Hi Matt,
Great job of organizing the CBC this year and thanks for inviting me over. I
love playing with numbers (thanks for putting those togetherJeannie) and
enjoyed myself despite the almost continuous rain. That was a great photo of
the flooding river where we were standing at the Smith's house the day
before. Needless to say we had plenty of flooding over here in the Coquille
Valley. I'm glad the Common loon stayed around for us but we never saw any
Pied-billed grebes (saw several the week before) or Mallards (2 the week
before). Wish we had seen the Golden eagle that Joe saw in our area but
maybe next year.
Rick

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
