Thanks to everyone who submitted a checklist!
You helped make the tenth annual count a success. Checklists flooded into the count at an unprecedented rate, breaking records for most checklists submitted in one hour (1,944), and breaking the all-time GBBC record of 61,049! We have been amazed by the response of participants from around the United States and Canada. Thank you for your show of support for the birds, and for your help in documenting their numbers and whereabouts for the historical record.
We invite your to read highlights from 2007, check out the online photo gallery, and explore more results on your own.
