[Maine-birds] Augusta CBC summary

The species total of 53 for the Augusta Christmas Bird Count was about average. We had a couple new records for high counts and several species had much higher than average (count has been going since 1970). Species such as Eastern Bluebird and Red-bellied Woodpeckers continue to increase in our area in the winter. There were low numbers of a couple duck species likely because of the low amount of open water. For irruptive birds, we had a lot of Bohemian Waxwings and some Pine Grosbeaks but no Evening Grosbeaks or Common Redpolls. Rare or unusual sparrows for our CBC included White-Crowned, Chipping, and Fox. See a more detailed summary and a link to the complete count at: http://augustabirds.org/wp/augusta-cbc/
