Arkansas Bird Records Database

Since the publication of Arkansas birds: their distribution and abundance by Douglas A. James and Joseph C. Neal in 1986 (Univ. of Arkansas Press, Fayetteville; ISBN: 0-938626-38-8 many species not seen previously have occurred in the State. Records from the files of the Arkansas Audubon Society were summarized in the above publication.  Since 1986 there have been more than 12,900 significant records contributed to this file. The AAS recognized that this wealth of new information has amassed and is of interest to the birding and ornithological community in Arkansas, and elsewhere. With this in mind the AAS initiated the entry of the post-1986 bird record data into a searchable database for access to anyone interested. Funding for data entry was provided, in part, by a generous donation from Eleanor Lincoln Johnson of Fayetteville. Interested people should refer to the publication mentioned above for records prior to 1986.

The resulting compilation of Arkansas bird record data for the period 1986-Nov. 30, 2011 is contained in the database. Questions or corrections to the database can be sent to the AAS Curator and Chair of the Arkansas Bird Records Committee at   dickbaxter100@gmail.com    When using these data for research, publications, or other works we request that the source be attributed to the AAS.  We suggest the following citation for this database:
