For those interested:

This wonderful publication from Cornell just arrived today. I've only had a chance to look at the global population estimates for land birds. I've never seen these numbers elsewhere. I would never have guessed that the rarest yard bird we have (in total numbers) might be a Cooper's Hawk?? With Eastern Screech Owl a runner-up?? But no surprise that the rarest land birds we've seen are Florida Scrub Jays or ST Kites/M. Cuckoos ... depending on how you want to crunch the numbers.

I haven't had a chance to look at the breeding distribution info and population trends.

To obtain a copy, just send an e-mail to:

I'm a Cornell lab member - but I don't think it mattered - there was no charge.
