Besides Somerset Christmas Bird Count (CBC) data that have been made available online in the tri-continental CBC database since the 1996–1997 (97th) CBC season (Tables 2–4), CBCs were also conducted at this site during six earlier CBC seasons, though none of the earlier data were incorporated into the tri-continental database. Some general information about those earlier counts is provided below (Table 1); detailed species lists from these counts may be viewed via this link:
