Interesting report. Our bird count goes Sunday. I think some of the places I go will have to be omitted as the snow is too deep. Altogether we will bet about 60 species.
Red, we had 60+ at last count. It was 51F about 2pm, sweatshirt weather, gorgeous day. My area along the creek through town was severely impacted by our October blizzard, it is like a whole new habitat. Many, many trees and limbs down, the clean up really opened up some areas!
