[CT Birds] Big January Lists - Final Results

[streatham2003 at aol.com]

Hi All,



?



So I know that all of you have been waiting with baited
breath for the final results of the count. Congratulations to everyone who took
part. I hope you all had a fun time getting out and tracking down the birds
which is really the object of the exercise. I thought I'd let you know I held off on the temptation to have a little joke and put myself at the top of the pile with
one more species than this years winner (I thought it people might not see the funny side). Anyway I have hope the formatting doesn't
turn out to weirdly - I have gone for the dense ranking strategy as I am too
stupid to work out anything else this evening. Anyway here are the results in order....drum roll
please.........

1. Mardi Dickinson 158



2. Meredith Sampson 140



3. Annette Cunniffe 137

Stamford)



20. Angela Dimmitt 99



21. Olive Wysocki 97



22. Jan Collins 91

23. Richard Becker 90

So there you go until next year, well done to all. It takes a lot of hard work I remember from previous years. Looks like the boys will have to try harder next year with not one in the top 3!!! Out of interest Dave Provencher's January list of 167 species missed off 4 species seen by at least one of our participants (it is a 'competition' after all) so the total list for January should be 171 species seen in CT during the month.. Additional species were: Golden Eagle, Lesser Yellowlegs, Western Sandpiper and House Wren.

Regards,

Luke Tiller
