A continuous turnover of species in response to migratory movements ensures birders ever-changing experiences matched to the seasons.

Species probably breeds in the area Birds occurring near the WMA/WEA, but not actually recorded within its borders, are counted on the list if suitable habitat exists and if reasonable probability exists that the bird will occur there in the future. Thus, very rare birds recorded outside the WMA are not included on the list, but common birds are. How you can help This checklist is just a starting point. We are counting on you and other birders to let us know if you note additions or changes in status to species on this list.
