Thanks to the good weather, many dedicated birders in the field (some who went owling - the Great Horned and Barred), our feeder watchers (the Towhee and Saw-whet) , and a heads up from a birder in the count area (the American Wigeons and one of the Pintails), we had a very successful CBC on Dec. 28th. We found 92 species on count day - a new high - and added a new species during the count week - the White-winged Dove which unfortunately was not relocated on count day.
We had 10 new high species counts - more than doubling the previous number of Black Scoters and Snow Buntings, and a third more Buffleheads. As expected, our 16 Snowy Owls (maybe 17) topped the old record of 6. The 16203 total birds seen is also a record for the count.
Thanks to all who participated.
Have a great new year - birding and otherwise!!
