SV-AUDUBON CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT Snapshot! 
A standing room only crowd of over 150 birders from 12 counties descended on the fifth annual Sonoma Valley Audubon Christmas Bird Count Tabulation Celebration at the Sonoma Community Center's Andrews Hall.  A blue moon at midnight and high tides kicked off the Sonoma Valley CBC with over 34 birding teams scouring the countryside on New Years morning.  The moderate weather progressed into an afternoon of foggy rain and drizzle but the birders rallied and their citizen science effort successfully produced an unofficially count of 170 species including a few species never before recorded in the circle. (Yellow-headed Black Bird & Swamp Sparrow). This inland bird count has recorded over 155 species annually ranking it among the very top of the 2,100 CBC's in America.
 What a wonderful New Year's Day...rain and all...that you and our feathered friends arranged for us! Thank You!
