The Great Parking Lot Bird Count

As Numenius said, we spent hours in the rain on duty on Sunday providing radio support for the start of Stage 1 of the Amgen Tour out of Davis.

I completely spaced this weekend’s Great Backyard Bird Count, but I can report the following birds from my six-hour stint at the east end of the City Hall parking lot in Davis, the first hour of which was in total darkness:

Cedar waxwing (max. 43)
American robin (max. 35)
Rock pigeon (max. 12)
Long-billed curlew (1, flying west-northwest).

The end.
