The 13th annual Bradford area CBC was held on Sunday, Jan. 2nd with 16 in-field observers and two feeder watchers participating. We saw a total of 46 species, bang on the average for this count. Highlights included our first-ever Ruby-crowned Kinglet (the 92nd species for this count's history), our second-ever Long-eared Owl, three Ravens, a Snowy Owl, 12 Bohemian Waxwings, RB Woodpecker, Goshawk, Horned Lark, Merlin, 5 Rough-legged Hawks, and 6 Northern Shrikes. It was a good day out and a nice way to start the new year. Many thanks to those who participated!
