Crook CBC

[Steve Larson]

Hello All,

The Crook CBC was held Saturday the 21st. We had eight observers out and about on what turned out to be a very nice day for late December.

Birds of interest included Trumpeter Swan, Iceland (Thayer's) Gull and Glaucous Gull. All were new to the count.

The numbers of Snow Geese were astounding with about 85,000 present on the lake at one time! VERY LOUD!

Black-capped Chickadees were seen again after several years of absence due to West Nile.

Other species of note were Brown-headed Cowbird, California Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull and Greater White-fronted Goose.

We totaled 82 species (second highest total) and 113808 individuals (new high) thanks to all of the Snow Geese. 

All in all a very good time!
