6 members of the Darke Co. Birders braved the cold on Sat. Jan 1 and located
these species including one long eared owl.  Kevin Schieltz found the owl 2
weeks ago on Dec. 22 so it could be included in the CBC week count and
refound it yesterday.
Sparrows were few and far between.  We only found tree and song sparrows.
