Christmas Bird Count Editorial Codes and Database FlagsTwo-letter codes are often used by regional editors to better explain or question agiven record. Database flags can be set by compilers and regional editors to indicatean unusual species, high count, or low count. This list will aid you in decipheringthe keys when reading accounts in the summaries and on the web site.

Database flagsUS = Unusual speciesHC = Unusually high countLC = Low count

THE 107TH CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT AMERICAN BIRDS 123

The 107th Christmas Bird Countstarted for me on the Texas Coast asunseasonably warm with heavy daily fog.Species reports were lower than normalwith fewer reports of lingering neotropi-cal migrants. This lower bird reportingwas evident in more than just coastalTexas, as only 643 species, 41 infraspe-cific forms, and 22 exotics were reportedthis season—nine species fewer than lastyear. Craveri’s Murrelet was added as anew species for CBCs. Four additionalspecies were dropped because of lack ofdetails, and four species were reportedonly during count week. Twenty-threepercent of the highest counts were for 10or fewer birds, with 8 percent being onlyone bird. At times a CBC’s success orfailure depends on how well counterslocate those single individuals of aspecies. This year the top count, CorpusChristi, had 37 species with one indi-vidual, and the second place count,Matagorda County, had 14 species withone individual. Many factors can affect acount’s ability to locate one individual andeither result in a great or mediocre year.

All-time highs were reported for 51species, breaking a few long-standingrecords. The Green Kingfisher recordstood for 32 years until 26 were reportedthis year. Other records broken this yearinclude Clark’s Nutcracker at 281 (36years), Brown-headed Nuthatch at 635(47 years), and Baltimore Oriole at 72(38 years). Gallinaceous species, bitternsthru flamingos, and shorebirds had nonew records and might reflect decliningconditions for these species.

Forty-two states and 329 CBCs had atleast one national high. MatagordaCounty-Mad Island Marsh, TX, led thenation again with highest tallies for 29species and one infraspecific form.Honolulu, HI, had national highs for 17species; Point Reyes Peninsula, CA, for13 species; Salton Sea (south), CA, andZellwood-Mount Dora, FL, for 11species; Portal, AZ, for 10 species andone form; Santa Barbara, CA, French

Frigate Shoals, HI, and Santa Ana, TX,for 10 species; Waimea, HI, andWeslaco, TX, for nine species; andWaipi’o, HI, and Anzalduas-Bentsen,TX, eight species. All other CBCs hadseven or fewer high counts.
