Special Aspects for Count Circle
Abnormally warm temperatures attributed to many common species having a high
number for this CBC circle. Also this count is still relatively young.
This year's count is dedicated to Howard Langridge who passed away in
November of 2004. He was a tremendous birder, known from Florida to Tennessee,
and
was our bird dog for Quarry bog in Shady Valley. He produced the LeConte's
Sparrow and provided hours of humerous conversation on the really cold counts.
This
count missed Howard deeply.
