2007 Checklist

The checklist of expected birds for 2007 was put together by David Suddjian, Santa Cruz County Recorder, and Clay Kempf, Festival Program Chairman.

Birds marked with an X were seen during at least one of the 2007 Festival trips.

The last group of birds on the list are species seen during the Festival that were not on the list of reasonably expected birds.

The list includes 220 total species, as well as some interesting mammals and other creatures.
