The 14th annual Mayo River CBC was held on Monday December 22, 2025 under
clear skies, a frigid cold start of 24 degrees and warming to 51 but the
birds sure didn’t think it was a good day to be out. Lots of empty skies
and fields.
8 counters in six parties found 65 species (average of 73, high 78, low 56)
Misses include Wood Duck, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Northern harrier, Rock
Pigeon, Barred Owl, Red-headed Woodpecker, American Kestrel, Gray Catbird,
American Pipit, Pine Warbler, Field Sparrow!, Red-winged Blackbird, Eastern
Meadowlark, Common Grackle and Brown-headed Cowbird.
We set high counts for two species at least, with 2 Bufflehead and 6 Rusty
Blackbird.
