2010 Christmas Bird Count!
The 2010 CBC on December 30 went well. A bit slower than years past but it was cloudy and windy for large parts of the day. The new Agriculture has made much more habitat for Mexican Ducks, and Lesser Nighthawks (which are usually not around this time of year). Thanks to David Mackay, Richard Webster, Renner Anderson, Shadia, Doug, Heather, Patrick, Tino, Lupito, Sallie and Adam for participating. The totals are below. We hope more folks will join us next year!
