I love Christmas Bird Counts!
 
This was the year of the Pileated Woodpecker in our neck of the  woods.  I've 
seen 6 of them at various counts during the CBC  season. 
 
The oddest bird found on the Albert Lea Count, for which I am the  compiler, 
was a pelican.  It was found in a dry road ditch.   It  was injured, but had a 
punch that would have made Ali proud.  I haven't  heard from the rehabber as 
to how it is doing.
 
Christmas Bird Counts!  What a joy to hang out with such fine  folks and 
feathers.   



May  happiness be your shadow,

Al Batt
Freeborn County
