High Country Area Bird Occurrence

Here are lists of the status of bird species occurrence, in each of the five counties Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Watauga, and Wilkes, and also in the 5-county region as a whole. Info on each species gives seasonal occurrence, nesting and wintering status, extreme dates, high count, and comments. The color code pink is for undocumented species. Birders are highly encouraged to refer to these files in the field, and to include pictures and full descriptions of any previously undocumented species, in their reports.

To see the right format, either choose to "view with google sheets" or download and view with a spreadsheet program or app.    Updated 1/2024 GM
