Kelleys Island
September Bird Census

Sunday, September 14, 2003
Census conducted by Tom Bartlett
 

It was a fairly quiet day but we had some good birds.  The three Merlins were observed leaving the island from the ferry as I approached about 7:20 AM.  They left the east side and were flying to Marblehead.  It was neat to watch.  SE winds have slowed migration.
