Hi all:

=20

A quick review of the two teams in the field and our one feeder watcher sho=
ws our efforts to come to 53 species.  I think this is great considering th=
e heavy winds and constant snow squalls that took place today.  It for me w=
as one of the coldest and most unpleasant Christmas Bird Counts that I've p=
articipated in over the years.  Dorothy Poole and I comprised the one team =
in the field and we had 44 species. =20

=20

Highlights which some might wish to pursue were three green-winged teal on =
the White Point Property.  If you take the back road to the bridge that cro=
sses the walking trail there is open water.  This is where the teal came to=
. =20

=20

We had Northern Gannets at Summerville Beach and Sylvia Fullerton had them =
at Western Head.  At Summerville Beach there were 19 yellow-rumped warblers=
.

=20

Sylvia had a Barrows Goldeneye=2C but I'm not sure of the location.  She al=
so had four double-crested cormorants that were with great cormorants at th=
e look-off along the Beach Meadows Road. =20

=20

Lots of Canada geese were on the move today with flocks going everywhere we=
 stopped.  With one of these flocks near Summerville Beach was a snow goose=
.  I do not know where this bird will end up as the birds were in flight in=
 the direction of Cape Sable Island or maybe Port Joli. =20

=20

We had a yellow-breasted chat at the Anthony Trail along Bog Road. =20

=20

We had five Cardinals in Liverpool and Sylvia had one at Brooklyn.

=20

Dorothy has a red-winged blackbird tending at her feeders which we caught a=
t the end of day. =20
