North American MigratoryBird Count
Boyce/Mayview Park
 On May 8, 1999, Bill Judd led a group
participating in the 1999 North American Migratory Bird Count. The
count took place in the Boyce/Mayview Park and the adjacent wetlands.
These results will be added to other counts across the country to gain
a better understanding of the migratory habits of birds. There were a
total of 803 individual birds counted. But more importantly, there were
72 species identified in the park. This is a significant number of
species in one area and helps to demonstrate the value of the park as a
biologically diverse area.
