[Oligobird@xxxxxxx]

Here is the result of our fall count for Wilsdon County, dated September  17, 
2005.  Our attempt to repeat the count on October 8 failed due to  health 
problems and prior commitments. I regret that cut and paste spoils my  spacing, 
a 
problem I have not mastered.

Notes.  Once again we were unable to count at Boxwell Scout Camp, so water 
fowl  counts are low.  In general, fewer  bird individuals were seen. The 
species count was 62 (66 in 2003, 62 in 2004).  The number of individuals minus 
Starlings was very similar to 2004. No Cliff  Swallows were seen, but there 
were 
Barn Swallows and Tree Swallows.
