I do apologize for this, not least because the reasonable deadline for winter regional bird reports has so long passed. However, an Excel spreadsheet with mile-by-mile counts and comparative aggregate figures for the four years of the count, and a report, are available by email on request to mikemilton@attglobal.net. Some highlights of the Fourth Annual count were: nice weather for the first time; most coverage (178+ miles); most participants (118); most species (91); most birds (23K, with two asterisks), and seven species new to to the count --DC Cormorant, RH Woodpecker, Bob-White, Pheasant, Savannah Sparrow, Fox Sparrow, Cowbird.
