Fifty people participated in today’s Big Sit! at Chatfield. The weather was wonderful and we collectively recorded 56 species of birds in a single location in almost 14 hours!
In addition to birders attending we had a few bicyclists (very interested in getting into birding), a family with a special needs son (he was really excited to see an American White Pelican through a scope), even a few VERY young, soon-to-be birders…someday!
We kept track of species hourly and generated 13 checklists. The first checklist is a “complete” checklist with species and numbers of individuals. Subsequent checklists ONLY list new species for the day and/or new individuals not counted on prior checklists. Thus, the total number of individuals per species when summed up is correct in the trip report found at the link below.

A thank you to all that attended today.
