Like so many others, our count weather was so mild that we were able to access more of our count circle than usual. We had 27 field counters (good for little old Troy) and a handful of feeder counters. We tallied 54 species on count day with another six species for count week. Highlights were Canyon Wren, Trumpeter Swans (12), Killdeer, Snipe, and Pygmy Nuthatches. This may not seem like a lot, but for those of us participating in the count, it was pretty good!
