Caroline County Maryland's 2012 Christmas Bird Count Results

Steve Westre's report -

I noticed in the regional summaries for last year's Xmas count that the MD/DE summary listed the Black-headed Grosbeak that Bill Miller saw at his feeder in Denton as the best bird of the whole region.

Thanks for participating!
