Six birders in three teams worked the 9th Flagler CBC. It was a hot (63 degrees), dry day on the plains with little bird activity. At only 30, we had the lowest number of species by 10%. Most of the species we observed were of the "every-year" variety; we even missed one of those (TOSO) and had all-time lows for 4 of our 30 species. Golden Eagle and Mourning Dove, and a fly-over flock of 90 Canada Geese were probably our best birds. Flagler gives a good idea of what birds are on the dry plains outside of the two major river corridors.
