These are the actual number of species seen or heard at Collier's Reserve on these dates by Pete Thayer. The birding trips started at sunrise and lasted about three hours. In some cases, an additional 30 minutes of birding was added in the afternoon. May 7th was the Audubon International Golf Course Open - 8 hours were spent birding that day.
Travel was by golf cart and by foot. Routes varied but generally covered holes 5,6,7,8,9,13,14 and 15 and ended at Turner Place. The swamp between the 14th green and the 1st tee is the best area at Collier's Reserve for birds.
There are 87 species on this list. 126 have been seen at Collier's Reserve.
