2019 Lake Erie Bass Islands Avian Research Program Report H. Thomas Bartlett

History In the early 2000’s, the Lake Erie Islands Historical Society began sponsoring two Elderhostel programs on South Bass Island. One dealt with fishing and the other with natural history/wine making of the islands. The popularity of evening natural history programs and optional morning bird walks soon led to a birding Elderhostel. In 2003, I was asked by Lisa Brohl, one of the leaders of the Elderhostel, to present a one-day program on bird banding and give a demonstration. The demonstration was conducted on a 20 acre property owned by Mark and Barb Barnhill on the eastern most part of the island. The program was a success and I have been asked back each year. In the summer of 2006, I retired from teaching. Lisa called and asked if I would work the week-long Elderhostel. I agree and banding increased. The Elderhostel has changed its name to Road Scholar, opening up to a wider group of people and is now run by the Lake Erie Islands Nature and Wildlife Center on South Bass Island. Over the years the Road Scholar programs have increased to 6 weeks during spring and fall. Lisa is also the chair of the Lake Erie Islands Conservancy. This organization has used the data we’ve gathered to help secure funds to buy and protect land on the Bass Islands. In 2009, we started a banding project on Middle Bass Island. In 2010, one of my sub-permittees, Dr. James Marshall working at Stone Lab, began expanding our efforts with a summer banding project on North Bass Island. The North Bass Island summer study involves avian use of the remaining vineyards on the island. This data gives an idea of which species of birds are using the islands for breeding, wintering, and stopover during migration. It shows that the Lake Erie Islands are critical for migrant birds. Over 25 natural areas have been protected on the Bass Islands with the use of our data. On Middle Bass Island, about 52.8 acres have been protected or will be and on South Bass Island, 63.1 acres have been or will soon be protected.

2019 Update We now have bird banding data for South Bass (17 years), Middle Bass (11 years), and North Bass (10 years) Islands plus my long-term data set (24 years) from Kelleys Island. Banding data has been used to purchase and protect properties on South Bass, Middle Bass, and Kelleys Islands. In that time period we have banded over 29,951 indivdual birds of 119 species and 2 hybrids. The Put-in-Bay Township Park District, as owners of natural areas, makes use of the banding data to help manage the properties for migratory and nesting birds as well as other wildlife. The Barnhills, Put-in-Bay Township Park District, Lake Erie Islands Conservancy, and the Lake Erie Islands Nature and Wildlife Center have supplied access and funding to assist in our banding projects again this year. As always, we are thankful for the support from Mark and Barb Barnhill for the use of their property on South Bass Island and assistance in our studies. However, 2019 has proven to be a very sad year for this great relationship. Early in the year, both Mark and Barb passed away. They will be sorely missed. This year’s report is dedicated to their support and memory. I will always have fond memories of the two. It was always an enjoyable time at their place.


On Middle Bass Island, we have continued to receive much assistance, food, and lodging from Teddi Keith-Morris and Nancy Welter. In addition, the efforts of Ron Helman, Chris Helman and family to maintain the trails and net lanes at East Point Preserve have been extremely helpful. And thank you also to Tina Larsen, Ken & Ann Shelton and Lisa Brohl for their assistance to the banding operations. It is hoped that the banding projects can be continued in years to come. This past year 550 individuals visited our Bass Islands research stations. 2019 was an excellent year for our research efforts on the Bass Islands. During the 2019

banding season, banding occurred on 43 days. 1943 individual birds of 83 species were banded on

South Bass, Gibraltar, Middle Bass, and North Bass Islands. In addition, 214 banded birds were

recaptured or recovered (178 individuals, some individuals were recaptured more than once). Of

these, 53% (94) were banded prior to 2019. Two individuals were first banded in 2013, three birds

in 2014, seven birds in 2015, eleven birds in 2016, twenty-seven birds in 2017, Thirty-six in 2018 and

81 individuals earlier in 2019. Our oldest recapture was a Northern Cardinal banded June 27, 2013

on Middle Bass Island as a after hatch-year male making it at least seven years old. The second

oldest bird was a Red-winged Blackbird banded July 9, 2013 on Middle Bass Island as a second year

female making her 7 years old. In addition, we heard from the Bird Banding Laboratory on a Tree

Swallow that we recaptured in 2016. It was banded May 6, 2013 at Holiday Beach Conservation

Area outside of Leamington, Ontario Canada. Thirty-one individuals escaped or were released

before being processed. There were two casualties during the banding operations. Our rate for

casualties this year was 0.09% of total birds handled, which is outstanding and says a lot about the

skill of our extraction team. All this was done over 43 banding days and 2713.00 net hours. 2177

individual birds were handled this year and 0.59 birds were banded per net hour of effort and 0.68

birds handled per net hour.

