Annual Salmon River CBC
I didn't go out and count with any of the teams for the MAS CBC, but did count birds from my home as a feeder watcher. I'm curious to find out how it went for those of you who may have been dealing with that nasty weather.
I had a great count from the warmth of my kitchen. :) 180+ robins visited the yard for a bit, as did 10 cedar waxwings and a good mix of other feeder birds. The red-breasted nuthatch continues from the fall (as someone else from the list mentioned in another post).

Pam -
Well, good news / bad news -
Good - Thanks for the coverage;180 robins is pretty impressive.
Bad - the Count was postponed until NEXT Sunday, Dec 22. I watched the
Pats and the Jets from my living room, and the bird feeders from the
kitchen. Ok, so now that you have practiced, you can do a REALLY great
job this coming Sunday, right?
Seriously, if you want to e-mail me your list on the 22nd, I'll be happy to
give it to Joe Morin at the compilation.

Oh me, oh my! You're correct.... I have practiced well. Let's hope next
Sunday brings good birds again. The 23rd, right? You had the 22nd written
and I just want to be sure we've got it right. I may not be able to give it
as much time as I was able to yesterday, but I'll certainly try. If I do,
I'll email the list to you. Thanks much.
