Thanks so much, Dave! Unfortunately no Bushtits, Mtn. Bluebirds, Am. Robins or Ferruginous Hawks - this time; but here are our totals for Spanish Peaks (which, inSpanish Peaks birders braved icy winds but tallied
46 species, 6th best of 20 counts.
Two new birds were added to the Count: a long
overdue Sharp-shinned Hawk and a White-winged
Dove. Both were in Beverly Jensen's yard.
Thanks Beverly!Count highs include 64 E. Collared Doves,
23 Lewis' Woodpeckers, 7 Spotted Towhees,
and 117 Pine Siskin.Thanks also to Tom Doerk for a warm place to have
our lunch & his Gray-crowned Rosy Finches.Other birds of interest were Belted Kingfisher and
Rock Wren, both reported only for the second time
on this Count.
