The results are in and new counting records have been shattered. Over 93,600 checklists have been tallied, 617 species of birds have been recorded, and over 12,000,000 individual birds have been counted! The count reflected the massive invasion of Pine Siskins and documents the continued decline of once-common species. Pennsylvania submitted the most checklists this year (5,519 lists) and was second for number of individual birds counted (905,097 birds). Erie submitted 82 checklists, placing us third in the state for number of checklists.
The Northern Cardinal is the most reported bird, appearing on over 47,000 checklists across the US and Canada. The Northern Cardinal also is the most frequently listed species out of the 135 species reported in Pennsylvania and out of the 57 species verified in the Erie area.
The following birds were reported on the greatest number of Erie checklists:
