 December 2001:
28 Dec:  A flock of about 30 Sandhill Cranes flew over east Dearborn, and a Northern Saw-whet Owl was found along the lakeside trail in the evening.

24 Dec:  Two Peregrine Falcons were seen flying south from the Ford Test Track.

19 Dec:  There were still 30 Killdeer at Greenfield Village.

11 Dec:  Surely a record high number for this late in the year were 31 Killdeer at Greenfield Village.

10 Dec:  Two Great Horned Owls and a Winter Wren were found on today's survey.  A male Red-breasted Nuthatch appears settled in at the feeders for the winter.

9 Dec:  The Northern Mockingbird was seen again today, we can only hope it sticks around for the Christmas Count! A Common Redpoll was at an east Dearborn feeder.

November 2001:

24 Nov:  The Northern Mockingbird was relocated at the brush dump; it can be hard to find some days.

13 Nov:  Pine Siskins have finally arrived...two banded today.
