[TN-Bird] John W Sellars Lebanon Christmas Count

Here are the results of our Christmas Count. This is an "unofficial" count  
as we do not have enough field observers to meet the National Standard, but we  
do follow the requirements of counting within a circular area. Our thanks to  
everyone who contributed. Ralph and Kay Brinkhurst, Lebanon, Wilson Co.

TOTAL 56  SPECIES
Boxwell Reserve was open to us this year but did not provide many species  
records, apart from the Ruby-crowned Kinglet. We missed several ducks, 
Killdeer, 
 owls, Chipping Sparrow, Cowbird, Grackle and Purple Finch from recent 
Christmas  counts. The warm weather may be the cause of this. We also only had 
one 
person  on feeder watch for a brief period.
