The Seneca Christmas Bird Count results are now (finally!) online. Here are some highlights -- Species: 103 (down from 107 last year - mostly due to missing duck species and lack of winter finches). Participants: 115! (up from 102). We recruited a goodly number of new observers; all reports are that the new people fit in and contributed well to the effort. Unusual species: Peregrine Falcon, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Wilson's Warbler. Notable high counts: Pied-billed Grebe (54, vs. a ten-year high of 16) Common Snipe (27, vs. 3) American Pipit (170, vs. 129) Palm Warbler (27, vs. 21) Some misses on stuff we ALWAYS get: Gadwall, Common Merganser.
