Nunn CBC Results and Rescheduling Pawnee NG-East CBC/Weld

[The "Nunn Guy"]

Hi all

First, rescheduling this Saturday's Pawnee National Grassland-East CBC because of upcoming snowstorm, New Raymer-area is looking at 3-6 inches and blizzard-like winds. We will conduct the Pawnee National Grassland-East CBC Thursday, January 2nd, meet 0830 at the cafe in New Raymer (south side of Hwy 14).

The Nunn CBC had a large turnout of people, and the greatest weather EVER! ... unfortunately birds were historically low in numbers with species close to normal.

Highlights were:

• We found two Rough-legged Hawk ;-)
• Common Raven - 28 (record!) most found at a cow carcass, competing with a Golden Eagle
• Lapland Longspur - 6
• Ring-necked Pheasant - 1 (rare for this count)
• Beating the averages: Bald Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk, Rock Pigeon, Eurasian-collared Dove, Northern Flicker, American Kestrel, Black-billed Magpie, American Crow, European Starling, Dark-eyed Junco, and Western Meadowlark

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
