NESTUCCA BAY
National Wildlife Refuge
Bird Abundance Chart
and Checklist
Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge was
established in 1991 to protect wintering habitat
for geese as well as diverse coastal wetlands
and forest for migratory waterfowl, shorebirds
and anadromous fish.
Species abundance data for
development of this checklist
encompasses all units of
Nestucca Bay National
Wildlife Refuge including
Neskowin Marsh.
Species Abundance Code Legend
ABUNDANT: Occurs in moderate to large numbers, and
easily found in appropriate habitat at the right time of year.
COMMON: Occurs in small to moderate numbers, and
usually easy to find in appropriate habitat at the right time of
year.
FAIRLY COMMON: Occurs in small numbers, and
usually—but not always—found with some effort in
appropriate habitat at the right time of year.
UNCOMMON: Occurs annually in very small numbers. Not
to be expected on any given day, but may be found with
extended effort over the course of the appropriate
season(s).
RARE: Occurs less than annually, but there tends to be a
pattern over time at the right time of year in appropriate
habitat.
ACCIDENTAL: Represents an exceptional occurrence that
might not be repeated again for decades.
IRREGULAR: Represents an irruptive species whose
numbers are highly variable from year to year. There may
be small to even large numbers present in one year, while in
another year it may be absent altogether.
