2009 Caroline County Christmas Bird Count Results

Steve Westre, our Christmas Count compiler reports the following:

We're going to cut down the number of snow geese since there is most certainly double counting. Looks like we got 92 species--a normal year. The one number that was really exceptional was the number of Robins we saw--3290. We've been in the 400's before but never broke 500.
