This is a special episode just for this time of year. Around Christmas time volunteers all over the country go out and count all the birds they can find in their local area. This is the second episode I made for to help with the Christmas Bird Count (CBC). I talk about three common birds most people will see on their own CBC the Mallard (1:43) the Canada Goose (3:48) and the Cedar Waxwing (6:39). Then I talk about three not so common species most of us will only get the chance to see in the winter months our winter specialties. This time the winter specialties are Longspurs starting at (9:38).
