The Tillamook County Spring 2013 NAMC was held on Saturday, May 11, 2013.  
 
Total Species:  167
Individuals:  10,391

We had 13 volunteers for the count, and gained five more after the fact (see note).  We clocked almost 26 hrs on foot, over 14 hours by car, 4 hours by boat and 3 1/2 hrs stationary (no feeder counters this year).  We drove 223 miles and walked about 38.

  • Desi and dawn Villaescusa
  • Jack Hurt
  • Joe Blowers
  • Kathy and Mike Krall

NOTE:  Dave Irons and Shawneen Finnegan graciously allowed us to use their counts for areas where we did not have coverage, or where they saw birds we didn't see.  There were two others in their party.

We had lots of variety, including some outstanding rare or hard-to-find birds, including:
