So, who do you think had the most identified species in the game?
(Drumroll, please…)
+----------------+---------+ | user | species | +----------------+---------+ | kryptonkay | 26 | | kitcat | 22 | | annelizabeth | 21 | | birdbrain | 21 | | robin54 | 21 | | killeshin | 20 | | elanus | 19 | | vanilla | 19 | | vireo | 18 | | avatar99 | 18 | | fingerlakes | 17 | | lal | 17 | | spurdin | 17 | | achadamaia | 16 | | rookie | 15 | | teixeira | 15 | | noho_bird_club | 15 | | idbirds | 15 | | sunbird | 14 | | xav | 14 | +----------------+---------+ 20 rows in set (0.36 sec)
Here’s kryptonkay’s count of ID’s per species:
+---------------------------+-------+ | bird | count | +---------------------------+-------+ | White-crowned Sparrow | 1 | | Hooded Oriole | 1 | | Lazuli Bunting | 2 | | Wilson's Warbler | 2 | | Song Sparrow | 2 | | California Towhee | 3 | | Townsend's Warbler | 4 | | Ring-necked Pheasant | 4 | | American Crow | 5 | | Red-tailed Hawk | 9 | | Golden-crowned Sparrow | 16 | | Downy Woodpecker | 47 | | Anna's Hummingbird | 51 | | Rock Pigeon | 55 | | Allen's Hummingbird | 56 | | Lesser Goldfinch | 64 | | Steller's Jay | 68 | | Chestnut-backed Chickadee | 71 | | Pygmy Nuthatch | 77 | | Black-headed Grosbeak | 77 | | Mourning Dove | 81 | | American Robin | 118 | | Dark-eyed Junco | 123 | | House Sparrow | 145 | | Western Scrub-Jay | 164 | | House Finch | 297 | +---------------------------+-------+ 26 rows in set (0.17 sec)
It’s impressive that she was on-hand for so many of the game’s rarities: the Ring-necked Pheasant, the American Crow, the Red-tailed Hawk, Hooded Oriole, Lazuli Bunting; if there was a rare bird spotted, it’s a good bet that she got a shot of it.
Congratulations, kryptonkay! 🙂
Thanks elanus, I was out of work at the time the game first started so I was watching the camera alot. I was hooked from day 1 and had so much fun with the birds and players. I really didn’t know much about the real names of the birds so with everyones help I learned so much. Now when I walk with my Mom I say “oh there’s a chestnut back chickadee!” or “look at that housefinch” Thank-you everyone for your help. Miss you all!
Me too. I have feeders up myself now and have tons of visitors in the garden.
