Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Christmas Bird Count spreadsheet
FYI, here's the link to the 2025 count spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Lry_LYPTgPD-bZ6JV4bSIUzxJPl-GPsi1dV32CJ-Srs/edit?usp=sharing
.

We just had the compilation meeting. Key takeaways included
- 81 species so far
- We smashed the record high for American Robins - 3689! The previous
record high was 698 in 2002
- Overall totals were low. The consensus is that the bad weather
suppressed observations, despite effort similar to recent years.
- We may have new records for Bald Eagle and Double-crested Cormorant.
We'll know better once we've scrutinized the data.
- House Sparrows may be on the decline. We had a record low of 129; the
previous record low was 308 in 2019.

Of course all this data is subject to change.

Thanks to Jared Dawson for presenting.

-Paul
