Those who participated in the Great Backyard Bird Count this year may be interested in the information posted at the website. Wichita Falls had 75 species counted over the 4 days, which isn't bad, although not as good as 2010 (which was a record year for us.) You can also tell by looking at previous years' data that more people are participating--this is probably the primary reason the number of species and the number of individuals is increasing.
Next year's GBBC is February 17 - 20, 2012, so block those days on your calendar now. The more people, the more checklists and the better the information.
Good birding!
