The 5th Saugeen Shores CBC was held on Saturday, January 3rd with excellent weather. 24 participants located 50 species. Highlights included an Eastern Meadowlark, Lapland Longspur, Golden Eagle, 12 Bald Eagles, 13 Snowy Owls, and 47 Red-tailed Hawks including one almost completely white leucistic adult. Surprisingly few gulls, ducks and waterfowl were observed. Record highs were recorded for 5 species of woodpecker plus a Northern Flicker was located during count week.
