Last year the Flagler CBC set the national record for most Lapland longspurs with only 4 teams in the field.

Can we do it again? Join us this coming Saturday and be part of a record setting team effort.

We meet Saturday, Dec 24 at the I-70 diner in Flagler at 8AM to divide into teams.

We reconvene at 1PM to compile our tally.

Please let me know if you plan to attend!

Let me heartily endorse Doug's Chamber of Commerce sell of the Flagler CBC.  (Confession moment here--I started this count.)

It is really wonderful to be part of claiming a National High for a species.  I think the Flagler CBC has managed that crown for Lapland Longspur three times in its 12 or so years since the count started.  All it takes is really rotten weather!  And, you should have that this year.

But brave it out.  Head out to Flagler and find some Lapland Longspurs.  You really won't have to spend much time out of your vehicle.  And the lunch at the I-70 Diner (one of Joe Roller's favorites) is certainly hearty.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it.  I will be in North Pinellas County, Florida preparing for our 12/26 CBC (we were 53^rd in the country last year with 156 species.  But I digress, and who's making the COC sell now?)

Anyone planning to attend the Rawhide CBC on Dec 31 must let me know ASAP if they want to access the power station property.

I have to submit a form requesting access permission, so if you hope to see the large concentration of waterfowl in the cooling pond let me know now!
