[redcliffs] St. George CBC

[kevin wheeler]

All:
If you didn't participate in the St. George CBC today, you missed out.  
Although you may have been sick.  In which case, it's probably better that 
you stayed home, and wished that you were out birding.
A total of 96 species were observed.  Good birds reported included two 
Ross's Goose (Springs Park and St. George Golf Club Pond), five Wood Ducks 
(a pair was on the St. George Golf Club Pond, others were in the north end 
of Bloomington). Two Peregrine Falcons (Washington Area), 7 Vermilion 
Flycatchers (one near Riverside drive, others in Bloomington).  Of 
particular note is that the hundreds of crows that were here a month ago 
have dissapeared - only seven were counted.  Eurasian Collared Doves are 
plentiful now - 445 counted.  And the species on the count with the highest 
numbers - no, not European Starlings, House Sparrows, or even White-crowned 
Sparrows - American Coots - 2,266 total.