The top ten most banded species for 2019 were: 339 Purple Martin 59 Common Grackle 284 Red-winged Blackbird 58 Swainson’s Thrush 103 Ruby-crowned Kinglets 50 Magnolia Warbler 95 American Robin 46 Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warbler 86 White-throated Sparrow 45 Red-breasted Nuthatch Over the last sixteen years of our banding effort, we have banded 12,776 individuals of 118 species on the Bass Islands and one hybrid. This was accomplished in 357 banding days and 23,307.75 net hours of effort resulting in 0.51 birds banded per net hour. This past year we banded two new species for the islands. They were Chimney Swift (1 on South Bass Island during the summer by Dr. Marshall) and a Tufted Titmouse (also on South Bass Island early this winter). The Tufted Titmouse is the first banded on the Lake Erie Islands and is considered very rare for the islands. Also, banded was one new hybrid, a Golden-winged X Blue-winged Warbler, on South Bass Island this past spring. In addition, another banding project continues with Purple Martins and Tree Swallows. It was taken over in 2017 by Thomas Kashmer and his crew, of Green Creek Wildlife Society and Black Swamp Bird Observatory. Their data is shared with us. The top ten most banded species over the sixteen years have been: 2966 Red-winged Blackbird 480 Swainson’s Thrush 1075 Purple Martin 420 Tree Swallow 931 American Robin 388 Yellow Warbler 569 White-throated Sparrow 325 Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warbler 494 Common Grackle 279 Ruby-crowned Kinglet

South Bass Island On South Bass Island we banded 1067 individuals of 67 species in 2019. Two new species were banded. They were Chimney Swift and Tufted Titmouse. This was the first titmouse to be banded on the Lake Erie Islands. Over the seventeen years of this South Bass Island study, 101 species and 8,035 individual birds have been banded. This year we were able to band 7 days in the spring, three days in the fall, and three days in December. Plus Dr. Marshall was able to band 10 days in the summer with his Stone Lab class. And again this year, we had the banding of the Purple Martins banded by Tom Kashmer’s team. In early December we again banded for three days at Lisa Brohl’s feeders, one evening of owl banding at the Wildlife Center and two evening of owl banding at the Vineyard. We banded 58 individuals of 10 species. This also gave us a chance to continue to train some of our volunteers in bird extraction which will help us greatly in the future. Both Nancy Welter and Teddi Keith-Morris from Middle Bass Island came over and participated. On South Bass Island we had 373 visitors to the banding stations.

Middle Bass Island On Middle Bass Island we banded 718 individuals of 68 species in 2019. One new species was banded. It was two individual Golden-winged Warblers. This was done over 16 banding days, 1435.0 net hours. There were 8 escape/released birds and zero casualties. We handled 810 individual birds during 2019. Over the eleven years of this study on Middle Bass Island, 4041 individual birds of 103 species have been banded. On Middle Bass Island this year we had 171 visitors to the banding stations. The Beaver which showed up on the island in 2018, has survived and still working the pond area. We also managed to capture and release a Silver-haired Bat in the fall. This was a first for us and a good find for the preserve.

North Bass Island On North Bass Island we banded 58 individuals of 8 species in only three days of effort. One new species, Common Grackle, was banded. Over the last eight years of the North Bass Island study, 700 individuals of 24 species have been banded. This year we had one recaptured individual, an Indigo Bunting, which was banded earlier in the summer. During the year we had 6 visitors to the North Bass banding station. The State of Ohio’s plan to remove the vineyards on North Bass Island appears to have changed and at least some of the vineyards remain allowing this study can continue. It would be nice to get addition banding data during spring and fall as well in the future. We are actively working on a Fall 2020 outing to the island in an effort to add some fall migration banding data.

2019 Data The data for all banding activities in 2018 on the Bass Islands follows. Included are some historical data, birds banded, recaptures, and some observational notes for each island. A special thanks should be given to the volunteers and supporters of this project: Paula Bartlett, Mark & Barb Barnhill, Lisa & Russ Brohl, Jim & Betsy Brohl, Karen Dolej, Ken Farber, John Lortz, Dr. James Marshall, Dr. Andy Jones, Tina Larson, Alice Lentz, John & Peg Leopold, Teddi Keith-Morris, Nancy Welter, Shane Roberts, Ken & Ann Shelton, Chris Helman and family, Bob Stausmire, Gerald Shanley, Dr. William Cleveland, the Lake Erie Islands Conservancy, the Lake Erie Islands Nature and Wildlife Center, Miller Boatline, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Ottawa County Community Foundation, and the Put-in-Bay Township Park District.

One area of improvement in 2020 will be to document all species of birds seen and heard during our work. These surveys will be noted on a daily checklist. Perhaps this data can be entered into eBird.
