    BULLETIN PUBLISHED QUARTERLY Vol. 49 March, 1998 No. 1 THE WINTER BIRD COUNT FOR 1998 Max C. Thompson and Eugene A. Young The 50 Christmas Bird Counts (CBC's) conducted during 1997 is above the aver- age of 47 for the 90's. One count was thrown out for not conforming to guidelines and seved were not conducted because of bad weather in western Kansas during the CBC count period. Overall weather conditions varied greatly across the state, although it was genedly wet and mild in the east and cold and snowy in the west (Cimarron National Grasslands, Meade, and Old Garfield all had over 6 inches of snow on the ground). Of the 50 CBC's, 16 (32%) reported less than favorable survey conditions. Counts covered most of the physiographic and geographical regions of the state with the exception of the northwestern comer, which got minimal coverage and the southwestern, centd and northeastern regions of the state had the most compre- hensive coverage. The Halstead/Newton Count was their 49th annual CBC. There were 626 participants on CBC's this year. This was the fourth time in five years that the total number of participants exceeded 600. There has been an average of 599 observers per year for the 90's. Of the 3,380,542 total birds observed this year 60.2% (2,033,586) were Red- winged Blackbirds. The Slate Creek Wetlands/Oxford count had 93.5% of the red- wings with 1,901,305 observed. The next four most abundant species were all waterfowl: Canada Goose (471,185 individuals); Snow Goose (both forms combined 152,427); Mallard (115,774); and Greater White-fronted Goose (97.736).
