Although the species count of 43 was the same as the 10-year average and the total number of birds (2,373) almost identical to 1938, Diane Weismiller said the unusual sightings and the absence of some normal winter visitors to the area. One of the former was a yellow rumped warbler. While common enough in the spring § oe and summer, she pointed out : * eat “It doesn’t usually show up ina Diane Weismiller Christmas count.’? The last time was five years ago, she add- ed. Similarly, a number of tree sparrows were spotted, the first since 1983. . And while Canada geese and juncos regularly showed up in the count, Weismiller noted their numbers were considerably greater this year. In contrast, birds like red crossbills which the observers would normally expect to see were missing this year. Weismiller suggested these birds had remained further north or at higher elevations this year because of the moderate temperatures. Weismiller said the results of the count would be forwarded to American Birds, part of the National Audubon Society, and would appear in its annual publication detailing results from alk North American Boxing Day counts.
