Special Aspects for Count Circle

Weather in East Tennessee have been unseasonable warm over the past couple of 
weeks before and including the count date. The day before the count, there was 
rain which I thought it would help this count, but I fear the high gusts of 
winds helped to keep this year's count down with the lowest numbers in the 
count history. No unusual birds (we usually get at least a couple unusual 
birds) and lower numbers (except for Song Sparrow which broke the high count 
for the species) make the count itself unusual this year.
