I’d say Tufted Duck and Black Vulture were significant rarities!

Thanks for your work, Paul.

Happy New Year to everyone!

As many of you already know, we had the compilation meeting on January 2nd. 
Below is a summary of the results. Anyone who wants to see the full gory 
details can look at the spreadsheet at 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1idhZGODnoTHzDGT80ELsBKWU8JOd2MY6x25fvSXYlq0/edit?usp=sharing.

Caveat: we're still working on this, so some of the numbers will change, mostly 
those that involve birds seen on the lake.

161 people spent 360 hours covering about 600 miles of ground.

97 species on the day. So far there are these count week species: Ross's Goose, 
Wood Duck, Fish Crow. There were no significant rarities.

High counts: Gadwall, Wigeon, Lesser Scaup, Ruddy Duck, Common Loon, Red-necked 
Grebe, Black Vulture, Turkey Vulture, Cooper's Hawk, Bald Eagle, Lesser 
Black-backed Gull, Peregrine Falcon, Common Raven, Hermit Thrush.

No record low counts, although the House Sparrow count was almost there.

41,181 individual birds.

Thanks to everyone who helped, especially the area leaders, Stephanie, and 
Matt. Also thanks to Kevin and Jay for furnishing photos used in the 
presentation.
