Fontenelle Forest last week hosted its 126th annual Christmas Bird Count, which invites the public to tally the numbers of birds in the Forest. According to preliminary reports, volunteers identified 36 species and counted 2,554 individual birds. Some of the most frequently spotted species included European Starlings, American Robins, Canada Geese and White-breasted Nuthatches. Bald Eagles, Pileated Woodpeckers, Sharp-shinned and Cooper’s Hawks and Red-headed Woodpeckers were also sighted. – Mark Champion
