Christmas Bird Count

I joined bird-nerds Rory and young Nelson for this year's Christmas bird count in Revelstoke. I took plenty of fuzzy far-away photos of birds, but I'll spare you the 'try and spot the bird among the sticks' photos. I did get some good shots of our local peaks at sunrise.

Birds we spotted and could actually identify:
Common Raven: 20
American Crow: 35
Northern Flicker: 11
European Starling: 30
Pine Siskin: 19
Song Sparrow: 1
American Robin: 2
Red Breasted Nuthatch: 4
Evening Grosbeak: 19
Black Capped Chickadee: 8
Chestnut-backed Chickadee: 2
Isa Brown Chickens: 6
Merlin: 1
American Goldfinch: 9
Stellars Jay: 3
Brewers Blackbird: 2
House Finch: 8
Bald Eagle: 2
