[obol] Antone Winter Bird Count results 18 Dec 2006

[Lars and Gail Norgren]

      I very much favor "Christmas"Bird Count
because it really is late autumn. The Nashville
Warbler, Tree Swallow, Common Yellowthroat all
seen in Coos Bay strike me as half-hardies that
are unlikely to be detected a month from now.
They've either moved on or died. Lars Norgren
