Christmas Bird Counts require LOTS of people to spend the day birding. The more eyes to the skies, trees, lakes, and ground, the better. The following photos are contributed from some other birders in the Idyllwild Christmas Bird Count.The above photo is taken of some Pine Siskins that were really enjoying this tree.
