Trumpeter Swans by Donna Lewis, Ontario, Canada, 2017 GBBC.
Thank You For the Biggest GBBC Ever
Once again participants from around the world set new records for the number of
species identified during the four days of the Great Backyard Bird Count, for
the number of checklists submitted, and the number of estimated participants.
These numbers are based on totals taken on the afternoon of March 3 and they
are impressive. The amount of increase is based on a comparison to 2016 count
figures:
Total checklists: 173,826 (2016 final total: 162,052)
Total species: 5,940 (2016 final total: 5,689 )
Estimated participants: 214,018 (2016 final total estimate: 163,763)
Here's how the Top 10 states performed, followed by the Top 10 provinces in
Canada. An asterisk denotes a new state or province checklist record.
