Hello everyone,
=20
This is just a quick note to thank all the observers on yesterday's Kings=
ton XBC. It will be some time before I get final numbers, but it was a ver=
y good day, and we had 63 species at the compiling session, with some to be=
checked, and most feeder reports still to come. Highlights included remar=
kable numbers of northern birds, including Rough-legged Hawks, Northern Shr=
ikes, Snow Buntings, and the winter finches, an excellent variety of our re=
gular coastal species, and local winter rarities such as Harlequin Duck, Bl=
ack-legged Kittiwake, Razorbill, Belted Kingfisher, Pine Warbler, and Hoary=
Redpoll. Total number of observers (one of the best measures of a count's=
success) will be close to last year's 116. Special thanks to Barb & Pat G=
iffin for hosting the compilation social (any suggestions for a better name=
for it?).

Thanks to all feeder observers who have reported your summaries by e-mai=
l, telephone, or through notes delivered to the compiling session. I shall=
be replying individually as time permits, but, unless you are mailing them=
to me, delivering them or dropping them in my mailbox, please keep your re=
ports in a safe place intil I get around to pick them up. I should get mos=
t of them within a week, but will try to avoid bothering anyone on Christm=
as Eve or Christmas Day. Feel to contact me on those days if you wish.
=20
Special thanks to all who read the instructions carefully and completed t=
he report forms and rare bird reports accordingly. That makes the task of =
compiler much easier and ensures that we have a good archive of information=
that may be of value not only in planning future counts, but in any studie=
s of local bird populations. Also special thanks to those observers from o=
utside the count area who contributed their own time and travel costs to he=
lp give us very good field coverage. The weather co-operated, and everyon=
e seems to have enjoyed the day.
Best wishes of the season,
