MONTREAL CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT

Here are the preliminary results from the Montreal Xmas Bird Count held yesterday, December 18, 2010.

My heartfelt thanks to all who participated this year.

Please note that feeder-watcher results will be added, and waterbird and raptor totals may be adjusted slightly downward when they are examined for double-counting.

Count week totals for December 19, 20 and 21 may also add a few species.

Additional details on the count and on uncommon species will be provided in the final report.
