Hi All,

With apologies for its lateness (but nevertheless timely with the 118th CBC
about to start!), here is the summary for Idaho’s CBC during the last
period –
https://idahobirds.net/birding-idaho/resources-and-links/christmas-bird-counts/.
Perhaps reading over this will get Idaho birders excited and thinking about
the upcoming counts. It seemed like the frigid weather was the highlight of
many Idaho counts but even with a general lack of exciting bird phenomena
last winter, there was plenty of interest for birders as you will see in
the summary. The overall CBC summary and other regional summaries,
including from surrounding states (and Idaho eventually), can be found here
http://www.audubon.org/summary-117th-christmas-bird-count-2016-2017. Thanks
to Stoddard Davenport for help reviewing southern Idaho CBC’s and for
really helpful formatting of the CBC summary data. Also thanks to Lisa
Weisse for publishing the summary on the idahobirds.net web site.

Charles.
