Our count day from Sober Island to Smiths Settlement was also great.
Our numbers were up in both species and individuals (although the latter
was up primarily because of a large flock of Herring Gulls following the
fishing boats). American Robins were up from 53 to 113, and were higher
than starlings for a change. We had no Tree Swallows last year but saw
16 this year. Three new species for the area were Horned Grebe,
Red-necked Grebe and Least Sandpipers. Total species was 48 (41 last year).
