Hi John,

I thought you would like the results of the Christmas Bird Count. Luke Cole led the team as he did last year.  His 80 species for a day's birding is pretty nice. The Swamp Sparrow was missed on count day, but picked up a day or two later. I'm still working on the compilation so I was unable to make the meeting tonight.  I haven't forgotten about you.  The results listed here are for Lake Merced.  If you want more let me know, but I won't be able to do anything until next week some time when I've got the count totals submitted to Audubon.

Happy New Year.

Dan
