Big Day (Bird Race)
20 May 2000
by Randy Hoffman
Big Day Statistics:
On the Shea/Hoffman big day of May 20, 2000, we had excellent listening conditions all day. A high pressure was directly over head and the maximum winds for the day were 4 mph. The migration was almost nil. We did get a few chips at night and ran into a handful of passerine migrants during the day. We missed Northern Parula and Black-throated Green Warbler. The day before and the day after we had them at Baxter's Hollow, where they nested. We also lost several mudflats, because a six-inch rain fell two days before the count was conducted. Greater Yellowlegs, Solitary Sandpiper, Ruddy Turnstone, Stilt Sandpiper, Short-billed Dowitcher and Red-necked Phalarope were observed two days before the count. With extensive the mudflats of two days before the count and a little success with the warblers 218 species could have been possible. We believe this is the highest big day count from any state that does not have an ocean (10 to 15 species should be possible from an ocean visit).
