The Hamilton County migration count was held on Saturday May 7. Twenty-two
observers found 130 species which is a somewhat below the average for this
count. It had been hot and dry with very little weather which probably did
not help the species count.
Some of the highlights included:
Gadwall
Northern Harrier
Merlin
Northern Bobwhite
2 Whip-poor-will
12 Chuck-wills-widow
Veery
Pine Siskin
28 species of warblers including Golden-winged, Cerulean, Nashville, and
Bay-breasted
Thanks to everyone who helped with this count!
