Hello all, Here are the results for the Redwood Falls CBC. Two individuals participated and a third could not make it because of the weather. Cold and blustery, but still a good count for a party of two. The highlight was a flock of 6 male Eastern Bluebirds found in Redwood County just south of the Goldmine Bridge 2 miles east of Delhi. Also new for count day were Northern Shrike and Red-breasted Nuthatch. Eastern Bluebird was present last year during count week but not on count day.
