Date: 12/8/25 2:06 pm From: Chuck Otte <cotte...> Subject: County Check-lists are updated
The fall update to the county check-lists has been completed. County dot maps and other associated pages are in the process of being updated but it may take another week or two. I will post a message when the dot maps and these associated pages are updated.
These updates are through November 1st so recent additions like the Jefferson County King Eider are not on the lists. That will be in the spring update. As the Kansas Bird Records Committee has yet to have an opportunity to review potential Western Warbling Vireo records all the current Warbling Vireos (which is all 105 counties) were changed to Eastern Warbling Vireos. Once KBRC has reviewed records there will likely be Western Warbling Vireo added to a county or two.
All 105 county check-lists were updated to reflect current taxonomic changes by the American Ornithological Society (AOS) which is the taxonomy that the Kansas Ornithological Society (KOS) follows. All checklists should have a date at the end of the check-list of November 1, 2025.
The following list shows what new records were added in each county. The number following the county name shows the current species now on that county's check-list. Any species name followed by an asterisk (*) indicates a new confirmed breeding record for that species in that county.
As always, if you have any issues accessing the checklists or anything on that page, please let me know!
