In spite of the cola, a total of twenty-four land and water species were identified. The lake was almost entirely frozen, thus limiting ita availability to waterbirds. A representative number of Blue, Snow and Canada Geese were observed. Of special interest was a solid mass of approximately 300 Mallards gathered in an opening of the ice covering. A club member, Larry Stout of Cary, came equipped with a spotting scope, so it was possible to closely study the large concentration of clucks. Included in the land count were the Golden-crowned Kinglet, Hairy and Red-bellied Woodpecker, Tree and Song Sporrow and White-breasted Nuthatch. The much needed coffee and rolls were served by Mrs. Ralph Peacock and Mrs. I. J. Stroner, both of Crystal Lake. For the December meeting the Bird club will again participate in the annual bird census conducted by the National Audubon society. Check For Scholarship HERE ANO THJ&E IN RtTSINESS Photo by H. J.
