KOOTENAI COUNTY BIRDING BIG YEAR 2014
Compiled by Shirley Sturts
Dr. Stephen Lindsay did a Big Year in 2001. He attempted to see 200 birds in Kootenai County during the year 2001. He tallied up only 199 and on January 1, 2002 he found a Snowy Owl out on Rathdrum Prairie. Had he found it the day before he would have made his 200. This gave me the idea of doing a Kootenai County Big Year as a group. Our first group Kootenai County Big Year was in 2002. We counted 195 species. Our lowest count was 189 species in 2008. We reached our goal of over 200 species in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2012. Our highest count was 209 species in 2012.
The idea of doing County Big Years caught on. Twenty-four out of 43 Idaho Counties are doing Big Years this year. The results are posted on www.idahobirds.net. Shoshone, Bonner and Benewah counties are also our Audubon website.
Call Shirley 664-5318 or e-mail shirley.sturts@gmail.com to get credit for being the first to see a species for the year.
