Sadly, no data was submitted this year for the Miami-Springs/Hialeah area. If any of you saw birds in these areas during count week (December 16 through December 22), especially those not listed above, please submit your sightings to me at brianrapoza@aol.com. If any count area feeder-watchers would like to submit sightings, I will appreciatively accept those as well.
