Here is information for thirty Christmas Bird Counts around the state.
Note that Tri-Cities has been moved to January 4 because the original date
(December 14) was before the official count period begins. However, the
Port Townsend count will be held on the 14th anyway because too many of
their regular participants will be out of town the following weekend and
through the holidays.

A few compilers have not furnished their dates as yet: Ellensburg, Grand
Coulee, Quillayute River, San Juan Islands (ferry).

I haven't been able to track down names of compilers or any other
information for the Omak/Okanogan and Twisp counts. Can anybody help?
