Notes	Cold, wintry weather arrived earlier in fall than in recent years pushing many birds further south than in December 2021. Also froze any water bodies that still had any moisture after three years of drought conditions. Crop lands were also harvested and plowed/disked earlier than previous year, leaving little cover for prey items.
