It has become a fond holiday tradition (and reunion!), with most of our group having participated in multiple Bird Counts. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their eyes and ears that morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We documented 306 birds of 25 species \u2013 with the quantity due to eight flocks of Canada Geese flying overhead. Some of our most exciting sightings were a Brown Creeper, Winter Wren, and several woodpeckers and vultures. Once again this year, the Great Horned Owl that has been calling many nights around the park did not make an appearance that day, but we heard it just the night before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the 123rd year for the CBC \u2013 the world\u2019s longest-running Citizen Science survey!&nbsp;<strong>Here is our official Christmas Bird Count list of
