Covered the home turf once again for this year's NH Coastal Christmas Bird Count (CBC). A brief return home midday for wife's homemade soup powered me through. Nice day to be outside. 39 species ----------- Canada Goose--56 Mallard--278 (Little River never disappoints. Perhaps I stayed a little too long feeling quite ducky there) American Black Duck--9 Green-winged Teal--1 Wild Turkey--11 Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon)--47 Mourning Dove--23 Ring-billed Gull--13 American Herring Gull--3 Turkey Vulture--16 (last year I had 47!, with 4 Black Vultures!! Alas, they may have found another site) Bald Eagle--1 Red-tailed Hawk--1 Great Horned Owl--2, quite vocal at 3:30AM from Exeter Country Club (been very vocal the past week--neighborhood kids love hearing 'em) Red-bellied Woodpecker--4 Downy Woodpecker--9 Hairy Woodpecker--1 Blue Jay--11 American Crow--9 Common Raven--3 (the resident bird in our 'hood is a riot!
