Springfield's 30th CBC was held 22 December, following a postponement 
due to inclement weather on the 16th.  Although the number of 
participants were down, the number of species was the second-highest 
ever, with 53 seen.  We had seven high counts or ties for the most 
number of individuals of a species.  These included Bald Eagle (4), 
Wild Turkey (341), Red-bellied Woodpecker (2), Hairy Woodpecker (89), 
Bohemian Waxwing (503), Cedar Waxwing (728), and Rusty Blackbird (4). 
Highlight species included the Rusty Balckbirds and a Gray Catbird. 
Overall, we had over 8,100 individual birds, running about 1,000 over 
our 10-year average.
