Hi all -
Here’s the first bi-monthly update of the 2025 county year list project. We’re received updates from almost all county compilers to get a snapshot of the birds seen in WA in the first two months of the year.
The state total [263] was one lower than the total last year [2024], but 14 above the 2023 total at this point.
Overall, I think we are pretty much right in line with last year at this point - perhaps some of the highlight birds so far would be the Whooper Swan in Whatcom County, the Arctic Loon in Clallam County, and the Summer Tanager in King County.
The Western WA total [233] came in three higher than last year, and 11 higher than 2023
The Eastern WA total [203] was also three higher than last year’s total, 12 higher than 2023.
22 counties are coming in higher than they were at this point last year.
If you'd like to take a look at where things stand, the list and many other interesting files are at the Washington Birder website:
