Hello Birders,
While the over all number of individual birds was down the five teams
consisting of 13 counters had a good day of birding while conducting the
Blackford Christmas Bird count in Russell County on New Years Day. The
counters enjoyed an excellent meal afterwards at the home of Jerry and Jane
Thornhill a big thanks to them for their great hospitality and especially to
Jane for the great tasting Gumbo and Red Beans and rice. What a way to finish
off a great day with good friends. There was 68 species seen with two new
