Hi all,
 
Jim and Bret McCarty and I had a great New Years counting for the Burton CBC. We covered Headwaters Park and a few surrounding roads. We only turned up 39 species but had good numbers. The highlight would definitely be the four White-winged Crossbills that landed for a minute and continued flying southeast; this was along Rt. 322 at a Headwaters Park trailhead. Here’s our results (NOT the whole circle’s results).
