Happy Friday the 13th!
Carolinabirds was born 6 years old today, on the auspicious date of Friday,
13 December 1996. Our number of subscribers seems to have stabilized,
though more people are reading us now on the four web sites that carry our
group. Here's some information about us:
Total subscribers on

12/13/2001: 545

12/13/98: 368
12/13/97: 262

12/14/96: 17
Breakdown by location on 12/13/01:
1 Canada
426 United States
102 unknown
There used to be more foreign subscribers - I'm sure the availability of
Carolinabirds on the web has a great deal to do with the decrease.

The Triangle area's overrepresentation is up slightly from last year's
27.9%. In NC, the Asheville area is also well represented, the Charlotte
area is a little underrepresented, and the Triad area (Greensboro/Winston-
Salem/High Point) is woefully underrepresented. In SC, the majority of
subscribers are in the Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville areas.
Breakdown by sex (estimated from names):
313 male (60.5%)

There's a slight trend of a higher percentage of female subscribers. In
years past it's held steady at 38%.
Thanks to all of you who make this group a success! Please let me know if
you have any suggestions for improving the usefulness of Carolinabirds.
Merry Christmas Bird Counting!
