I and the Bird

It's the last I and the Bird until next year, and it's a fabulous presentation by Jeff Gordon over at his self-named blog, Jeffrey A Gordon, Birds and More. He says:

For this edition of I and the Bird, I’ve imagined that a hardy collection of bird bloggers has all gotten together for a Christmas Bird Count. Now the hard work of the day is done, and we’re all gathered together to share our observations. Pour yourself an eggnog, grab a spot by the fire, and let us tell you all the wonderful things we found.

Christmas Counts, for all their carefully controlled repetition, always produce surprises, which is a big part of what makes them so addictive.
