Notes:

cw = count week (Dec. 1315 & 1719) species.

Bold-faced name (1) represents a species new to the count, bringing the all-time Cookeville CBC species total to 124.

Boldfaced numbers (12) represent highest-ever totals for the Cookeville CBC.

Numbers (4) in parentheses after count totals represent highest counts ever for Putnam County; these numbers are lower than CBC totals because CBC totals include birds counted in the White County part of the CBC circle.
