Fountain Creek CBC Wednesday Dec. 16th results

[Diana Beatty]

The Fountain Creek Christmas Bird Count occurred this past Wednesday on one of the nicer weather days this week, although it was still chilly with a decent amount of ice and snow around.

We tallied 85 species and 2 additional count week species (so far) with 7883 individuals, which appears to be fairly average for this count.

Some of our fun sightings included:  American Dipper (new for the count), Eastern Bluebirds returning after an absence of a few years, and 41 Canyon Towhees (a new count high).  A notable miss was Rough-legged Hawk.

41 canyon towhees! Amazing. One was seen in the Loveland CBC circle in Larimer on Dec 15. Hope it stays for count on Jan 1. First December record for Larimer County.
