The 2001 Christmas Bird Count is a Great Success
The results are in, and the 2001 Audubon Christmas
Bird Count in the Pittsburgh South Hills Circle is a great success. The
reports show that more than 11,000 birds were counted representing 62
species. This is a 40% increase over last year's count.
This year, more than 70 birders participated in
the count. This includes a class of 20 biology students from Mt.
Lebanon High School who counted birds in Bird Park, a municipal park in
Mt. Lebanon, PA.
This table shows a tabulation of the Pittsburgh
South Hills Circle count. When available, additional information about
the local count and links to the overall National Audubon Society count
will be published here.
