temp. 30 to 34 deg. F.; wind SE, 8 to 14 m.p.h.; lakes frozen, rivers mostly 
open. Ground 30% ice covered; some areas flooded. Forty-one observers in 
8 parties. Total party-hours, 52 (33 on foot, 19 by car); total party-miles, 
252 (27 on foot, 225 by car). Aerial census impossible this year due to fog. 
The immature Golden Eagle was the first for the Christmas count, but is 
regularly seen on our February eagle count. True number of Bald Eagles 
probably greater than reported, as many are usually seen from the air in 
areas inaccessible to ground parties. There was very close observation of 
the Long-eared Owl. Flock of 400 Cowbirds sighted—Sarah Vasse (compiler),
