Happy New Year's Birders, a better day for dening with the bears with this 
snow storm.  I had 16 species at my yard and Black ducks still on the open 
water of Otter Creek.   A quick trip to my  folks house in Rochester yielded 
another 9 species. It has been quite a while since I have seen so many 
Chickadees in one yard, 52, also 7 Red Polls.  Pine Grosbeaks in 
Wallingford, Rutland, Forestdale and Rochester.  Rock Pigeons, Starlings and 
7 Brown-headed Cowbirds at the neighbors farm. Rough-legged Hawk and 
Red-tailed Hawk on Route 7.
