“The first official Anderson River Park Christmas Bird Count was awesome!”, reads the opening line of Rob’s CBC report, and was it ever! We all had a great time bird watching and counting in some super locations. We had a total species count of 123! To read the complete report go to: Anderson River Park CBC
Unfortunately I was not able to take part in the Fall River CBC but it was a great success this year. You can get the full story and all the particulars here: Fall River Mills CBC . They had a total count of 119 species!
Male Broad-billed Hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris)
photo by Gregg Scott
I found this photo by Gregg Scott on the Science Blogs site and he actually had a link to a desktop wallpaper size photo that you can download here Hummer . This is one of the coolest wallpapers I have (and I have lots of ‘um). The Science Blogs site had lots of cool info on birds too so I put a link to their site in my blogroll. Go check them out and download Gregg’s Hummingbird wallpaper and go to Gregg Scott’s website to see some great bird photography.
Ruby-crowned Kinglet photo by Doug Greenberg
Take a good look at this photo of the Ruby-crowned Kinglet because, chances are, you will never get this good a look at this bird in the wild but maybe for a split second, and that’s on a good birding day!
