| Orange County Spring Count |
| ~ Organization of Count ~ |
| |
Two people were instrumental in organizing this event; without them, the Orange County Spring Count would never have materialized into the successful event it became. They set it up to correspond with International Migratory Bird Day which takes place on the 2nd Saturday in May, but changed the name to reflect the fact that the count would only be done here in Orange County and would encompass all birds seen and/or heard, not just those that were migratory. Al Baumann did the promotional part – naming the event, setting the date, writing the articles for our newsletter & webpage which explained how the count would be run, and promoting it at our chapter meetings. Steve Alter listed the areas to be counted, organized the birders to cover the birding areas, set up the count sheets which the birders filled out and sent in to him by email, collected the data, and compiled the count. He also entered the count data into eBird. |

Steve entered the count data on to a large Excel spreadsheet which shows all of the bird species and areas covered. Because the spreadsheet is so large — with 69 locations (columns) and 208 bird species — I have divided it into 6 groups; this will enable you to look up the locations and species more easily. I have also posted a copy of the Excel spreadsheet as a whole.
All the count data is in pdf format.
