Alan et al,
The reason I've done nearly ALL of Oregon's Christmas Bird Counts is because
I ENJOY doing them. I enjoy meeting new people, visiting new locales,
seeing how each location does it. It's the camaraderie, the competition,
the challenge of finding a Virginia Rail in the snow, or pulling out a
Harris' Sparrow.
And it's the chili afterward.
Data? I'll let someone else argue about that.
dBird doesn't follow the same protocol in the same place with a lot of the
same people looking for the same birds for the last two score of years...and
following those who did it for a couple lifetimes before we ever started...

Query: In the era of ebird, with vast piles of winter bird distribution data
available, has the Christmas Bird Count run its natural life span?
Discuss.
