Merry Christmas and greetings to all,

We are missing a few of our usual Christmas counters for this year, but I think the count circle is pretty well covered. As I write this, the snow is still falling steadily. If you are participating in the count tomorrow, please don’t take any chances with your personal safety. Depending on what the weather does, driving and walking may present challenges. Just do what you can do without risk and keep track of your mileage and hours. If it’s too hard to do much walking the number of walking hours will be down and the number of birds found will reflect that. That’s why we keep track of the effort expended. It’s not worth frostbite, injury or car accidents. Be safe. Good luck, I hope you all have fun and find interesting birds.
