The 45th consecutive Great Smoky Mountains NP CBC was held on Saturday
December 21, 2019 with 20 participants in 10 parties and two feeder watchers.
62 species were recorded which about average for this count. Mark Armstrong had
a Yellow-crowned night-heron in Pigeon Forge that is a new species for the
count.
Waterfowl were mostly absent as were winter finches and owls.
Thanks to everyone who participated!
