JB Owen kept a list but I don't know of any current efforts.
The eBird list is probably a good start and fairly representative of
recent birds found in Knox Co. Just took a quick look and noticed several
omissions, some recent, more historic. Assuming the list total Carole
gave doesn't double count things that are on the list like Accipiter sp.,
duck sp., etc., I would add at least another 30+ birds to that.
A few ommissions (some glaring) from the eBird list (again, I just did a
quick look, and, ok, a quick flip through Robinson's book)
Mute Swan (some have been considered 'countable')
Black Scoter
Red-throated Loon (as recent as this past winter)
Glossy Ibis
Wood Stork
Mississippi Kite
Rough-legged Hawk
Common Gallinule
King Rail
Black-bellied Plover
American Avocet
Willet
Western Sandpiper
Long-billed Dowitcher
Red-necked Phalarope
Franklin's Gull
Glaucous Gull
Black-legged Kittiwake
Least Tern
Sooty Tern
Short-eared Owl
Alder Flycatcher
Vermillion Flycatcher
Townsend's Solitaire
Townsend's Warbler
Kirtland's Warbler
Black-headed Grosbeak
Painted Bunting (multiple recent)
LeConte's Sparrow
Nelson's Sparrow
Henslow's Sparrow
Western Meadowlark
There are a few others that I think should be on the list but I don't know
records for off-hand.
