After 8 straight days of CBCs, I finally have a chance to look at the data from
my counts.
We conducted the 24th running of the Matagorda County Christmas Bird Count on
Monday 19 December.
Sub-freezing temps and 15 mph winds made it uncomfortable for the birds and
birders alike.

Community Center.
Pacific Loon
Swainson's Hawk
Purple Gallinule
Am. Golden-Plover
Com. Poor-Will
