In preparation for the 2007/2008 winter list, I've added a column for the 2007/2008 season to the NB Winter Bird List table. I've also created a new Update Page (this page) for the 2007/2008 season and placed a link to last years Updates (probably of no use to anybody, but I figured I'd leave it there in case anybody wanted to see it) While preparing my spreadsheet for the 2007/2008 winter (I still use my spreadsheet to calculate all the totals) I noticed that my cumulative totals were off for a few years but all my yearly totals matched the website. That's when I remembered that David Christie had sent me a correction for the winter of 1999/2000. I had included Black-headed Grosbeak for 1999/2000 and he informed me it was actually a Rose-breasted Grosbeak that had been seen that winter. This meant that Rose-breasted Grosbeak was first added to the winter list in the 1999/2000 winter rather than the 2003/2004 winter, increasing the cumulative totals by one from 1999/2000 to 2002/2003 which accounted for the discrepancy. |
