Birds around Calgary
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Calgary (50° to 55° latitude, -115° to -110° longitude, about 550 km across), not the city alone. Counts are shares of all birds records in the same weeks, so busier stations do not inflate them (methods).
