Randy:
Yes 1963 was the earliest (or at least the earliest that was recorded).
All the data from all years can be seen here:

There were 61 species observed in 1963. Of those, two have not shown up
on the count since: Dickcissel and Green-tailed Towhee!

When was the first Ithaca Christmas Bird Count? It may have been
1/1/63, as that is the earliest NYIT CBC that I could find in the
National Audubon Society web archive. Perhaps I could find it
somewhere in my old files, as I recall working
with Dorothy McIlroy to establish the first circle, whose center has
since been moved slightly. Good birding! --Randy
