Current List of Species Recorded during the Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas II
CURRENT OHIO BREEDING BIRD ATLAS II RESULTS
CLICK HERE for the current OBBA2 Species List
The purpose of this checklist is to keep a running tally of ALL species of birds that have been confirmed as nesting during the Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas II (2006-2010) as well as species that have been reported but without definitive nesting evidence. Several species on this list may never be documented as nesting during the Atlas period. However, their inclusion is important in order to demonstrate that many unlikely nesting species are still possible and in some cases have had an historical breeding presence.

Please note that this checklist is a representation of all observations submitted to the Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas II and certain records gleaned from a variety of ornithological resources on Ohio’s birds. This list will undergo regular revisions and is not necessarily a direct reflection ultimately of what will be published in the Atlas publication.
This list highlights many species with few records for the Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas II and indicates whether or not they are confirmed as nesting. Please review this list carefully and contact us with any information about new species to add to our database or observations of species new to a given area. Feel free to enter these observations through our data entry website or contact us if you need help determining the applicable Atlas block location or hardcopy forms to submit observations via mail.
