Here are the CBCs sorted by date and E.WA vs. W.WA:

Brought to you by the following gripe.

{The scheduling for western Washington on December 20 is absurd. Ten of 23
westside counts are on that day alone. Gray's Harbor is traditionally on
the first Saturday of the count period and is one of the premier counts of
the state. It deserves all the help it can get. But Oak Harbor, Port
Gamble, and Port Townsend are all near each other and collectively over the
years have added very little to the knowledge of birds in Puget Sound.
(I'm sorry if that hurts someones feelings, but look at the data.) They are
each fine birding areas, but none will get enough coverage for meaningful
data. There are not enough "resources" in Washington to spread us that
thin.

Christmas Bird Counts are not a social program for birdwatchers. They are
intended to collect valid data on bird populations. Please consider using
all the available dates to maximise potential participants on all the
counts.}

And now for the relevant information.
