Today Carolanne Tkach and I conducted the 14th February census.  February
2000 was not run because of inability to get to the island that month.
Today started with about a half inch of snow on the ground and the
temperature in the low 30's but ended with clear skies and a temperature of
40.  We observed 46 species on the route of 2606 individuals.  The number
of species was above the average of 40 for February but the 2606 was about
half the normal number of 5092.  two species observed were new for a
February census.  They were Iceland Gull and Rusty Blackbird.  Two
additional species of note which were observed on the island but not on the
census route were 22 Eastern Bluebirds and an Immature Northern Goshawk.
Both species were found on the 22nd as well and photographed.
