During the 2006–2007 (107th) Christmas Bird Count (CBC) season 109 species of birds were registered on ten Regional CBCs conducted in the Upper Cumberland Region (UCR).
To see a map (Figure 1) of the Upper Cumberland Region showing locations of circles within which CBCs were conducted this season, click on the following link:
The circles covered by the ten CBCs conducted in the Region cover a total of 4584 square km (1770 square mi); since the Region itself covers 26450 square km (10212 square mi), the ten CBC circles represent 17.3% of the area represented within the Region, a percentage that probably approaches or equals the threshold needed to allow the CBC data to be roughly representative of the Regional birdlife as a whole.
To see a table comparing total species listed on CBCs with total species listed on Great Backyard Bird Counts (GBBCs) for each winter since the winter of 2003–2004, click on the following link:
