I guess I am too much of a numbers guy. But here are the number of counts in Texas that have been announced for each day this year. Maybe this will help those who have not yet set the date for their count to pick the date. 12/15 - 2 counts 12/16 - none 12/17 - 1 count 12/18 - 3 counts 12/19 - 1 count 12/20 - 12 counts 12/21 - 1 count 12/22 - 0 counts 12/23 - 1 count 12/24-25 - none 12/26 - 1 count 12/27 - 5 counts 12/28 - 1 count 12/29 - 0 count 12/30 - 3 counts 12/31 - 0 counts 1/1 - 4 counts 1/2 - 2 counts 1/3 - 5 counts 1/4 - none 1/5 - 1 count The Houston Audubon website maintains a list of Texas counts <http://www.houstonaudubon.org/default.aspx?MenuItemID=1105&MenuGroup=CBC#txkv>. So when you schedule your bird count, be sure to send an email to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the information on your count.
