Nicolai Mt Breeding Bird Survey - 6/13/2002

I ran the Nicolai Mt BBS Route this morning under clear
skies and temperatures between 62-68?F. Total species
seen was just about average as were counts on most
individuals. HERMIT WARBLER numbers were higher than
average. WILSON'S WARBLER and most swallow numbers
were below average.
