Hi all,

Here are some preliminary results from the Madison CBC (there are still 
a few areas that have not yet reported).

Rare Birds:
Barrow's Goldeneye--1st time on count
Count Week (for now/seen on Friday near Gov. Nelson SP) Red-necked 
Grebe--never seen before on the count
American Pipit--3rd time on count (Lake Mendota, Middleton)
Thayer's Gull--B1 bird--3rd time on count--James Madison Park, Lake Mendota
2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls--8th time on count--out from BB Clarke 
Beach, Lake Monona
Black-crowned  Night-Heron--3rd time on count--off Bridge Road, Lake Monona
Cackling Goose
Trumpeter Swan
Merlin--8th time on count--somewhere in Middleton and on the grounds of 
the Central WI Center on the northeast side

Less Common Birds:
Common Loon--3--Lakes Monona and Mendota
Long-tailed Duck--Lake Monona
Northern Saw-whet Owl--in the conifers northeast of Mendota Mental 
Health--heard only--the "fall vocalization"--not "toot-toot"
YB Sapsucker
Carolina Wren--6 of them
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Brown Thrasher--along the northeast shore of frozen Lake Mendota

95 species is the record total for the Madison CBC--notable & 
potentially get-able misses:
Greater White-fronted Goose--Andy P, did you see one from your house today?
A. Wigeon
Pine Siskin
Brown-headed Cowbird
Horned Grebe
Glaucous Gull
Great  Black-backed Gull
Pileated Woodpecker
any scoters--scoters pushed through Madison in late October and have not 
been seen since--they have been replaced by far more unexpected sea 
ducks (Barrow's Goldeneye and Long-tailed Duck)

If anyone sees any unusual species/species in the missed list around 
Madison in the next few days please report them to me as soon as possible.

Thanks!
