of the
"ABA Area" will be used. Thus, the ABA Area encompassed "the 49
continental states of the US plus Hawaii, Canada, the French islands
of St. Pierre and Miquelon (which will add numerous birds to most
totals), the adjacent waters to a distance of 200 nautical miles from
land or half the distance to a neighboring country, whichever is less.
Excluded by these boundaries are Bermuda, the Bahamas, and Greenland."
Participation in submitting this total is limited to those who have a
claim to at least part time residence in Wisconsin.
4. 2022 BIGBY Total (sometimes called a Green Year) with a threshold
of 100.
This number is the total of species seen by selecting a center point
(most likely your residence) and then noting all the birds found when
walking, biking, canoeing, etc. from this central location. Any
species found with the aid of a motorized form of transportation are
not countable.
5. County Life Totals (threshold 125). For any county in which one
has found
125 or more species, enter the name of the county followed by the
number of species found.
