Dec. 31, 2011 Roxburough Canyon State Park CBC

Today was a miserably fun CBC at Roxburough Canyon State Park.  Miserable because the whole day was spent out in freezing wind, fun because we saw many neat birds and had a very awesome and fun group to bird with! We had seven people in our group, including our awesome last-minute-group-leader Leanne(sorry if I spelled that wrong!) and also some fairly new to birding members! Hope this count encouraged them all to pursue this awesome hobb  In all, we saw 23 species, including Northern Shrike, Prairie Falcon, Golden Eagle and Bald Eagle(2).  I was able to do a lot of photography with Black-capped Chickadees at the park's nature center.  This is a location I would love to get back to in the summer.
