Christmas Bird Count Editorial Codes and Database FlagsTwo-letter codes are often used by regional editors to better explain or question agiven record. Database flags can be set by compilers and regional editors to indicatean unusual species, high count, or low count. This list will aid you in decipheringthe keys when reading accounts in the summaries and on the web site.

Database flagsUS = Unusual speciesHC = Unusually high countLC = Low count

THE 106TH CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT AMERICAN BIRDS 123

Various weather patterns again influ-enced results of individual counts, buttotal species reported by state was verysimilar to last year despite some periodsof severe weather on both the Pacific andGulf coasts. In all, 652 species werereported, with 47 being all-time highs(boldfaced numerals). An additional 35infraspecific forms were reported, alongwith 25 exotic species. Baikal Teal andRedwing were new for United StatesChristmas Bird Counts. Overall, 42states and 313 CBCs had at least onenational high.

A significant proportion of the speciesreported here are represented in verysmall numbers—20 percent of thespecies have 10 or fewer birds, and 6 per-cent have only one bird. It would be easyto speculate how weather, numbers andskills of observers, access to key habitats,etc. influence results, but at the end ofthe CBC season most species are foundnationally, and the year-end tally doesnot vary greatly from year to year.

However, the bird-finding factorsmentioned above can have great influ-ences on the success of individual counts.This season Matagorda County-MadIsland Marsh, Texas, led the nation forthe fifth year in a row (8 out of the last10 CBC seasons) with the highest countsof 30 species and one infraspecific form.Waipi’o, HI, came in second, with 14species and one form, followed by Portal,AZ, with 12 species. Waimea, HI, had11 species and one form; Zellwood-Mount Dora, FL, and Laysan Island, HI,had 11 species each; Tucson Valley, AZ,Point Reyes Pen., CA, and GuadalupeRiver Delta-McFaddin Family Ranchesand Weslaco, TX, had nine species each.Carefree and Patagonia, AZ, along withCalifornia’s Monterey Peninsula, RanchoSanta Fe, Santa Cruz County, and SanDiego, as well as Midway Atoll, HI, hadseven species each. The remainder of theCBCs had six or fewer national highs.

California reclaimed its normal firstplace in the states with 123 species and

seven infraspecific forms. Texas came in aclose second with 119 species and twoforms, followed by Florida with 82 speciesand two forms. The Hawaiian Islandshad 66 species and five forms, Arizonahad 64 species and three forms, Alaskahad 31 species and one form, Washingtonhad 19 species and two forms,Massachusetts had 18 species, Virginiahad 12 species, New Mexico and Oregoneach had 11 species, and Louisiana andMinnesota had 10 species. All otherstates had nine or fewer national highs.

Only counts for resident species, infra-specific forms, and exotics that do nothave editorial comments questioning thevalidity of the results were accepted forthis report. High counts for exotics with-out known established populations aredisplayed, but are added to results forCBC or state. If I make a mistake withthis review of the 106th CBC, please letme know, and I will include correctionsnext year at the end of the column.
