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. -- ########################## Marianne and Michael Walsh 151 East Camp Hill Road Weathersfield, VT 05156-9629 802-885-9420 **************************************************************** To post messages, send e-mail to: [log in to unmask] Set your e-mail application to PLAIN TEXT ONLY to post messages.
