Annual
Winter
Bird Count, 1990-1999, Project
Director: John W. Fitzpatrick,
Cornell University During 1990-1999, 10 annual Winter Bird Counts (WBC) were conducted in mid-January, on 4800 acres of Archbold’s main property (but excluding the southeastern-most Hicoria Tract), using National Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count (CBC) methods. The effort was to count all birds at the Station. The WBCs gave us a good assessment of Archbold’s winter bird community and a better understanding of species population trends and relative abundance. The Archbold data can be compared with the adjacent and overlapping Lake Placid CBC, conducted during the same years in late December, and with many other Florida CBCs. Tables 1,2,& 3, below, were compiled by Fred Lohrer in February 1999. See Archbold's Biennial Report 1999-2000 for some preliminary analysis of the count data.
