The 1998 North American Migration Count challenged the counters with a nearly complete lack of warblers. While the day was clear and the average temperature was higher than past years, many species were delayed. In fact, warblers never really showed. The data chart compares data from 1995 to 1999 where greater than 50 hours were logged.

Many thanks to all of our counters for their contribution of time and effort:

Jim & Marge Bullerdick, Pam Key, Mark and Carol Ames, Jim Ponshair, Tom Hendrickson, Carl & Judi Manning, John McAree, Larry and Maggie Dannemiller, Rodney Denning, Roger Tharp, and Jannet Dirkse. We hope to see all of you out for the 1999 count! Your efforts make the count a success.

Perhaps not surprising, the Starling took top count honors:
