We have moved the Fairmont CBC to a weekday this year to make the count available to more potential birders. It might be the only count in the state where Harris Sparrow has been recorded more often than Cedar Waxwing (or it might not). So if you are tired of counting Pine Grosbeaks in the north woods or Greater Scaup on the Mississippi and you are looking to add a Eurasian Collared-dove to your year list before the new year, you may want to consider adding this count to your calendar.
The count circle does contain numerous lakes, Wildlife Management Areas, and other public lands. For the truly adventurous birder; there is always the challenge of trying to count the (usually) thousands of Canada Geese on the city lakes, or the risk of taking a wrong turn and ending up in Iowa.
