Christmas Counts for New Mexico:
  Christmas Count season is past; hope everyone had a good 'un.
Santa Fe, NM got 56 with another 5 (!) curve-billed thrashers.
Espanola had its on the 29th and got a low species count of 56,
probably because of the warm weather. The rarest were 4 merlins
and 2 northern shrikes.  Exciting was an adult bald eagle that
soared over the Rio Grande. Also 59 CAnada Geese heading north
and a high of 150 or more mallards. Many species usually present
were in low numbers or absent.
