December 2012

We finished the year 2012 with 286 species. This is two species above the mean of the last 13 years and is equal to the median (the data are not normally distributed). In those thirteen years, the total count as varied from 273 to 293 species. If you look at the data as normally distributed, the standard deviation is about six species.

This year is particularly interesting in that we set an early blistering pace. At the end of June and August we were nine species over the average! We had visions of easily breaking the previous high count (293 in 2011). But by the end of October we were at 282 species, four more than the average for that period and one more than the record year in 2011. But in the last two months of 2012, the hand of fate wrote that we were only to see two new species in November and two more in December. In 2011, we were blessed by that hand and found six new species in both months. The hand has written and we move on, or something like that.

So, how did we end the year?

We had one 5, a RED PHALAROPE, found on Pond A15 in Alviso on 8 Dec. What a bird! It remained into the New Year, which rarely happens for this bird of the wild ocean in our quiet bay. If you have the stomach for the so called "Pacific" in December, than you will see Red Phalarope. But they are far more hardy than we are, so we must cherish the occasional wanderer in our stormless Bay. Mike Rogers reported seeing this bird chased by two of our healthy local Peregrine Falcons, yet it was not captured that time.

And we had one 6, a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL on 22 Dec 2012. Beautifully photographed at Sobrato HS in Morgan Hill, a gift to us from the Kirby Landfill, it did not stay for the Calero-Morgan Hill CBC. Such is fate. Enjoy 2013.
