* Relative Abundances were based on the following criteria: Abundant (seen daily); Common (seen multiple times per week); Uncommon (seen once per week); Rare (seen multiple times per month); Occasional (seen one to few times per month). ** Study site was split into four quadrants. Maps generally depict where preferred habitat is located or where specific species have been seen more than once even if not in preferred habitat. Grassland (G) habitat also includes forest/open area ecotones. Aerial (A) describes species likely to be seen flying overhead in addition to their preferred habitat. *** Accidental species were reported only one time within the study site and are not typical of this area.
