Winston Walden and I drove an 82-km long survey route in western Putnam
Co. last Friday, repeating a route we surveyed during late May 2004 and
late May 2005.  We counted 28 CERWs along this route this year, compared
to 42 in 2005 and 47 in 2004.  The method we use to survey for CERWs is
non-standard, but it still gives a rough idea of the local population of
CERWs, which may be in decline if the results of our surveys are at all
an accurate reflection of the actual status of the birds.
 
Most of the roads we surveyed this year have not undergone much change
from the previous two years, indicating that local alterations in
habitat probably cannot be assigned as a reason for the apparent decline
of this species in this part of the state.
 
Results of the surveys (2004-2006) may be viewed at this page of my
website:
