[cobirds] Black Forest CBC

The Black Forest CBC counted 1948 birds of 39 species; average 1748 birds, 38 species.  Our 25 observers went out in 13 partis. 
    Two new top counts: 75 Red-breasted nuthatches - way above prior high of 35; 217 Red Crossbills - more than  double previous high of 130.
Besides that, some minor peaks  29 flickers (previous high 23, ave. 19); 26 ravens (= previous high)
    We always enjoy this count, as well as our other CBCs.

Starting this year, Jeannie Mitchell will run the count.
