Reader. (Download
