As NE is one of the neighboring states, I though this might be of some interest to MO birders. If it's not, please delete the message. Ross Silcock, Tommie Rogers and I participated in two CBCs in western Nebraska. Here are some highlights that our group observed at these two counts. Scottsbluff CBC (12/18/04): Northern goshawk Barrow's goldeneye Wild turkey Northern (red-shafted) flicker White-breasted nuthatch Red-breasted buthatch Pygmy nuthatch Brown creeper Cedar waxwing Bohemian waxwing Townsend's solitaire Pine siskin Dark-eyed junco White-winged Pink-sided Oregon Slate-backed Lapland longspur Lake Maconaughy CBC (12/19/04): Golden eagle Ferruginous hawk Ring-billed gull Herring gull Thayer's gull (2nd w) Iceland gull (2nd w) Glaucous gull (1st w) California gull White-winged scoter Greater scoup Lesser scoup, other divers Ruddy duck Common merganser Red-breasted merganser Virginia rail (4) Northern (red-shafted and yellow-shafted) flickers Black-billed magpie Brown creeper Cedar waxwing Bohemian waxwing (66) Townsend's solitaire Pine siskin Brewer's blackbird We had a good time!
