Since I spent 5 days on Kelleys, I thought I would list all species observed
in addition to the census information which I all ready posted.  Below is
the list of species observed, the highest count, and the date of that count.
In all, 58 species were observed, 1 race, and 1 hybred.  If the high count
was on the census date, I am not listing that date.  Also, on the census
posting I had species listed with an *.  This means that the species was
observed on the island on that date but not on the census route.

It is very interesting to see how individual species numbers change each day
as weather changes.  Waterfowl species and gull species appear to be moving.
