Hello all, I finished entering all the Madison CBC information today. We finished with 92 species on count day and 93 species for the count (a count week Red-necked Grebe). Species added after the compilation were Red-headed Woodpecker and Pine Siskin. Record High Species were mostly feeder birds and species attracted to the open water on the Madison Lakes : Species 2009 Total Previous Record High/Year Tundra Swan 1433 883/2003 Bald Eagle 39 25/2006 Cooper's Hawk 29 24/2001 Wild Turkey 175 171/2005 Red-bellied Woodpecker 229 187/2009 Downy Woodpecker 386 345/2009 Black-capped Chickadee 1616 1401/2003 Tufted Titmouse 35 28/1958 White-breasted Nuthatch 435 367/2000 Brown Creeper 101 101/1989 Carolina Wren 7 6/2007 Northern Cardinal 902 785/2009 Below is the list from rarest to most common (Red-necked Grebe is omitted).
