The DBC Board is pleased to present Mini-Tutorials on the DBC YouTube Channel.
Mini-tutorial describing the Spring Bird Count (SBC), an annual daylong count of birds that coincides with peak migration. Joe Suchecki, aka The Springbrook Birder, provides a portrait of the Illinois count, focusing on the DuPage count which is coordinated by the DuPage Birding Club. Spring brings many species of birds and birds in great abundance, so it's an exciting time to be out looking for them. Joe covers how the counts came about in (IL in 1972, DuPage in 1973), how it is organized, and how the information can be used to gain insights on bird populations. See a list of the 39 species that have been seen on all 49 DuPage counts, 20 species that have only been seen in only one count, and a few more fascinating facts. After watching the video, learn more about the Illinois SBC on its website at the Illinois Natural History Survey: https://spring-bird-count.inhs.illino....
