Nine birders participated in the count, which was held later than usual this
year: between 6:30 and 9:30 a.m., Saturday March 1, 2003. This was several
people short of the level needed for all the usual areas to be covered. There
was no wind at 6:30 a.m., and the temperature started out at about 30°F.
Despite the low people count and the presence of foggy, cool, damp conditions,
52 species of birds were reported. As always, thanks to Mary Arginteanu and
Larry Robinson for coordinating the event, providing the coffee, and allowing
the use of their house. And thanks to everyone who brought the delicious
breakfast goodies. Yum!
Highlights of the count were: Osprey, Sharp-shinned and Red-shouldered Hawks;
a Barred Owl in a hole previously occupied by a raccoon in the Wetlands; a
Brown Creeper; huge numbers of American Robins, including one albino robin; and
a Rusty Blackbird.
