COBirders, First, I want to thank all the participants that came to help with the count. They all did a great job and every group contributed multiple species that were not found in other areas. And thank you to all the people who help with the CBCs!
Currently the total species count sits at 124 which is a new high count. The previous high was 120 set back in 2007. I don't expect any new species to be added but I do have two feeder watchers yet to send in their results. We added three new species to the count: EURASIAN WIGEON, CINNAMON TEAL and HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER. The rest of the highlights: Ross's Goose (2nd ever) Sora Red-bellied Woodpecker (4th ever) Williamson's Sapsucker Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Black Phoebe Carolina Wren (2nd ever) Winter Wren Rufous-crowned Sparrow Swamp Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Harris's Sparrow Brown-headed Cowbird Common Redpoll (2nd ever) Thank you again to the participants for all of your help! ----- Mark Peterson Colorado Springs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
