Checklist: Bent County Checklist
Introduction: This is not just another square shaped eastern plains county. Bent County is arguably the best of the counties east of the mountains in both variety and quality of species that breed, migrate through, or winter here. For example, over 20 and sometimes over 30 species of warblers occur in the county every year, Greater Roadrunners and Black Rails breed within a couple of miles of each other, and just about every species of shorebird, wader, and waterbird that has been seen in the state has been seen somewhere in the county.
