On December 28, 2014 Unalaskans held their annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count.  This was Unalaska's twenty third consecutive count, part of an annual tradition held all across North America, since the year 1900.  Our count day weather was cold and clear, no rain, no snow.  We had sixteen adults and eight kids out and about, mostly along the coastlines, covering around 29 combined miles.  We tallied 50 species on Count Day, and six more species were seen during Count Week, which includes the three days prior to and following a Count Day. (Read More Here)
