The tenth annual Neyaashiinigmiing (Cape Croker) Christmas Bird Count was held on Saturday, December 19, on the spectacular eastern coast of the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula. It was a cloudy day with southerly 18-24 kph winds. Snow started to fall around 11:00 a.m., but amounted to only a few cm. Temperatures ranged from about -5°C during pre-dawn owling to 0°C in the afternoon. The waters of Georgian Bay and streams were open, but non-flowing inland waters were partly to fully ice-covered, with 5-10 cm layer of snow on the ground. Fifteen socially-distanced participants tallied a total of 39 species, very close to the average of 39.8. The 1159 individual birds was slightly above the average of 1027. Highlights included the count’s first-ever Winter Wren and Hoary Redpoll, as well as Northern Goshawk (4th count) and Common Grackle (4th count). High totals were tallied for seven species: Ring-billed Gull (9, previous high 7, average 2), Red-tailed Hawk (4, previous high 1), Rough-legged Hawk (4, previous high 1), Hairy Woodpecker (9, tied previous high) and Common Raven (39, previous high 36). Low counts were recorded for Long-tailed Duck (2, average 14) and Horned Grebe (1, average 8 -- after an amazing 47 individuals in 2019). Other notable misses were Common Merganser (missed on 2 previous counts) and Red-bellied Woodpecker (annual until 2017, now missed 3 years in a row). Chi Miigwetch to Neyaashiinigmiing (Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation) community for hosting this always special birding event. Jarmo Jalava and Miptoon (Anthony Chegahno), co-compilers
