Some highlights are as follows: - Red-necked and Horned Grebes, Black Guillemot and Razorbills (2) in the Bedford Basin or Bedford Bay - unusual this far into the Basin. - Also seen along the Bedford shoreline - 10 Barrow's Goldeneye, 3 Glaucous Gulls, many Icelands. - Northern Mockingbird, Northern Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles and Red-bellied Woodpecker were all observed. In all, 6 woodpecker species were seen. - The "Owling Team" tallied 4 species including Long-eared off the Kingswood North Road from Hammonds Plains Rd. At the post-count tally and pot luck held at Scott Manor House, and organized by Rich Peckham and Maureen Nowlan, the "rough tally" gave 78 species, a new all-time record for the count. And many field and feeder reports are still to be included. We should easily hit 80 species and possibly several beyond that. It was a great day for the count - not too cold or warm, fairly calm and quite sunny. A nice day to be outside! Happy New Year to all!
