By Kimberley Roll
Kimberley Roll and her husband Jeff and friend Greg McCallister participated in the SANJO CBC (Southern Adams Northern Jay Ouabache Christmas Bird Count) on January 1. Their territory was the Loblolly Marsh Nature Preserve.
January 1 was a mild day with temperatures in the 40s F but there was fog in the morning and rain by 11:00 am. These are her photos of some of the birds that Kimberley captured with her camera. Field counters are dedicated people who go out every year for the CBC in all kinds of weather to document the birds that are seen in this area.
Blue Jay. A common bird that was seen in good numbers this year.
American Tree Sparrow. Seen in this area in the winter months.
Red-bellied woodpecker. One of our native species of woodpeckers.
Bald Eagle on one of his favorite perches. Bald eagles are now a bird seen and recorded every year on the Christmas Bird Count.

Pileated woodpecker. A nice bird to see. Several were recorded on the CBC this year.
Red-tailed hawk. A common hawk here all year round.
Song sparrow. One of our native sparrows that is here all year round.
