Conducted the monthly census on Friday, June 15 with Pat Hayes and Sandy
Tkach.  Beautiful day and lots of birds.  Temp started in mid fifties and we
ended in mid-80's with clear skies and light north winds.  This was the 10th
year for the June census.  The average number of species had been 59 but
today we had 71 species, so the new June average is 60.6.  7 new species
were added to the June list.  Those were Red-breasted Merganser, Laughing
Gull, 11 Bonaparte's Gulls, 2 Forster's Tern, Cerulean Warbler, and
Black-and-white Warbler.  Highlight birds were the adult Laughing Gull at
the old Neumann ferry dock, 2 Least Flycatchers along the North Pond Trail,
a calling Red-breasted Nuthatch in the North Quarry, a Veery along the North
Pond Trail, a singing Blackpoll off Huntington Lane, A singing Cerulean
Warbler near the school, and a singing Black-and-white Warbler along the
North Pond Trail.  A second singing Black-and-white Warbler was found in the
North Quarry on Saturday.  Friday night an adult Northern Saw-whet Owl was
found at the site where one was calling in May.  And one or two birds were
heard calling at the Scheele Preserve Saturday afternoon.  One may have been
young of the year.
