2008 Christmas Bird Count Results

Here are the results from the most recent Edmonton Christmas Bird Count.

Overall, the numbers are a bit down from previous years, most likely largely due to the extremely cold weather on count day (the minimum temperature was -36 degrees!) There were 119 participants and they reported 49 species.

Click here to download a copy of the data you can print off, or you can go to the Audubon Society’s website to download the raw data, view previous years’ data, or check the results from other count circles. (Interesting fact from that website: there were 56,363,060 (!) birds counted in 1,402 count circles across North America)
