I didn't get a chance to participate in an Audubon CBC, but I did my own count over the Christmas holiday... my sister lives west of Robert Lee, Texas, not far from E.V. Spence Reservoir... that's where I went for Christmas this year... it's a wonderful place to watch birds... here's the list for this year:
northern cardinal red-bellied woodpecker house finch red-winged blackbird tufted titmouse American goldfinch house sparrow white-crowned sparrow cactus wren white-winged dove Wilson's warbler house wren curve-billed thrasher golden-fronted woodpecker Inca dove red-tailed hawk western meadowlark ring-billed gull European starling American crow sandhill crane mourning dove
The golden-fronted woodpecker was a new bird for me, a "lifer"..
I also got to observe an armadillo as it rooted in the mud for grubs or worms or whatever critters they like to eat...
