It used to be, but is not so anymore, that IIF() was slower than
cfifcfelse/cfif.
It also used to be true, although I don't think it is any more, that all
of the expressions in an IIF() are evaluated even if not used. Not true
of cfif.
I know in older versions this would cause an error:
IIF() is shorthand replacement for IF/THEN/ELSE. Other langs have
IIF() too, eh?
Thus
cfif foo IS 5
foo is 5
cfelse
foo is not 5
/cfif
is equivalent to
IIF(foo IS 5, 'foo is 5', 'foo is not 5')
*note...mind the quotes! ' is double quote followed by single quote

I think you've got the SUM and IIF nested the wrony way 'round - try
SUM(IIF(site_date {d '2000-04-27'}, totalbirds, 0))

I usually see the query coded as:
AND site_date #date1#
AND site_date #now()#
Primitive I know, but tried and true :-)

Thanks, John, but that's not really the problem, I don't think.
The query works if I use constants like this.
cfquery name="pullcount" datasource="#dbvar#"
SELECT IIF(10, sum(totalbirds), 0) AS weekbirds,
IIF(10, sum(totalbirds), 0) AS monthbirds,
IIF(10, sum(totalbirds), 0)AS yearbirds,
sighting, site, person WHERE sighting.site_id = site.site_id AND
site.per_id = person.per_id GROUP BY site.per_id, person.fname,
person.lname
