I have had the experience on quite a few Christmas Counts recently, esp staying out after dark owling. Remember a few years ago driving in the gloom and fog on the north tract of the Patuxent Refuge and the headlights illuminating lots of bats. Don't want to jump to conclusions and blame global warming, but is seems that sone species that used to show up on Christmas Count don't show up until mid-winter counts, if at all.
