List Definitions

Iowa State Life List

List of all bird species seen in the state of Iowa and conforming to the listing standards.

Personally Found List

A subset of the Iowa State Life List in which species were personally found by the lister. "Personally found" means the lister found the representative bird with no prior knowledge, current or historical, of its presence. This list differs from all other IOU listing categories since, in other categories, a bird initially found by others may be counted on those lists.

Pct Personally Found/Personal State List

The percentage of Iowa birds found by the individual without having prior knowledge of the species location.

Yard List

List of birds seen in or from the personal residence of the lister. A bird counts if it is seen on the property even though the observer may not have been on the property at the time, or if the bird is seen anywhere (e.g. in the sky) while the observer is present on the property. The totals in this category are difficult to compare, since not all properties are equal.

County Listing

List of species recorded all time within a county.

Annual State List

List of birds seen in the calendar year.

Top Birders List *

For those who submitted an annual Iowa list, what percentage of the life list was seen in the year?

Annual Yard List

A subset of your yard list but recorded in the calendar year.

Biking Big Year

Count of birds recorded while on a bicycle.

Heard Bird Big Year

Must identify the bird by hearing a recognizable sound produced by the bird –song, call, drumming, etc. Many of the birds were also seen and identified visually, but you must be able to answer this question affirmatively: “Would I have identified this bird without seeing it?” Cannot use playback or vocal mimicry to elicit a response from a bird. Birds can be counted even if they are not identified to species, provided no other members of that group are counted. For example, you may count Snow/Ross’s Goose, gull species, hummingbird species, and longspur species as long as you do not have an identifiable gull, hummingbird, longspur, etc.
