Oshawa Christmas Bird Count
Saturday, December21, 2013
Species counted- 79 (plus 3 for count week)
Individual birds counted- 33120
Record highs and ties (old high count)
Peregrine Falcon- 3 (2)
Lesser Black-backed Gull- 1 (1)
Snowy Owl- 5 (3)
Common Raven- 5 (2)
Horned Lark- 362 (251)
In the good old days 79 species would have been a good count. If
you look at the last 20 years it is below adverage.
The freezing rain on Friday night made the day interesting.
