Christmas Bird Count excel template

 

CBC compilers: Would you like an excel template for compiling your CBC?

Just ask.

I have been compiling two or three CBCs for many years. They are small counts of four areas each with 12-20 field counters and half a dozen feeder watchers. 32-52 species.  Field Tallies are got to me by eBird trip reports (more on that in the autumn) and feeder watchers report by email usually.

This is what I use. It has no macros or complicated formulae.  There is only one cell reference to another sheet.  If you know a little bit beyond basic excel, you can add areas and feeder watchers fairly easily.  If you would prefer I adapt it for you, I maybe able to (I know only as much excel as you see here), for a small donation to the Rocky Mountain Naturalists - tax receipt available.

Features:

  • Subtotals for field and feeder watchers
  • Count of countable taxon
  • Count week species separate
  • Weather Audubon style
  • Effort calculator for multiple parties
  • Effort data entry adaptable to be done by area leader
  • etc
