Kelleys Island January Bird Census
Saturday, January 12, 2002

 

.
Vic Fazio, Sandy Tkach, and Tom Bartlett conducted the Kelleys Island census on Saturday, January 12, 2002. The weather was unseasonably mild but breezy. 47 species were observed. The interesting bird of the day was an immature (1st winter) Abberrant Ring-billed Gull at the ferry landing. Vic and Tom found the bird when they landed at 7:30 am in the very poor light. Luckily the bird was still around when they left at 1:30 pm. Vic took some photos of the bird before the ferry took off. One can be seen below. The bird was still feeding on the slushy ice around the ferry landing with hundreds of Ring-billed Gulls.
