Christmas Bird Counts!

[mollymjacobson]

For several years now I’ve participated both in my hometown’s circle (where I am just one of three people doing it) and the circle where my alma mater is (where there’s more like a dozen!). The latter requires an hour of driving in the dark and usually icy conditions each way but I’m too attached to the area to ever stop! That circle tends to get some more interesting finds but I feel like doing my hometown is also my duty, so both it is! After all, it’s for science, so just doing the interesting spots doesn’t make for good standardized data.
