Upper Newport Bay Monthly Census

Monthly Census

at the Upper Newport Bay

For the past six years, we have been conducting a monthly bird census in Upper Newport Bay from the deck of a small electric-powered boat. The census is conducted by birders from Sea and Sage Audubon Society, coordinated by Nancy Kenyon. 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.

Between the years 1992 and 1996, a series of 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.
