The 29th annual Lake Tawakoni Christmas Bird Count is slated for Saturday Dec. 29. This years count could be interesting for all the wrong reasons-the drought. The ongoing drought and how it effects the count will be of interest to me as well as some of the other counters. I still need help in areas away from Lake Tawakoni and could use a couple of more people to work the area around Lake Tawakoni State Park. We will meet around 7:00 am at J's Chevron in Edgewood to hand out the assignments and finish the count with a dinner at the Lumber Yard Cafe on the eastern edge of Edgewood. Last year we tallied 133 species and those of us whom have done this count for years look forward to this years results.
