Hello, The only relevant research paper that I can think of using bird club-related data is this one:
Butler, C. J. 2003. The disproportionate effect of global warming on the arrival dates of short-distance migratory birds in North America. Ibis 145:484–495. that made use of the weekly readings of the lists to look at long-term changes in arrival dates of migrants in spring into Ithaca (a second data set of a similar type was also used in the paper from MA, if I remember). While the paper doesn't talk about changes in abundance, the climate-related link is via changes in timing of migration.

A good overview of the book. Here is a link to the pdf page. http://www.tompkinshosting.com/tompkinsweekly/TompkinsWeekly120409.pdf Also, she had emailed me with the following request which I forward in the event that someone may wish to help her with this. I am reluctant to just give out names of people to her without some expression of interest beforehand. If anyone does want to take this on, please email me and I will put you in touch with her. Now I have another question for you - or maybe I already asked it & we didn't have time to explore: Does anyone in the club have bird count numbers or data that might show whether/how bird populations have changed over past 35 years? Am working on something re: climate change & bird range expansion or northward expansion.... ~Sue Thanks in advance if you can help out.
