Dave, You seem to have unofficially expanded Ithaca CBC to CLB. Dave Nicosia' s most of birds don't count in Ithaca CBC circle. So it is not summary of ICBC.
Cheers PS:Good to be back home! Meena Ithaca Dave Nutter <nutter.d...@me.com> wrote: These are preliminary records. Some may be adjusted. There may be errors. Maybe you can add to the count week list by adding species on Jan 2, 3, or 4 withing the Count Circle (7.5 miles from the intersection of Mt Pleasant & Turkey Hill Rds, also shown on Cayuga Bird Club web site through resources page). Some additions may also be new for 2015 for the Cayuga Lake Basin, while others have already been found outside the count circle. Please report errors, adjustments, or additions.
