[Beckhambc@xxxxxxx]

It was a cold,snowy day for the 29 participants who took part in the 
Louisville Bird Count on Sunday, December 14.  To make matters worse there were 
3.3-inches of snow on the ground.  The group tallied 89 species the same as 
last 
year with a total individual count of 31,845.  This was an increase of about 
15,000 over last year due to the count of - you guess it- the ubiquitous 
Startling.

Some highlights were  2 Palm warblers, 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch, 2 Lapland 
Longspurs, 21 Wilson Snipe, 91 Chipping Sparrows, 327 Song Sparrows, 6 Pine 
Siskins, 175 American Pipits, 2651 Robins, 2 Peregrine Falcons.

Thanks to all who participated in this year's count.

Happy Holidays to everyone and Good Birding in 2004!
