Nature abhors a vacuum. I abhor an empty list....
I did my annual, first of the year listing day. First bird of the day a very non-traditional Downy Woodpecker (it's usually starling or Glaucous-winged Gull). I managed to find 80 species (81 if you split the Canada Geese) with surprising ease.
Last years total, 269 for the year, 230 in Clatsop County, about average.
