The discussion re Wood Ducks and Carl's comment as to whether they
have really increased in numbers is another argument for not only
listing species but the number of each species on each and every
birding outing.

Graeme,
The good old Wood Duck certainly has worn out its welcome in many
(all) golf clubs etc. I don't know why, after all the Woodies cut
down on mowing and provide free fertiliser for the greens and
fairways. It would be interesting to see if there are any
differences in populations between the two atlases. I had a quick
look on BA's Birdata and there does not seem to be much of a
difference, but then the atlases only give an approximation of
actual populations
