Today\u2019s Flashback Friday post takes a quick trip back to the summer, but also links to a much older tradition: we\u2019re in the last week of the 120th #ChristmasBirdCount<\/a>, a national effort to survey winter bird populations led by the Audubon Society<\/a>\u00a0that gets\u00a0lots of local participation.<\/a> <\/big><\/p>\n
