Colorado Christmas Bird Count Results

[Brandon K. Percival]

Hi all,

If you are a compiler or participant of any of this winter's Christmas Bird Counts in Colorado, please look over the data on the CBC Website.  http://netapp.audubon.org/CBCObservation/CurrentYear/ResultsByCount.aspx

Sometimes, parts of the results aren't being saved, so there may be missing information, and perhaps incorrect numbers, or missing bird species, or missing observers, or weather or effort data.  Let me know, if anyone finds anything missing, as I can add things, easier than the compilers, it seems.

Compilers who haven't entered their results, you might want to start on that, sooner rather than later, so we can get all the possible corrections taken care of, before the end of February deadline to enter all your data.

If there are species, on your counts, that I marked as DD or ND, please submit details to me, hopefully photos or drawings of these rare birds.  So far none of the reported Chipping and Sagebrush Sparrows, as well as a Black-headed Grosbeak were documented, any will be deleted, if not documented, all are accidental on Colorado CBCs, and are usually misidentified.  There are some other species that are rarely seen in Colorado in winter, that have been reported on a Colorado CBC, so hopefully all these birds can be documented.

 

Thanks to the compilers, observers, and my team of reviewers of rare bird sightings on Colorado CBC, for all your help!
