[cobirds] Results of today's DFO "Big Sit!" at Chatfield Reservoir

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.
