BIRDS OF BEXAR COUNTY TEXAS FIELD CHECKLIST

San Antonio Audubon Society (SAAS)

Introduction: Bexar County covers an area of 1246 square miles in south central Texas with

habitats varying from the Hill Country, to Post Oak Savannah, to Blackland Prairie, to South

Texas brush Country, and includes the Medina and San Antonio River Valleys. This checklist

was prepared by the checklist committee of the SAAS with input from other members.

Purpose: This Field Checklist is published in order to have readily available a current list of

those species occurring in Bexar County. It includes reliable historical records and annotations

reveal which those are. It follows The AOU checklist as of Aug. 2018, supplement #59 in

nomenclature and sequence. Latin names are not included for space saving reasons as the

English names are standard and as used by AOU and Texas Ornithological Society (TOS)

Basic Format: The basic format includes four season designations and a legend indicating

probability of encountering the species in a full day’s effort in appropriate habitat. The

probability status of each species is not definitive and varies year to year.

Seasons: Sp = spring -- generally March, April, and May, including residents and transit migrants on

northward passage.

Su = summer -- generally June, July, and August: summer residents but also used for

breeding species that may arrive earlier or depart later.

Fa = fall -- generally September, October, and November, including residents and transit

migrants on southward passage.

Wi = winter -- generally December, January, and February: winter residents but also used for

species that over-winter which may arrive earlier or depart later.

Probability Legend: The probability of being encountered (as distinct from “abundance”) in a

full day’s effort in the appropriate habitat and in the proper season-of-occurrence is indicated as

such:

C= common: to be expected on an outing.

F= fairly common: should be seen from 1/2 or more of outings.

U= uncommon: expected to be seen on less than 1/2 of outings.

R= rare: though usually seen annually is not expected to be seen on a given outing.

V= very rare or vagrant: is so unexpected it needs convincing documentation.

2

Species Status (these appear to the right side of the species’ name):

n = species that are known to nest and breed in the county.

o = bred historically in old records.

l = species that are very local even in appropriate habitat in their occurrence in the county.

i = irruptive or invasion species that in some years may be much more common than

expected and in other years may be absent.

h = hypothetical in that although it was well observed and described and accepted by

the Bexar County Bird Records Committee (BCBRC), it was seen by only one observer

(or two or more observers in the same party) and is without confirming evidence such as

specimen, photograph, or recording. Included here are old published records by reliable

ornithologists.

p = pending: acceptance pending review by TBRC.

u= uncertain status in that species was seen by an observer without confirming evidence but

is not an unexpected species.

Discovery of Dead Birds: If a dead bird is discovered in good condition, do the following.

Make a cone out of newspaper and insert it head first. Place it in the freezer with accompanying

collection data: time, place, date, etc. Contact Gary Voelker, Curator of Birds, Biodiversity

Research and Teaching Collection (formerly Texas Cooperative Wildlife Collection) Tel: 979-

845-5288; email gvoelker@tamu.edu

Reporting Species listed as “V” or not on the list: Reports should be made to the San Antonio

Audubon Society (SAAS) via the website (www.saaudubon.org). Indicate when and where the

bird was seen with any details that would help others find it. Please mention any field marks

and/or behaviors used to make the identification and include any photos and /or recording you

obtained. Also please give your name and contact information. Members of SATXbirds listserv

should make the report to the list at satxbirds@yahoogroups.com.

eBird: BCBRC members receive most reports of “V” species incidentally when we see them on

eBird. This is of value to us, but only if we can contact you for further information. Our contact

info is available on the SAAS website.

Reporting forms: Though we currently have no specific reporting forms, we refer you to TOS’s

BRC (Bird Record Committee) as essentially all species demanding documentation via reporting

forms are also of value to the State BRC. We beseech that you include a note asking them to

notify the Bexar County BRC of your report.

Acknowledgements: This checklist was put in final form by the SAAS checklist committee:

Dodge Engleman (chairman of the Committee and BCBRC), Georgina Schwartz, Sheridan

Coffey, Bob Doe, Helen Rejzek, and Keith Bartels.
