[Tweeters] Seattle Christmas Bird Count 18 Dec 2022 - summary of results

[Tom Benedict]

> Record high counts

> For the modern period (1972-present), high counts were recorded for eight species. We set or tied record highs for: Cackling Goose [703], Black Oystercatcher [2], Bald Eagle [163], Red-tailed Hawk [55], Peregrine Falcon [17], Townsend’s Solitaire [3], Swamp Sparrow [1], and White-throated Sparrow [8].


163 Bald Eagles!! That’s astounding. I had no idea there were that many around here. Any speculation on how many of those are breeding?
