So yesterday May 10th was the 9th Annual Ocean County Big Day Bird Count. With no migration and heavy wind we managed to do alright but it was still the worst count out of all 9 with 176 species seen. Still not a bad count though cause a lot of good birds were seen! 1st time misses included Upland Sandpiper, mainly cause the Lakehurst base can't be counted anymore, Ring-billed Gull, Eastern Screech Owl, Yellow-rumped Warbler ( big miss ), Worm-eating Warbler, Grasshopper Sparrow, and White-throated Sparrow. New birds added to the list that have never been seen in all the counts included, Royal Tern, White-faced Ibis, Black-necked Stilt, and Alder Flycatcher. Thanks to all 102 of you that participated! Here is a link to the list which is best viewable on a computer, it won't look right on phone: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V3mYc9pVC4aYo9vhpKqtcd9rdnrNVxvNqAy--S8x5Ak/edit?fbclid=IwY2xjawKNvcJleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE5SUZSTFdTeHFkSUFXcWYyAR5RFPh3zVrUoHnVaOBpHNisMz9Z0wm1AmMoqGCIg9dkjUTrbhjypSADGqb1NA_aem_BcUC6cEhoDb16bvASXp7UQ&gid=187187233#gid=187187233 And here is a link to all 9 counts side by side so you can see the difference in numbers which were down for many species but some species had there best numbers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V3mYc9pVC4aYo9vhpKqtcd9rdnrNVxvNqAy--S8x5Ak/edit?fbclid=IwY2xjawKNvcJleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE5SUZSTFdTeHFkSUFXcWYyAR5RFPh3zVrUoHnVaOBpHNisMz9Z0wm1AmMoqGCIg9dkjUTrbhjypSADGqb1NA_aem_BcUC6cEhoDb16bvASXp7UQ&gid=1956508330#gid=1956508330 Good birding, Shawn Wainwright List Guidelines: https://lists.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind2107&L=JERSEYBI&P=R685&X=OE8E22FEF3A2B10DFE5 List help: <jerseybi-request...> List archives: https://lists.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=jerseybi NJ Bird Records Committee: www.njbrc.com
