Christmas Bird Count Results
On Sunday, December 26, we conducted our annual Christmas Bird Count. Twenty participants in 5 groups walked a combined 12 miles of trails and recorded all of the bird species they spotted. We managed to count 44 different bird species, including 2 juvenile bald eagles! The full list of species and numbers spotted is below.
Special thanks go out to Tim Nabors, Jake Sberna, Andy Fix, and Linda Romine for coming out early Sunday morning to help lead the groups. And a big shout-out to Linda Petrosky and Deb Wasserman for counting the birds at our feeders to round out the count.
