Nation's Audubon Christmas Bird Count draws bird lovers coast to coast
About 15 000 bird enthusiasts from Alaska to Key West and Nova Scotia to Honolulu will participate in the National Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count. Each area records data in a single 24 hour period between December 21 and January 2 to monitor species population trends and life cycles. Nicest census taking on record. Charles De Gaulle reportedly says he would quit rather than endure a runoff, a remark guessing political stance amid campaign pressure. Tennessee defeats UCLA in the Rose Bowl aftermath stirs debate on national title scenario with Arkansas and Alabama in the mix and Michigan State looming as a factor.
