BUCR

Counties of the Upper Cumberland Region of Kentucky and Tennessee

The 26 counties (map) comprising the Upper Cumberland Region cover an area of 26,450 km² (10,212.4 mi²). Each county is currently represented by a bird check-list although a few of the check-lists remain somewhat incomplete; links to these check-lists are underlined below. Each county is also represented by a description of public access birding sites within its boundary; to access these descriptions, click on the last link for a given county. Two counties (Pulaski, KY, and Putnam, TN) have lists of early and late dates of arrival and departure for migrant species, and two counties (also Pulaski, KY, and Putnam, TN) have lists of high counts for all species recorded within its boundaries. In addition, links are provided to datasets related to Christmas Bird Counts, Fall Bird Counts, Great Backyard Bird Counts, Spring Bird Counts, and a few other miscellaneous counts, surveys, or censuses conducted within a given county.
