CBC Results Take Time

Entering the data from 27 areas will take some time. I expect to have final numbers in a couple weeks. It's looking like our species total will be 153, as a Common Merganser was added after the countdown. And we did have a record high number of Vermilion Flycatchers at 178!

Next year's day will be either Sunday, December 15 or Monday the 16th. I'll be polling people to see how many would be affected by having it on a weekday, but it would be nice to have a day of rest for those who want to do the Santa Catalinas CBC, which has always been on the first Saturday of the period.

The Mount Kimball Hike was a fun challenge and a beautiful hike. I think I already have people lined up to do it next year.
