The Blenheim/Rondeau CBC was held Sunday December 20. The total number of
species seen/heard was 115. This ties our all time high which we had
previously set last year. The weather was absolutely beautiful which seems
to not happen very often on this count! There was 1 new species added which
brings the count total to 182 plus 3 CW.
Highlights are:
Common Loon 2
Turkey Vulture 2
Virginia Rail 1
Sandhill Crane 2
Killdeer 8
Dunlin 1
Wilson's Snipe 2
Great Horned Owl 57 -- new high
Northern Saw-whet Owl 1

American Crow 9552 -- new high
House Wren 1
