The tenth Fall Bird Count (FBC) in Putnam County was conducted September 19 with 123 species found within that one-county area. A Fall BirdBlitz--a count not expected to be repeated annually--was held in Clay County September 26 during rain that persisted from before dawn to mid-afternoon, and 88 species were located. The best bird found during the Putnam County FBC was a Least Bittern by Barb Stedman, and the best bird found during the Clay County BirdBlitz was an American Avocet by Winston Walden, Mike O'Rouke, and JD Becker. Totals for these counts may be found at this page of my website: http://iweb.tntech.edu/sstedman/FallBirdCountUCR2009.htm Links to pages with results by party are located at this page.
