We obtained results for Utah Statewide: Total by compiling and jointly analyzing data from 42 strata.

Field technicians completed all planned surveys (100%) in 2025. Technicians conducted 2904 point counts within the 256 surveyed grid cells between May 9 and July 10. They detected 180 bird species, including 9 priority species.

Bird Conservancy estimated densities (birds per square kilometer) for 224 species that were detected in any year during which surveys were conducted, 14 of which are priority species. The data yielded robust density estimates (CV < 50%) for 101 species.
