North Jeffco CBC

[MARK CHAVEZ]

On December 14th, the North Jeffco CBC was held on a beautiful winter day.    Once again, we had a very successful count, seeing a suprising 111 species, which beat our record of 107! We had a very good year for owls including 8 Saw Whet, and 2 Pygmy Owl (Thanks Chris W).  This year, lacked the rarities that occured in past counts.  That being said, the count was still successful because of the skill, committment, and energy everyone brought to count day. This count has only been in existence for seven years and the engagement and committment gets better every year.  A huge thank you to the skilled leaders and everyone who participated. Let us know if you want to join this great count next year.
