Hi all,
Here at long last are provisional tallies for last Sunday's migration
count in Marion County. Volunteers were very prompt to send in their
lists, but it's taken me a while to find time produce this summary.
Barbara Dolan coordinated the volunteer coverage, mustering 9 field
parties with 14 observers who spent a total of 38.5 hours, covering a
combined 16.5 miles on foot and 151 miles by car. In addition, 4 birders
contributed another 10 hours to monitor feeders and yard birds.
In addition to Barbara, volunteers included Glen Lindeman, Nicholas
Martens & Maureen Leong-Kee, Fred Stephens, Jean M. (sorry for
incomplete last name!), Pat Gallagher, Mike Unger, Carolyn Homan, Robin
& Karen Koepl, John Thomas & Pam Reid, Roy Gerig, Jim Kopitzke, Kathy
Patterson, John Matthews and Roger Freeman.
The species list below gives notes on locations for some of the more
unusual species. We're still expecting to add some birds from Marion
County's most intrepid volunteer, who spent the weekend backpacking in
the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness. Rumors is that there could be some good
ones!
Happy birding,
Joel
