The Great Smoky Mountains CBC was held on Saturday December 22. Twenty field
observers in 10 parties and 5 feeder watchers recorded 68 species. The
highlights included the first Brown-headed nuthatch on the count, a male Wood
duck, Great-horned, Barred and Northern saw-whet owls, and 4 Bald eagles. The
day was overcast with light snow in the morning and temperatures between
30-45f. Snow and ice closed the Newfound Gap Road (US 441) through the park and
prevented birding in the higher elevations of the park. Warren
