Re: [Maine-birds] So. York County CBC

And our new high for Red-bellied WP at 47 was considerably higher than our previous record of 28.  It wasn't that long ago that a RBWP was a very unusual sighting here!

The Southern York County CBC (MEYC) was held on December 14th. 22 birders covered small parts of each section in couples or singles. The weather was pretty good, with calm winds in the morning and temperatures from 33 to 39 degrees, although the wind picked up in the afternoon.

We found 10,002 birds, including 2 new species for the count: Rock Wren and Northern Shoveler. The Western Tanager was also located for count day, along with a Northern Shrike and a Yellow-breasted Chat.

We had quite a few new high counts: Green-winged Teal (9); Black Scoter (980); Red-bellied Woodpecker (47); Hairy Woodpecker (35); Tufted Titmouse (252); and Carolina Wren (21). Also, we had a new low for Herring Gull at 302, the previous low was 378.

Thanks to everyone who participated, and my hopes for a better year ahead, when we can bird together!
