Like Jay, I spent New Year's Day birding, and I went to a couple of the same
places, but I didn't get quite the same numbers.  I started at the lake at
East Fork State Park, went on to the Cincinnati Nature Center, then to Camp
Dennison in the early afternoon.  I hit some other spots, like private yards and
places where I had staked out some other interesting birds (some hits/some
misses) and finished in Chilo, at the Crooked Run Nature Preserve.  The first bird
of 2007 was a Song Sparrow (in my yard) and the last of the day was a Northern
Flicker at Crooked Run for a 7 woodpecker day.
