Kelleys Island March Bird Census
Sunday, March 17, 2002


 

Kelley's Island March census was conducted on Sunday, March 17.  Cold strong northeast winds pounded the island.  I even got seasick on the ferry ride over, a first for me.  The ride back was nicer and more to the liking of my stomach.  Highlights were a Common Loon, an adult Northern Goshawk, 2 Pine Siskins, and 46 Purple Finch. Participants were Tom Bartlett, Delores Cole, and Sandy Tkach.
