Click here to view data on the Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count webpage, count circle VANO
Twenty-two people participated and together recorded 82 species and 15,873 individuals. At 6:30 a.m. the temperature was 13°. All ponds were frozen and waterfowl sightings were few and far between.
Notable sightings included Red-Breasted Nuthatches and Bald Eagles at several locations as well as a Northern Harrier at the Cedar Run Wetland Bank, Wild Turkeys at Merrimac Farm and Red-headed Woodpeckers at Quantico Marine Corps Base. Gadwall, Green-winged Teal, and Hooded Mergansers were spotted near the airport and American Woodcock on Parkgate Rd. before dawn.
