The last report I sent out yesterday on the Shady Valley_Mountain City CBC was
a bit hard to read because of coding that was copied and pasted by accident.
This version should be easier to read. Also, with help from Ron Hoff, A few
mistakes corrected.

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 species numbers in
the count history. No unusual birds but we did add one bird this year to the
count. In Shady Valley at Orchard Bog the Nature Conservancy is restoring this
bog area to its original bog state and with the help of a beaver dam, we have a
new water area. This area produced a Pied-billed Grebe which is on the count
for the first time. Seemingly lower individual numbers this year (except for
Song Sparrow, Belted Kingfisher, Field Sparrow, and Northern Mockingbird which
broke the high count for the species) make the count itself unusual this year.
