Wednesday, the 13th, Sandy Tkach and I conduct the 16th Kelleys Island
March monthly survey. Weather conditions were overcast to PC, 30-33 F,
S-SW to NW winds of 10-30 mph with blinding snow squalls. Survey began at
0815 EST and ended 1300 EST. We observed 49 species and 4749 individuals
which was below the 16 year average of 54 species and 5501 individuals.
Weather conditions definitely affected the survey but it appeared that much
of the waterfowl had all ready headed north and some of the early migrants
had not moved in.
