The 16th September monthly survey was conducted yesterday by Paula

Bartlett, Tom Behlen, Pat Hayes, a gentleman named John ??? (from the

Warren area but can't remember his last name; hopefully he reads this

and sends me an email), and myself.  The weather was beautiful but it

was the 4th day of south winds so migrants were few and far between.

We managed 58 species and 3389 individuals.  The September 16 year

average is 72 species and 4933 individuals.  Highlights included an

Egyptian Goose (escape), Wood Duck,  American Golden-Plover, Merlin,

Philadelphia Vireo, and 11 species of warbler.  The goose has been

here for about a week and is with a flock of Canada Geese on the SW

side of the island.  The plover is in the mowed field east of the

ferry dock.
