The Clarksville Christmas Bird Count was held last Saturday January 4, 2014 
under cold, mostly sunny, and windy weather conditions. Temperatures ranged 
from 25 degrees F at the start to a high of 46, and winds increased from 9 mph 
at the start to 20 mph during late morning/early afternoon (gusting to 30). 
Twenty three field counters in 7 parties (and 3 feeder counters) observed a 
total of 78 species; 2 count week species (Red-breasted Merganser & Barn Owl) 
were also observed. This count ties the second highest Clarksville count.  

Highlights:

     Waterfowl made a good showing despite the mostly frozen smaller bodies of 
water. 

     Bald Eagle 3 – 1 adult, 2 immature

     Least Sandpiper 1 – only 2nd record on count (1997)

     Eurasian Collared-Dove 2 – only 2nd record on count (2008)

     Vesper Sparrow 1 – only 3rd record on count (1975, 1976)

     Lincoln’s Sparrow 1 – only 2nd record on count (1974)

     Lapland Longspur 1 – only 2nd record on count (1988)

     New species for the count: Bufflehead (2), Red-breasted Merganser (CW)

     New high counts: Eastern Phoebe (18), Savannah Sparrow (115)

Misses for the count include: Northern Bobwhite, Eastern Screech Owl,
