Total species was 59 which is slightly above 10 year average of 55 species observed on Nov- ember routes.  The total individuals observed was 16620 which is also slightly above the average of 12291.  This is actually the 11 year for the
November count.  Highlights included Mute Swan, Tundra Swan, Wood Duck, Surf Scoter, Black Scoter, Gray Catbird, Fox Sparrow, "Oregon" Junco, Purple Finch, and Pine Siskin. 

This brings the 2007 Kelleys Island census list to 171 species observed on 11 routes (January through November).  That makes 2007 to the second highest number of species observed over 10 years of census routes.  2005 had 177 species and the 10 year average is 161 species.  No new species were added to the list of species observed on November census routes but 5 new species were added to the 2007 list (Common Loon, Tundra Swan, Surf Scoter, Black Scoter, and Pine Siskin). ~~Tom Bartlett
