2021 Spring Big Day for Virginia Results

I believe I have all the checklists for those that participated in the May 15th Spring Big Day of birding.  It was a gorgeous day for being out birding.  We had 11 participants, and our total species count was 132.  No surprise, the most common birds found were Northern Mockingbird and Northern Cardinal...found by virtually everyone.  However, 40 species were found by only one person/team, and these species represented the full range of nocturnal birds, shorebirds, gulls, and passerines.

 

Hope all participants had fun, and look forward to our next birding adventure.

Fall 2020 "Virtual" Virginia Big Day Results

Leader: Dave Youker

The results are in for our first, virtual Big Day held on 7 Nov.  If you haven't submitted your list, you can still forward it to me.  I was impressed with the number of checklists, the diversity of species, and the resolve of some members to put in some long days birding.  Birds from backyards to seagoing to every habitat in between were identified.  Here are the results:

The weather for the Big Day was very pleasant, except many members had to contend with a heavy fog.  Still, we had an impressive total of 36 club members participate!  A total of 24 checklists were submitted, and the consolidated species list stands at 136!  If anyone is interested in the overall list, I'd be happy to forward it.

 

Thanks to all the members that participated in this club activity.  The feedback has been very positive, so maybe we can do it again next year.

 

Best,

Dave Youker
