Checklist of the Birds of Pendleton Community Park,
including the residential area along McKay Creek
from SW Quinney to Kirk Ave., SW 37^th to the top of west side hill.
Pendleton, OR

The checklist has been compiled over a three-year period and shows 84 species, including 11 species which have been sighted once.

C = CERTAIN - species will be seen and/or heard by an alert observer
NC = NEARLY CERTAIN - species are present and usually seen, but could be infrequently missed
OF = OFTEN FOUND - species are almost certain to be present every day but could be missed due to their low numbers
CF = OCCASIONALLY FOUND - species occur regularly but can be difficult to find due to low numbers or secretive behavior. Some of these species may not be present every day.
IV = INFREQUENT VISITOR - species do not occur in this area on regular basis and are found in low numbers when they do. If lucky, the observer might see one.
N = NOCTURNAL - species are probably present but are active at night, and the observer is unlikely to see them during a mourning walk.
