Kelleys Island - November 17, 2001 Bird Census

The regular monthly census was run on Saturday, November 17, 23001 from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm. Ten individuals participated in our most mild November census to date. We even found a male Lake Erie Water Snake along the North Pond trail. We totaled 61 species. Five finch species are of note but the lack of numbers of some of the regular wintering birds like Golden-crowned Kinglet and Hermit Thrush is interesting. Also note the 22 Carolina Wrens recorded. They are all over the island. We found more in areas not covered by the census route. Also of note were 5 Eastern Screech-Owl, 2 Great Horned Owls, 1 Long-eared Owl, and 1 Saw-whet Owl recorded on evening census runs Friday and Saturday.
