John Lortz and I conducted the monthly census on Kelleys Island yesterday. The day was overcast, light to moderate rain at times, wind E at 5-12 mph, and temp in high 50's to high 60's F. This is the 12th year for the June census. Our average number of species has been 60 with 2776 individuals. This year we added two new species to the June list which now stands at 100 species. Those species were Common Tern and Northern Parula. Unusual species observed were Eastern Bluebird(second time - 1999), Magnolia Warbler(second time - 1998), Ovenbird(second time - 2000), and Yellow-breasted Chat(third time - 1999 and 2005). This year 64 species were observed and 3903 individuals. The Common Tern, Northern Parula, Eastern Bluebird, and Ovenbird could be breeding birds on the island. None have ever been confirmed. The Magnolia Warbler is probably a late migrant or summering individual as there is no breeding habitat for this species on the island. It was observed singing along the North Pond trail in scrub habitat. 54 Double-crested Cormorant 27 Great Blue Heron 1 Great Egret 245 Canada Goose 9 Wood Duck 50 Mallard 1 Turkey Vulture * Bald Eagle 1 Cooper's Hawk 17 Killdeer 56 Ring-billed Gull 274 Herring Gull 2 Common Tern 9 Mourning Dove 1 Yellow-billed Cuckoo 3 Eastern Screech-Owl 7 Chimney Swift 2 Ruby-throated Hummingbird 22 Downy Woodpecker 1 Northern Flicker 7 Eastern Wood-Pewee 2 Willow Flycatcher 2 Least Flycatcher 6 Great Crested Flycatcher 18 Eastern Kingbird 14 Warbling Vireo 9 Red-eyed Vireo 2 Blue Jay 23 American Crow 68 Purple Martin 148 Tree Swallow 34 Northern Rough-winged Swallow 8 Bank Swallow 272 Barn Swallow 20 Black-capped Chickadee 1 White-breasted Nuthatch 3 Carolina Wren 38 House Wren 1 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 1 Eastern Bluebird 386 American Robin 3 Gray Catbird 116 European Starling 71 Cedar Waxwing 1 Northern Parula 272 Yellow Warbler 10 Chestnut-sided Warbler 1 Magnolia Warbler 4 American Redstart 1 Ovenbird 2 Common Yellowthroat 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 54 Northern Cardinal 14 Indigo Bunting 1 Eastern Towhee 26 Chipping Sparrow 2 Song Sparrow 628 Red-winged Blackbird 558 Common Grackle 59 Brown-headed Cowbird 11 Orchard Oriole 69 Baltimore Oriole 54 House Finch 26 American Goldfinch 74 House Sparrow 64 Species 3903 individuals -- H.
