Hi Paul,
Nice job this morning!
For those of you who didn't catch it, he did a great job describing and
promoting the Christmas Count. The podcast should be available soon on the
WHCU website, under Your Turn.

We still have Hummers at the feeder, drinking deeply to stoke up. We know
they're "ours" since they are very tame and hover over our heads while we read
on the deck!Beautiful day, too!Carol S.

Yesterday morning, while watching the Red-throated Loon by the white

We took this shot this afternoon, (from about 6 ft. away, through glass and
screen), of "our" guy! He spends his a lot of each day in the trees over our
deck, and plunging in the water.

Loons were everywhere on the lake today. The best part is their music --
constant calling back and forth to each other, starting before first light and
continuing into the evening.

If we get clear skies in the next few nights, watch for the Taurid meteors.
This year could be another good show.

These reports are very worrisome. Fortunately, this year we have a fairly
usual supply of Hummers, Tree Swallows and other named species at our cottage
(near Long Point).
But -- remember at night when moths used to flutter at windows in great
numbers? When did you last see that?

We had a female Redwing at our feeders yesterday. Isn't this a bit early, or

Just hung the hummingbird feeder at our lakeside, Aurora-area cottage, and was
dive-bombed by a handsome male hummer. Our last earliest record was May 3rd.

Iagree with Sandy. The Jan. 1stdate for the count has its origins with Doc

this has worked for years.
All of our data is based on thisdate so I would think that consistency would
have value. (Kevin?) Until rece
