Conducted the monthly census Saturday.  Participants were Tom & Paula
Bartlett, June Campbell, Brian & Tyler McClain, and Sandy Tkach.  Weather
was beautiful with winds out of the SE 5-10 mph.  However, species number
were down somewhat from previous days as it appears many birds, especially
waterfowl, left overnight.  We managed to log 63 species and 4241
individuals along the route.  This is the 10th year for the April count.
