The general consensus for the 2010 May Bird Species Count was that the weather was lousy! There were a number of Counts that didn't happen this year. The number of species was down in 2010: from 280 in ‘09 to 269 this year. Number of individual birds also went down: from 269,851 to 217,140. In 2009, the most numerous species was Franklin's Gull (37,211), second was Canada Goose (13,347) and third was Red-winged Blackbird (13,266). This year, the top three didn’t change, but the numbers dropped: Franklin's Gull (17,360), Canada Goose (12,748) and Red-winged Blackbird (10,878).
