Results of Pooled Data Event in Cumberland, DeKalb, Jackson, and Putnam Counties, Tennessee, Using Data Collected According to Great Backyard Bird Count Protocols—13 February 2010
The image of this White-breasted Nuthatch—displaying the classic foot-positioning that enables individuals of this species to move headfirst down a tree trunk—was captured near Alexandria, DeKalb County, Tennessee, not too long before the 2010 GBBC; photo Judy C. Fuson (31 January 2010). |
The data below for 91 species of birds occurring in the Upper Cumberland Region during late winter 2009–2010 derive from results of the Pooled Data Event as recorded on Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) checklists from four Upper Cumberland Region counties—Cumberland, DeKalb, Jackson, and Putnam counties, Tennessee. All pooled data were collected 13 February 2010. Many thanks to all the observers who submitted checklists from these counties on that date; thanks are due also to observers from other UCR counties who submitted checklists for 13 February 2010—but not in sufficient quantity, detail, or timeliness to reach the 10 checklists per county minimum necessary for inclusion below—and to all observers who submitted data from still other UCR counties for one or more of the other three days of the GBBC.

All data provided below derive from checklists representing a time frame between 15 minutes and 2 hours in duration. In all cases the data came to SJS as a forwarded copy of the checklist results sent to observers (on request) as e-mail generated by the GBBC data-entry program. Observers listed their names and data collection sites in the "Comments" section of the checklist report.
Note: Somewhat like the weather during the 2008 and 2009 versions of the Regional Pooled Data Event, weather during the 2010 version was relatively conducive to the collection of bird data (although very cold, causing most small bodies of water to be completely frozen, especially at higher elevations) and quite unlike the snowstorm-dominated conditions that characterized the Pooled Data Events of 2006 and 2007.
