The NW Clayton Co. was conducted today, Jan 3rd, with a preliminary tally of 57 species, a new record for this count.
I am still waiting on numbers, but species wise, this was an exceptional count with several new all-time species. Highlights included Great Blue Heron, Trumpeter Swan (only waterfowl at the moment), Gray Partridge, Golden Eagle, NORTHERN GOSHAWK, Eurasian Collared-Dove, all 7 woodpeckers, a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE, Hermit Thrush, Yellow-rumped Warbler, 7 species of sparrows, Brown-headed Cowbird and 4 finch species.
