Lois Bateman of the Humber Natural History Society was kind enough to forward the results of the recent Corner Brook Christmas Bird Count which saw up to 6000 birds spanning 38 different species. While the overall number is slightly lower than in other years, those who participated were rewarded with such highlights as the American three-toed Woodpecker, the Black-backed Woodpecker, and the Willow Ptarmigan.
