The Savannah TN CBC was conducted January 3. I still have not heard from one party, but we have already tallied 99 species. Highlights included Greater Scaup (Savannah sewage ponds), Lesser Black-backed Gull (Pickwick Dam), Common Ground-Dove (northern loop of Crunk Rd., Savannah Bottoms, DeLorme p. 17, D7) and 2 Fish Crows (below Pickwick Dam). Notable usuals included 10 woodcock (an advantage of warm weather-75 degrees), 2 Short-eared Owls (Hamburg Rd. south of Shiloh), 4 Brown-headed Nuthatches (TVA Campground), 7 Palm Warblers (3 parties), 21 Vesper Sparrows (3 parties), 2 Lincoln's Sparrows, 3 Lapland Longspurs, 18 Brewer's Blackbirds, 13 Purple Finches and 33 Pine Siskins. Regulars missed so far include most puddle ducks (found only Wood Duck, Mallard and Shoveler), Bufflehead, Merlin, Shrike, Red-breasted Nuthatch, House, Marsh and Sedge Wrens, and LeConte's Sparrow.
