Gallinule CBC records

The Xmas Count (CBC) Common Gallinule was the first appearance of this species on a Kings Circle Count day since 1996.

There were 7 prior overall records , most beleived all seen in Prospect Park according to master compiler Rick Cech.

Gallinules on count:

frmBKXMasSightings
Year
1970
1983
1984
1986
1988
1991
1996
2017

All were Prospect Park except 1970, and that was before we had area breakdowns, so could have been PP also.

Last BKXMas record was in 1996, 21 years ago!
