Participants in SERC Winter Bird Count 
December 18, 1989 
Page 2 
Only two species were positively identified in the SERC count area 
during the week prior to 17 December, but were not tallied there in the 
count. An injured male Wood Duck was seen along the shoreline near the 
SERC dock on 15 Decemeber, and was found dead and partially eaten on 17 
December. A coot was observed in the same area a few days before the cold 
front froze the dock area. On count day, a distant sighting was made of a 
large raptor that probably was a Bald Eagle, but this spe_cies is not 
included in“the final tally.' “ _ - _ 
_ The attached, sheet summarizes the results of the 17 December 1989 
count. Thanks to all who participated, and I hope that we can count on 
your help next year.
