Hello Everyone,
The Morehead City CBC will be held on Sunday, December 14, 2025. "Last Year's" count (Actually January 5, 2025) was pulled together after the passing of long-time compiler and legendary birder John Fussell. We are going back to John's original count date of the first Sunday.
The January 5, 2025 count was held under clear skies with temperatures between 24 and 50 degrees F. Thirty-four observers tallied 149 species. Both numbers were a little low for this count, but we were pleased to keep the count going. Good species included Common Eider, Anhinga, Pomarine Jaeger, Western Tanager, and Bullock's Oriole. Misses included Surf Scoter (Only 1 Black Scoter!), Great Cormorant, Clapper Rail, Red-headed Woodpecker, and Merlin.
Please let me know if you are interested in helping this year.
