The information contained in this report was taken from the records of the Tulsa Audubon Society for

the calendar year 2017. A summary containing all of the rare species reported is included.

The data is presented in two formats. One is a compilation of species reported by season. This is a

listing of the first and last dates reported, the number of field reports per season, the number of

individuals per season, the total number of reports, and the total number of individuals. The species

are divided into five reporting seasons: Permanent, Summer, & Winter Residents and Spring & Fall

Migrants. These time periods are based on the dates provided in the Oklahoma Ornithological

Society's Date Guide to the Occurrences of Birds in Oklahoma, Sixth Edition.

The second is a graphical representation of the same data. It provides a percentage of the total

count of a species reported for the year by the week reported. Each increment of each bar graph is

equal to 1 to 10% of the total count. The seasons are color coded starting with January 1st at the

left. This data is skewed towards two major reporting periods: the TAS Tulsa County Spring Bird

Count and the National Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count. It should not be concluded that the

abundance of these species peak at these times. This report includes birds that were submitted

directly to Cornell University's EBIRD database for the TAS reporting area.

This report also offers a brief comparison of the 2016 and 2017 records. There were 268 species

totaling 246,787 individuals in 23,021 field reports in 2017. The 2016 data contained 263 species

that totaled 270,782 individuals in 19,773 field reports. There were 16 species reported in 2016 that

were not recorded in 2017 and 21 reported in 2017 that were not seen in 2016. The reporting area

includes all of Tulsa County, all of Lake Keystone, and up to five miles into the bordering counties of

Creek, Okmulgee, Osage, Pawnee, Rogers, Wagoner, and Washington.
