The fall
censuses started in 1983 counting only species, and then in
1998 we started counting individuals as well. Most of the
species and individual counts this year are pretty much in
line with historical data. Notable exceptions are: first
Mute Swans (nested in CVNP this year), first Northern
Harrier since 1988, first Canada Warbler since 1993; very
high counts for starlings and Red-winged Blackbirds (large
flocks of each were encountered by Gabe Leidy), and Rusty
Blackbirds (maybe a week later for the count helped here).
Lowest count for House Sparrows (numbers are generally
dropping in the US).
