On December 20th, we participated in the Longmont Christmas Bird Count with Maggie Boswell and Deanna Williams. Peter Gent joined us for part of the day. Our area was Hwy 66 on the north, Hwy 36 on the west, Nelson Road on the south, and 75th St. on the east. Most of our area was rural, agricultural lands which included parts of the St. Vrain River and some ponds, most of which were frozen. The weather was freezing, but sunny. It was much more pleasant in the weather department than the Boulder Bird Count!
