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, the=
re was rain which I thought it would help this count, but I fear the high g=
usts 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 u=
nusual birds) and lower numbers (except for Song Sparrow which broke the hi=
gh count for the species) make the count itself unusual this year.
