The 108th CBC, December 14th 2007 to January 5th 2008
Counters persevere in the face of bad weather across the Continent
Despite difficult weather in many regions of North America, Christmas Bird Count participants took to the field from 14 December through 5 January, and the 108th CBC is now heading toward the record books. Compilers have until mid-February to complete their data entry, and in the meantime you can peruse the results of counts as they are completed via the Current Year's Results report.
It will be a very interesting season; while weather negatively likely impacted results some areas, counters still were able to find interesting species in record numbers in other regions. And a significant movement of "winter finches" southward from the boreal forests of the north is under way this season, to be tracked in its early stages by the 108th Count.
As well as keeping an eye on the Current Year's Results as they develop, we also invite you to use historical results tools on the CBC Web site to peruse detailed bird results over the past century. Or you can take a look at reports from earlier seasons in Christmas Bird Count issues of American Birds in the "Annual Summaries" section below.
And don't forget to check out the CBC Photo Galleries to see birds spotted in various CBC counts.
