Added Fox Sparrow - the count number is still 62 as it was counted off the card and not off the email list. Sorry for any confusion. Premlinary List for Shady Valley / Mountain City CBC Here is a preliminary list for the Shady Valley / Mountain City CBC I encourage all party leaders / members to check my numbers to yours to ensure the accuracy of my compilation. Since the Audubon server is down, this is a great opportunity to check the numbers I have received to make sure I transferred them correctly. A dash(-) means party did not list the species. The count included Shady Valley (the Valley proper) and the areas between and including parts of Mountain City. The order of the following is thus: (listed by party leaders): Ron Carrico - Wallace Coffey - Don Holt - Rick Knight = TOTAL Great Blue Heron 1 - - 1 = 2 American Black Duck - - 1 - = 1 Canada Goose 14 13 60 14 = 101 Mallard 4 - 8 10 = 22 Cooper's Hawk 1 - - 1 = 2 Sharp-shinned Hawk - 1 - 1 = 2 Red-shouldered Hawk - 1 - - = 1 Red-tailed Hawk 4 2 1 1 = 8 American Kestrel - 1 1 1 = 3 Black Vulture - - 5 2 = 7 Turkey Vulture 1 9 19 4 = 33 Wild Turkey 6 - 10 - = 16 Killdeer - - 2 11 = 13 Mourning Dove 9 78 11 75 = 173 Rock Pigeon - - 3 9 = 12 Barn Own 1 - - - = 1 Barred Owl 4 - - - = 4 Eastern Screech Owl 2 - - 2 = 4 Great Horned Owl 2 - 2 2 = 6 Belted Kingfisher - - 6 2 = 8 Northern Flicker 1 3 3 3 = 10 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 1 2 2 - = 5 Downy Woodpecker 4 9 4 5 = 22 Hairy Woodpecker 2 6 2 - = 10 Pileated Woodpecker 1 5 8 4 = 18 Red-bellied Woodpecker 1 3 2 4 = 10 Eastern Phoebe 3 - 2 1 = 6 American Crow 348 86 71 310 = 815 (The crow number may be a little high as Ron's and Wallace's crows could be in both - I am open to suggestions here, Wallace?
