Table 1. Species (96) detected during Macon County Foray—14–22 June 2013—and species (87) detected in that county during the 1986–1991 Breeding Bird Atlas (BBA) Project (Nicholson 1997) [Note: the Hartsville 5 block was not covered separately during the foray but was covered as part of the Hartsville 4 block because only about one-third of the Hartsville 5 block lies within Macon County, but Hartsville 5 was covered as a priority block during the atlas; it is possible that a few species not listed below for the BBA project were actually recorded within the Macon County part of that block, but access to the data that would determine this information was not available if they even exist].
