Hi Folks,
Wow, it has been a busy December and early 2015 for me! Thanks to Jeannie
Pollock's diligent effort, we have some CBC data we can look at. I have
taken her spreadsheet and formatted it in several different ways for those
of you/us who are interested in looking at bird numbers for all the Team
Areas and the count as a whole. You can access these and other stuff at
www.umpquabirds.org/cbc, go down to "ARCHIVES FOR COUNT #115..." box, at
the bottom where it says "Summary of Bird Numbers by Area sorted by:" and
click on the one or more that you want to look at (I recommend all three).
It is fun to look at the differently sorted bird numbers. Can you guess the
3 or 5 or 10 most numerous species found on the CBC? Can you guess how
many species were found by every single team (all 15 areas) on the count,
and which species they were? How about how many species that were found by
only one team? Which species would you expect to be widespread (found in
many team areas), but in low numbers? Which species would you expect to be
very local (in just a few team areas), but in high numbers where they are
found?
Find out all this and more by checking out the archived reports at
www.umpquabirds.org/cbc.
If you participated in the CBC, please check the species lists for your
team's area and if you see something missing or incorrect, please let me
know.
Total 120 species for entire circle (previous high count was 117), plus 5
species during count week. Team Area species totals ranged from 34 to 73.
Total of 23,951 individual birds, ranging from 444 to 2868 by Area. We had
15 field teams and two feeder counters, totaling 38 people. YOU ALL DID A
GREAT JOB! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR!
In the mean time, watch out for Condors....
Matt
