Good morning,

     We ended up with a record high species count, not only for 4 Rivers CBC, but an all time high count for Missouri!  An astounding 112 species!

      Highlights included, first count records for Am. Woodcock & Bonaparte’s Gull.  2^nd records for Great Egret, Inca Dove, and N. Saw-whet Owl.  3rd for Eastern Phoebe & Sedge Wren.

      Of course, the dearth of Red-headed Woodpeckers was quite noteworthy.

     Congratulations and thanks to everyone for making this a highly successful count! 

Happy Holidays,
