In fall , the large initial total count (308 on 21 August) was driven by high counts of several sparrows (Junco, White-throated, Song), and by a very large count of Purple Finch. The sparrows do not normally migrate in numbers at this seas...

AI summary The area under review is not a major migration corridor, as evidenced by low counts of long-distance migrants and the absence of major raptor flights. The degraded upland habitat supports nesting species but is less suitable for insect-fueled night-migrants. The area may be more significant as breeding habitat for species that can utilize its degraded conditions.
