Prospect Year 2010 summary

After finally catching up with the backlog of numerous bird reports received from Prospect birders into the office bird records database , the 2010 year tally for species is done. Note the species alphabetically is the first sighting for 2010 (flagged on the database as "FOY") , location (if specifically denoted by observer) , and date followed by the # individuals. Some sightings on the latter may show a number 1+ ( used for common species). Note there is a discrepancy with EBIRD number, which is not a reliable tool that does not filter suspect or dubious sightings.

Overall, the total was 193 species. A little down from the average 196.It depends on the rarity good year or so so year but there were quite a number of very good birds in 2010 ( I noted in red or purple for high quality -RARE- and lesser quality, ambiguously).
