Has taken me several days to get these results compiled . . . .
December 29, 2002; 8 observers in 4 parties; 63 species. The weather for
count day was excellent, but a lack of waterfowl and less-than-normal
participation resulted in a below-average species total.
The only highlight rarity for the count was a Ross's Goose in the company of
a flock of domestic geese in SW Meade County (this species SURE has a
penchant for big, loud, ugly geese!). A couple of other nice birds included
a Bald Eagle (near the nest on the Ohio River at the park) and a Brown
Thrasher. Otherwise, mostly the typical rural farmland birds were
encountered. Conspicuous by their absence on this count -- as was the case
for some other counts that regularly have many -- were Red-breasted
Nuthatches and Purple Finches.
