Hi all:
=20
I did my breeding bird survey for Shelburne=2C which includes Jordan Falls=
=2C Shelburne and up into Welshtown on July 4. This was later than I norma=
lly run the route. The following was seen in regards to birds and numbers.

My comments overall are that numbers of bird species were lower than normal=
. Missing for the first time were northern cardinal and gray catbird. The=
re was a lack of kinglets. White-throated sparrows were also low as were r=
uby-throated hummingbirds. The first time ever to miss ruffed grouse. The=
count on palm warblers was high=2C with ovenbird taking the warbler prize.=
Yellow-rumped warblers came in second. There were no black-throated gree=
n warblers and overall=2C I've found this species very scare this year in e=
very location that I've birded. Also=2C I've found low numbers for Magnoli=
a warblers. American goldfinches were all but missing. The red-eyed vireo=
count was high=2C but a lack of blue-headed vireos. Hermit thrshes were a=
bout normal. Overall=2C within the count area if I were to include those h=
ermit thrushes seen and heard as well the number of overall birds would hav=
e been between between 65-75. We had a low count on black-throated blue wa=
rblers. Last year we had nine I believe. There was a lack of downy and ha=
iry woodpeckers. The first time that I've missed them altogether on this c=
ount. The water level was extremely high and it is the highest I've ever s=
een the river. This also created a lot more external noise. The last five=
stops were impeded by a grader. This slowed me down immensely and created=
a lot of external noise that would not have been present. =20
