Hi All,
Ten hearty souls participated in the Crook CBC on the 29th. We had 74 species (third highest) and 55,323 individuals (2nd highest). The most uncommon were two Common Grackles in the town of Crook. Interesting high numbers include Cackling Goose: 13,510, Turkey: 95, Ferruginous Hawk: 15 and Horned Lark: 7373. We had the usual NE Platte valley suspects; Eastern Bluebird, Northern Cardinal and Red-bellied Woodpecker. There were eight Black-capped Chickadees. This is notable because they have been absent since West Nile virus invaded. We had two last year so the trend is up! In light of all the redpolls in CO this year I thought we would see a few but were only able to scrounge one. All in all a fun time, especially the Stripped Skunk that entertained everyone at the end of the day.
