[JanKShaw@xxxxxxx]

NTOS held its Fall Count Saturday, Oct. 5, and recorded 128 species.  The 
most unusual was a flock of 31 White Pelicans seen high overhead in a V 
formation over Mary Zimmerman's house near Shelby Bottoms.  Other birds of 
interest included 2 early Hooded Mergansers, 1 late Least Flycatcher, 1 
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, all the woodpeckers including Yellow-bellied 
Sapsucker, 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet, all the expected vireos, 23 warbler 
species including 1 Connecticut, 2 Canadas and one late Louisiana 
Waterthrush, large numbers of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks on a few routes, and 4 
Lincoln's, 1 Swamp, 1 White-throated, and 1 Lark Sparrow.  Only 3 shorebird 
species were found, Killdeer, Pectoral Sandpiper, and Solitary Sandpiper.

It was a beautiful day to be out birding.  Thank you to all who participated.
