The Woodhouse CBC was held December 21st. Thirty field observers and 4 feederwatchers found 81 species and counted 26,309 individual birds. The weather was reasonable with temperatures from -3 Celsius to 1 Celsius, partially cloudy skies and no precipitation. Fairly strong winds however made things more challenging. Winter finches found were Common Redpoll, Pine Siskin and Purple Finch.
Unusual species reported: 1 Northern Pintail 1 Northern Shoveler 1 Ruddy Duck 1 Merlin 1 Killdeer 3 Dunlin 2 Red-headed Woodpeckers 1 House Wren 1 Gray Catbird 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers Thanks to all the observers for their great effort. Results will be posted to the Audubon CBC website shortly.
