Hi, 

We held the Land Between The Lakes CBC this past Saturday, Dec. 14th.  19 
people participated, and came up with a total of 97 species (I think Cackling 
Goose is now recognized as a distinct species?).  It was a strange weather day 
-- rainy and very foggy in the morning, turning to overcast, cold and windy as 
the day went on. The ground was still icy in some patches from last week's 
sleet storm, but muddy in other places from the 3/4-inch of rain we got Friday 
night into Saturday morning.  But there were good chunks of time when the 
weather was pretty pleasant, and the birds seemed to be active during those 
nice spells.   Much thanks to everyone who helped!  Here is our list:
