The 1964-Fall Season 1 August through 30 November 1964 Ronald L. Huber |
Weather: Autumn was rather mild
until about mid-November, when
temperatures suddenly dropped and
light snow fell over most of the
state. The third week of November
was deceptively mild and then
blustry weather set in to stay.
Thanksgiving found heavy snows over southcentral Minnesota and moderate snows elsewhere. Temperatures reached 19 below in some parts of southern Minnesota. Several species of the usual winter visitors put in their appearances about as expected. They seemed to arrive on the "heels" of the late-lingering fall migrants. Some notable late dates were obtained for some of these fall migrants.
General considerations: An Elk was shot in Houston County on 11-7.
This is the only modern record for our state outside of the Red Lake area and it is suspected that the animal escaped from a game farm in Iowa or Wisconsin. An Opossum has been feeding by moonlight, somewhat irregularly, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Harms since 9-13.
In recent years the Opossum has been recorded as far north in our state as Beltrami County, but it is still to be considered a southern mammal and its occurrence as far north as the Twin Cities is noteworthy.
On 11-11, WRP and RG observed a Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel near Shakopee, Scott County, a rather late date. On the same day, I took several specimens of the Alfalfa and Common Sulphur butterflies in Wabasha County, a new late date.
