The Louisville CBC took place on December 23, 2007. It was postponed from last Sunday due to weather conditions but yesterday wasn't much better. It was raining, snowing, sleeting, sunny, and WINDY. Our group tallied 82 species and 13,826 birds. We had more birds than last year due to more Starlings. Overall the numbers were low because of the lack of natural food.
