[cobirds] North Jeffco CBC

On December 18th, the North Jeffco CBC was held on a chilly but very nice day.    Once again, we had a very successful count, seeing 107 species, which beat our record of 106! This year, the birding seemed to be slower than in the past counts.  That being said, the count was still successful because of the skill and energy everyone brought to count day. This count has only been in existence for six years and the engagement and committment gets better every year.  A huge thank you to the skilled leaders and everyone who participated. Let us know if you want to join this great count next year.
