The MEYC CBC was held on Monday, December 19th, when 25 of us surveyed the area from Moody in Wells to Fort Foster, and inland. Weather was not great; we began in light snow and rain which continued most of the morning, followed by clearing and then more light rain with temps in the mid thirties.There was a light cover of snow, and mostly frozen fresh water. Numbers were quite low across the board. We tallied 78 species, with no new high or low counts.We had a lot of misses,too, including not a single warbler. One highlight was a lone Dovekie off the Nubble Light seen by Dough Hitchcox and Fyn Kynd. We added Red-shouldered Hawk and Ring-necked Pheasant for count week. Once again we had many Eastern Bluebirds (110), which always make the day a little better, and we were only 19 off our previous high count of Mallard, at 1,109. Yippee! Thanks to everyone who participated.
