2019 crowsnest pass Spring Bird count summary
Report prepared by Pat Lucas
Thank you to our volunteers for participating in the Crowsnest Pass’ 14th annual spring count. In the two days of the count we found 143 bird species in our area and had some fun doing it. 143 species is the highest number we have had in 14 years of spring counts.
The data we have collected will be shared with Nature Alberta as usual. Most importantly though, we have a goal to get the majority of our lists into eBird (description below). This year virtually all our data is there and therefore we have contributed valuable information to the eBird database for the purposes of science and conservation.
eBird began with a simple idea - that every birdwatcher has unique knowledge and experience. Our goal is to gather his information in the form of checklists of birds, archive it, and freely share it to power new data-driven approaches to science, conservation and education. At the same time, we develop tools that make birding more rewarding. From being able to manage lists, photos and audio recordings, to seeing real-time maps of species distribution, to alerts that let you know when species have been seen, we strive to provide the most current and useful information to the birding community.
eBird is worldwide & the world's largest biodiversity-related citizen science project with more than 100 million bird sightings contributed each year by eBirders around the world. A collaborative enterprise with hundreds of partner organizations, thousands of regional experts, and hundreds of thousands of users, eBird is managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
