Happy New Year to everyone! As many of you already know, we had the compilation meeting on January 2nd. Below is a summary of the results. Anyone who wants to see the full gory details can look at the spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1idhZGODnoTHzDGT80ELsBKWU8JOd2MY6x25fvSXYlq0/edit?usp=sharing .
Caveat: we're still working on this, so some of the numbers will change, mostly those that involve birds seen on the lake. 161 people spent 360 hours covering about 600 miles of ground. 97 species on the day. So far there are these count week species: Ross's Goose, Wood Duck, Fish Crow. There were no significant rarities. High counts: Gadwall, Wigeon, Lesser Scaup, Ruddy Duck, Common Loon, Red-necked Grebe, Black Vulture, Turkey Vulture, Cooper's Hawk, Bald Eagle, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Peregrine Falcon, Common Raven, Hermit Thrush. No record low counts, although the House Sparrow count was almost there. 41,181 individual birds. Thanks to everyone who helped, especially the area leaders, Stephanie, and Matt. Also thanks to Kevin and Jay for furnishing photos used in the presentation. -Paul -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
