Hello everyone

Well we had another very successful GBBC. There was some concern we would fall far short of our species total, but we pulled a proverbial rabbit out of our collective hats and ended up with 62 species, only 4 short of our 2007 record of 66 species. We were well covered for province, and am very very pleased with the participation this year. We had some nice highlights which saw Saskatoon capture the Bohemian Waxing capital of the galaxy, we ended up with over 11,000 individuals, including 2 flocks of 4000 and 1500 respectively. Common redpoll numbers were above average, and Evening Grosbeaks…well they staged one of their best appearances in recent memory, nice to see. We ended up with 144 Eurasian Collared-doves, but some most likely some were counted several times of the weekend, but other locations where they are known to be did not report.

It was a great weekend and am looking forward to next years count

Can anyone tell me who to send a note to regarding species being taken off our checklist without further contact with the sighters. This species was included and confirmed on the list submitted, but when I go to the state total, two of the species spotted are no longer on the list. I am in Missouri, USA. Thanks Ann
