Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of Bob Zaremba, here is the summary for Fall 1998 and some additional info. I checked it as carefully as i could, so if there are any mistakes they are mine and please let me know. Enjoy! Giff 1998 FALL SUMMARY for KENNESAW MOUNTAIN, created 2/99 How to use: First set of dates is range for this fall, second set is my opinion of when they were most common judgement call), NC means never common. Species not listed were absent, very common or residents. Next number is peak one day count, with all-time one day fall peak count in parens. No number means all singles, no number in parens means new peak count, the last number is the total times observed this fall. NOTE: Fall coverage ENDED on 10/18, about two weeks too early! Please help change this in October 1999!
