Greetings All: The White River Lake Christmas Bird Count is still in rather desperate need of counters - we currently have only six folk to cover the circle and we usually have ten to fourteen. I have attempted to compensate by reducing the number of areas to four, instead of five, but that has left two teams with but a single member. This count promises to be quite interesting as relatively mild weather has permitted many birds to remain in our area rather later than usual, we are experience irruptive events across several groups of birds, and the ongoing drought has made the few remaining bodies of water in the region - such as White River Lake - highly attractive to a very diverse group of birds. If you are interested in filling out one of the teams - or helping me to resplit back out to five areas - please get in touch with me at terrverts@xxxxxxxxx or at 806-252-1213.
