Table 1. Species (108) detected during Van Buren County Foray—13–15 June 2011—and species (c. 95) detected in Van Buren County during the 1986–1991 Breeding Bird Atlas (BBA) project (Nicholson 1997). To view a map of results for a species detected during the foray, click on the alpha code. Note: the foray blocks labeled CU2, LW2, and STM5 are included in the maps, but these partial blocks were not covered independently as part of the foray effort but only as part of the coverage of adjacent blocks; thus, data for the foray derive from coverage of 33 blocks.
