Preliminary results from yesterday's Bloomington Christmas Bird Count were not too exciting. Turkey numbers were up, but Cedar Waxwing and Goldfinch numbers were definitely off. We did not find much open water and waterfowl. Somebody reported a small number of Redpolls, which is a good predictor for other counts seeing that they made this far south already. Our team had a wonderful count finding a Red-shoulder, Sharp-shinned, and Goshawk, as well as a Swamp Sparrow.
