On Friday, December 15, nine teams of Mad Birders spread out through the Mad River Valley, Northfield and Roxbury in search of birds. Many were surprised to find that the birds were not at feeders as they were last year, but dispersed in fields and forests, enjoying all the food available in the mild weather. We birded until late afternoon, then gathered at the home of Dawna and James Foreman for a wonderful potluck and sharing of sightings and adventures.

Bridget Butler, our Coordinator, has summarized our results and they are now available at CBC Master Tally 2006

We had so much fun that Mad Birders are already looking forward to Christmas Bird Count 2007 – plan to join us!!
