Pullman-Moscow Count, Saturday, December 16, 2000

Here are the final results for the Moscow, Idaho - Pullman, Washington Christmas Bird Count.  The 61 species ties three earlier counts for the third highest species total in the history of this count.  The 9,270 individual birds tallied is the second highest total. This is quite amazing in light of the severe weather with 60 mph winds and snow the day prior to the count, followed by winds most of the day and blowing and drifting snow during the morning of count day.  Although there were no new species, the 588 Gray Partridge, 249 Red-tail Hawks and 58 Wild Turkeys are significant record high counts for these species. - Dave Holick, Compiler, Moscow ID
