Hi all:
=20
The Lunenburg Christmas Bird Count ended up with 80 species. There were lo=
ts of highlights. Three long-eared owls and five great horned owls on Heck=
man's Island along with two northern saw-whets were found by Fulton Lavende=
r and Dottie Welch. A Baltimore oriole was at Garden Lots. Lots of northe=
rn cardinals were located. Three brown-headed cowbirds were at Back Centre=
. Both red and white-winged crossbills were located. On the day of the co=
unt only yellow-rumped warblers were found at Mader's Cove by Dorothy Poole=
and David Walmark. Eileen and Bill Billington had a fox sparrow along the=
Northwest Road. Another is at Gold River at the residence of Brenda Hiltz=
. We had a barred owl at the Lunenburg town limits and another was found o=
ut along Second Peninsula. We had two red-throated loons and one Barrow's =
goldeneye. White-breasted nuthatches surpassed red-breasted nuthatches. T=
here was one glaucous gull and four black-legged kittiwakes. There was one=
dovekie and lots of brown creepers. =20
=20
On the day of the count a lot of bird species that were around did not make=
an appearance. They were back the day after though. Waterfowl were sparc=
e=2C but the day after plentiful. It was a weird day overall. Most birds =
were found at feeders and very little occurred in natural or expected habit=
at. We found this on the Broad Cove Count as well.

Steven Hiltz has had a brown-headed cowbird for weeks now at Back Centre an=
d a new arrival there is a pileated woodpecker. =20
=20
Another female Baltimore Oriole has shown up at Herman's Island and a north=
ern cardinal is also tending there.
=20
At Clearland a northern cardinal is still present.
=20
In Bridgewater a Charles Berry had 18 cedar waxwings.
=20
Glenn Rhodenizer at Second Peninsula has had a yellow-breasted chat=2C a Wi=
lson's snipe=2C two killdeer and snow buntings.
=20
Pine warblers are still about. I've heard of people seeing them=2C but hav=
e not had time to follow up myself. =20
=20
At First South the greater scaup flock has grown to 168 with about 20 lesse=
r scaup as well.
=20
Over 300 Canada geese have moved into Riverport.
=20
Deborah Rogers nicely captured photos of a barred owl and great horned owl =
during daylight hours at Oakland. =20
=20
There are probably other birds that I've not mentioned=2C but I can't remem=
ber them offhand.
