Subject: [NEBirds] Madison BBS results
And, finally, I completed the Madison BBS route on June 22. This is a newer route (started in 2018), and this was only my second time completing it. The route starts just east of Madison and takes a meandering course through Madison County, ending several miles south of Meadow Grove. This year's species total and total number of birds were the highest recorded for this route. A Wood Duck and two Great Horned Owls were also observed between points.

I'm sounding like a broken record, but just like my previous two routes, Northern Bobwhite numbers were substantially higher than previous years (0 in 2018, 3 in 2019, 22 in 2025). Purple Martin and Rose-breasted Grosbeak were recorded for the first time. Otherwise, there weren't a lot of surprises.
