The John W Sellars – Lebanon Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society conducted the Christmas Bird Count on Saturday, 2 January 2016 after a hiatus of several years. Stephen Zipperer drew a new circle for the count, and by all accounts, it’s a good area. Below is a link to a Google map of the circle, and some of the checklists from the days count. Thanks to all the dedicated birdwatchers who braved the frigid temperatures to make the renewed Wilson County Christmas Bird Count a success.
