Total number of species: 54


Total individuals, all species: 2,864


Total effort, hours: 87


Number of parties out, 9 am – 5 pm: 25


Highlights: 


Some species of waterfowl that usually migrate before CBC were seen. 1 Redhead, 3 Red-headed Mergansers, and 3 Northern Shovelers.


Large flocks of waxwings, both species, totaling 704 birds.


Mallards, as usual, were found in numbers; this year it was 360, which is below usual.


Bald Eagle numbers were low, 19. Most likely due to poor hunter success on the elk refuge. 


See the table for full results. Many thanks to all for your time and effort!
