{BIRD NOTES ~ 2013 CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT}
Bird Notes
I was unable to carry out the duties of compiler on the 21st so Chris Petrak volunteered and did an exemplary job. Here are the results:
Hi Al, I have added in the feeder count you sent me. I have not received any other counts or “count week” sightings, so I will consider this the final report. Late Tuesday (about 4pm) a Fox Sparrow appeared at our feeder, just inside the time limit for count week. This brings our total to 57 species. Notable species are highlighted in bold.
