[birding] CBC high counts: A few adjustments

[Joel Geier]

Hi folks,

I should have added a disclaimer, that the Oregon CBC high counts posted
at:

www.oregonbirds.org/cbchighs.html

are still provisional. The review process for the data in the National
Audubon Society database has not been completed yet. In fact, a few
counts that happened still haven't shown up in the database yet. The
compilers for three of those counts were kind enough to send me an
advance copy of their results, but it looks like I overlooked one major
count (Sauvie Island).

So please view these high count "standings" as just for fun. That said,
I've fixed a couple of errors that were brought to my attention. A
couple of Slate-colored Junco tallies numbering in the hundreds were
probably supposed to be regular Oregon Juncos. The eight Barred Owls
rumored to be in Prineville turned out to be Barrow's Goldeneyes (this
was caused by a glitch in a sorting function in my spreadsheet). If you
spot any other obvious errors, please let me know.

Once the major glitches are sorted out, I plan to post a downloadable
spreadsheet that gives the provisional results from all Oregon CBCs (not
just the high counts).

Happy birding,
Joel
