Highlights were: Snow Goose (2), Wood and Black Duck, Wild Turkey, Horned Owl, Lapland Longspur in two locations (Lilypons Rd. and Greenfield Rd.), Snow Bunting (single female in large lark flock on Lilypons Rd.), Fox, Tree and White-crowned Sparrows, Phoebe, Killdeer, and decent numbers of Bluebirds. In low numbers (or missing) were accipiters, Snipe, any warblers including Yellow-rumped, or any "half-hardies" at all, robins also low. We couldn't relocate the Gray Catbird seen in Lilypons earlier in count week.
