Vic Fazio and I conducted the 14th Kelleys Island January monthly census
today. Only the January 2000 and February 2000 census have been missed
since the beginning of monthly census routes on Kelleys. The day started
clear, light ESE winds, 32 F and ended overcast, ENE winds of 5-10 mph, 44
F. 48 species were observed of 6726 individuals. One new species was
added to the January census list and that was a Rusty Blackbird. Several
regular January birds were missed including Blue Jay and American Tree
Sparrow. The average number of species observed on a January census is 41
with 6189 individuals. So today was slightly above average.
