The Patagonia, AZ Christmas Bird count was held Dec 27, 2009. About Date: Tue, Jan 5, 2010, 5:52 PM
40 people participated. A preliminary compilation gives us 125
species (including a count week Fox Sparrow). A special thanks to
all who braved a very cold beginning of the day and who turned up
such a good list.
The list of birds seen is given below. Compared to counts in recent
years, very few water-birds were found. Warbler numbers were also
way down. Some sparrow species were down but others were up.
The list of species is given below, with reported numbers. Perhaps
the two most unexpected species were a Poorwill and a Long-billed
Dowitcher. A Broad-billed Hummingbird was a surprise too.
