The Kelleys Island monthly survey was conduct today, Friday, September
21. This
is the 15th year for the August survey. Participants were Tom and Paula
Bartlett, Tom Behlen, John Lortz, Shane and Laura Roberts. Beautiful day
with lots of birds observed. One of the highlights of the day was an adult
Peregrine Falcon taking an adult Ring-billed Gull within 50 feet of us at
the state park beach. 84 species and 4347 individuals were observed.
September
averages 73 species and 5030 individuals so the species count was well
average and the individuals count was slightly below average. The
Pied-billed Grebes, Peregrine Falcon, and Common Tern were new for the
September survey list. Bonaparte’s Gull, Black-throated Green Warbler,
Bay-breasted Warbler, and Common Yellowthroat were surprising misses.
Great day for a survey.
