This year, 44 participants recorded our highest number of birds ever during our Christmas Bird Count with 3250 birds spotted in the Slave Lake Area. It was a record breaking year for both Pine Grosbeaks and Pine Siskins, as well as our third highest count ever for Bohemian Waxwings. Despite this large number of birds, it was an average year for species diversity with 24 species recorded including a Northern Shrike, 2 Three-toed Woodpeckers, Great Grey Owl, and a Bald Eagle.
