Special Aspects for Count Circle:
While the temperatures were slightly above normal for the high elevation
valley, the heavy rain that arrived during lunch combined with the light
rain that afternoon and the snow that was already on the ground, lowered
most numbers of species by half. Although some species weren't affected by
the snow/rain. Blue Jay, Wild Turkey, and White-throated Sparrow had good
showing with high count numbers. Also House Finch and Eastern Towhee were
found in almost high count numbers. Hairy Woodpecker has a poor showing with
only one individual found.
