Members of the Admiralty Audubon Society, from left, Wendy Feltham, Monica Fletcher, Steve Evans and Jan North — recording what is spotted — take part in the annual Christmas bird count at Point Hudson.
The team started about 7:45 a.m. and by 8:30 a.m. they had spotted and recorded more than 20 different species. An early migrating Brant was the most uncommon for this time of year.
