HI folks,
I thought I'd have a little fun with some of you range map and
habitat geeks. Get out your copy of Stupka's and Alsop's and
Nicholson's books and see if who can come the closest on guessing
what the top birds were on my BBS route today, in terms of number of
individuals, and number of stops they were seen/heard at.
Here is the route I took: Newfound Gap Road from Sugarlands Visitor
Center to Clingman's Dome Road. Then I drove Balsam/Heintooga.
(Sevier County, TN and western North Carolina). All within Great
Smoky Mountains NP.
For those of you not familiar with Breeding Bird Surveys, the
protocol is to start at 5:48 am (at least for this route) and stop
every 1/2 mile. Get out of the car and look and listen for 3
minutes.
Good luck! I'll post the top guessers. And I'll even let Fred and
Chuck play if they want to.
I promise not to post any answers that are way off...
Charlie
