Upper
Newport Bay
monthly
census reports
| For
the past nine years, we have been conducting a monthly bird
census in Upper Newport Bay from the deck of a small pontoon
boat on the 3rd Wednesday morning or each month from 8:30
to 10:30 a.m. The census is done by birders from Sea and Sage
Audubon Society, coordinated by Nancy Kenyon. Our course is
from the Back Bay Science Center boat dock, up the bay to
the boat limit sign above the old salt dike, and then back
again. The data we have collected is used for analysizing
the status of resident and migratory birds in the upper portion
of the bay. All of our census data has been posted here on
the website. Click on the census year you are interested in
seeing. |

| Between
the years 1992 and 1996, a series of monthly birds counts
were made in Upper Newport Bay, also conducted by birders
from Sea and Sage Audubon. These counts were conducted during
periods of low tide and were done from land. The counts were
coordinated by Richard Kust. |
