[Jerry Ingles <jerryingles@xxxxxxxxx>]

The results of a two boat survey of Little Elder
Island plus fly-bys on the evening (5 p.m. til dark)
of September 8 were as follows. 

(Participants were Lloyd, Cathy, Dale and Jeannie
Swant, Don Davidson, Ruth Luckado and Jerry Ingles).

842 Cattle Egret
22 Juvenile Little Blue Heron
8 Adult Little Blue Heron
31 Great Egret
5 Double-crested Cormorant
2 Great Blue Heron
9 Black Tern
3 Forster's Tern
6 Green Heron
1 Osprey
1 Ruby-throated Hummingbird
8 Mallard
1 Canada Goose
1 Blue-winged Teal
9 Turkey Vulture
1 Juvenile White Ibis

As with last year's survey, we postioned the boats at
opposite ends of the island and maintained contact via
family channel radio to avoid double counting, whether
by same-bird(s) views by different boats or by
departures returning.  (That is, departing birds were
subtracted from subsequent arrivals).

No attempt was made to count swallows or blackbirds.

It has been my very great fortune to find an incredibly wonderful bird.
