Thank you for doing that. A very nice capture of this peaceful looking spot. Is the population any lower than in previous years? V

No shortage of Canada geese...a day well spent it seems.

You had a very respectable list with some interesting winter birds (tufted titmice!). I used to do the CBCs for years but gave up some time ago for one reason and another. They are fun, though. Love your serene shot. V
