Here is Russ Koppendrayer's take on 2014:
We finished the last couple months of the 2014 Cowlitz County Bird Count with some nice finds.
The county's first ever Acorn Woodpecker visited a Longview feeder for three days in late November.
Also the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website had a photo of Snow Bunting taken in December on their Mount Saint Helen's Wildlife Area. Not a source I've ever checked, but I was alerted to it by a friend in Spokane.
This was our eighth year of this project and the averages are beginning to be meaningful. The 197 species in the county this year is above our 191 average but short of the 2011 record of 203.
