Many of you are acquainted with these counts from past reports, but others, I'm sure, find it means little except that the word Audubon has something to do with birds. To refresh everyone's mind, I'd like to give you a short capsule review of what's involved. Interested birders in over 050 individual counts throughout all of North America, Cen- tral America, the Caribbean and Pacific Is- lands go out on a particular day and count every bird they see and hear from before dawn (for owls) to after dark in a 15 -mile di- ameter circle. These lists of birds are then forwarded to Audubon headquarters where they are computerized and then printed in the American Bird journal. There are many counts right here on Long Island with four of them out on the East End: Quogue -Water MID, Central Suffolk, Montauk and Orient —I participate in the last three. Al- though reports are still coming in, the total number of species of birds seen on these counts follows: Quogue -Water Mill 108, Cen- tral Suffolk 124, Montauk 133 and Orient 101. Much has to do with the weather on the count day and, of course, the number of eyes out there counting. There's a certain amount of real work in- volved in pushing through brambles, walk- ing through deep woods, covering long stretches of beaches or slogging through marshes and swamps, but that is oversha- dowed by the hopes of seeing a special spe- cies of bird or just enjoying the companionship of a fellow birder. To give you just an inkling of some of the adventures of these counts, I'd like to relate an amusing episode that occurred when I was walking through the headwaters of a fresh- water swamp on the Central Suffolk count. As I walked across this partly frozen wet area, I could feel the ground giving way un- der me. To escape this I started to walk faster to get to the dry area ahead. This only added to the problem and I soon found my right foot breaking through the frozen crust and being held firmly by the black mud of the swamp. When I tried to pull my foot out, my boot remained stuck in the mud and I took the next step with my new red Christmas socks in the soft frozen mud. To make mat- ters worse, I tried to move the other foot and again the foot came out but my forward mo- tion was already underway and now I had fi- nally made it to dry land without any boots. How I laughed at myself! What a sight I was, sitting high and dry with my boots eight feet away in the mud. I got a long stick and proceeded to probe for my loots, which eventually I retrieved. Needless to say, I took my muddy socks off and put my cold wet feet into my still dry boots. I rinsed my socks off in the stream, stuffed them in my pocket and was soon on my way. This all happened after we had started out at six in the morning in hopes of calling in awls. We had picked a place where we knew a great horned owl had been last year, and sure enough, in the still 16 degree temper- ature of predawn we could hear his "Hoo, h0000, hoo, hoo." We then made a call like a screech owl and were able to bring in two of the little owls. One flew in and perched on a limb a mere 10 feet from us. Later we'd flush out a barn owl from a cedar thicket that has rewarded us with an owl each year. On Sale Sunday, January 10 Thru Saturday, January 16, 1993 Blessings The area within the 15 -mile circle I cover on the Montauk count is Gardirel Island, a place that at any time of the year is para- dise to me. We covered the south end of the island. We again saw seals on the rocks to the north and had high hopes of finding shore birds on the long two -mile strip of sand that stretches out toward Napeague to the south. This year we had a snowy owl atop an osprey platform that greeted us as we landed on the grass strip. Another good owl find picked up our spirits as we worked our way through the high tide line of the great marsh area north of Great Pond. It was a short-cared owl that's becoming harder and harder to find each year. I can remember once in the same gen- eral area we flushed five of these northern visitors. The last count I went on was the Orient count, which came after New Year's and found 56 of us from the ages of 8 to 87 start- ing out before dawn with temperatures in the teens. After a day of birding 30 observers met at our house for refreshments and tabula- tions of the count. After all had thawed out and eaten, the list of species was called out with the birders responding with a "Yes" or silence if no birds of that ilk had been seen. The list started off with regulars and was interrupted from time to time with "oohs" and "aahs" whenever a special hard - to-find bird shows up. A phoebe ( flycatcher) was found at a pond in Bay View and, of course, a cheer went up when two bluebirds were reported on Shelter Island. We did fairly well with hawks, with a peregrine falcon topping the list found in Peconic. This king of falcons, like the osprey, was near extinction 20 years ago, but since the banning of DDT and successful efforts to 19 ored or Louisiana heron was sponea tar me rust time ever in this region. This bird was spotted in the wetlands along Done Road in Hampton Bays. —Paul Stoutenburgh Photo reintroduce birds into the area, they have come back surprisingly well. The party I was with was able to put turn - stones and black - bellied plover (shore birds) on our list from the tattered beaches of Or- ient State Park thanks to the cooperation of the Park Superintendent. Looking back over my records of 40 years or more, I see many changes in the bird world. Most of all, the small woodland birds have dropped off to an alarming degree. This is due to a great ex- tent to the loss of habitat. Yet we see new birds like the cardinal, mockingbird, tit- mouse, cattle egret and others that have moved into our area. And, of course, pro- bably the most visual change has been the great number of Canada geese that has moved in most recently.
