Paula Bartlett, Pat Hayes, and I conducted the July monthly census for
Kelleys Island today.  This the 13th year this has been conducted.  The
average for July is 62 species and 3542 individuals.  We observed 61 species
and 6358 individuals.  So this was an average July count species-wise but
above average individual-wise.  Most were gulls(4186 individuals) which were
feeding off the west side of the island or roosting along the south side of
the island.  No new species were added to the July list.
