Local Bird Arrivals and Departures


These are friendly competitions in spotting the first and last appearances of migrants in Adams County (summer and winter residents and migrants passing through) for SMAS members. It is planned to graph this data to see whether trends over time can be observed.

The dates in parentheses are the reports of the first and last dates of birds by anyone, not just SMAS members. The entries in blue are those reports by SMAS members that are also earlier or later than any other reports. Where a name includes '& Co.' this designates a group.

To add your sightings to these tables send details to Mike Bertram at the2nomads@gmail.com or by posting them on eBird.
