It hink it generally falls on the last weekend of the Christmas Bird Count counting period. I assume it was as warm in Brooklyn as it was in Philadelphia this weekend, high 50s. It's easier birding in that type of weather but I have the feeling I actually see more birds when it gets colder. Probably fewer Mockingbirds and more Black-Capped Chickadees and Purple Finches. Though it seems Mockingbirds are around most if not all of the winter anymore. Not that I mind seeing them. Speaking of robins there are still many around these parts. Last year's mid-winter count, which I think was first weekend in January, found 100s of them in Philadelphia. I wonder if they also aren't sticking around longer due to warmer winters?
