The 1978-Spring Season 1 March through 31 May 1978 Terry L. Savaloja |
A total of 304 species were recorded by 102 observers. The Duluth area, as
usual leads in numbers of rare species. The most interesting was the state's
first adult Laughing Gull. We would appreciate your comments on the
new format being used for the Seasonal Reports.
March started very cold but warmed up by the end of the month, with flooding starting in the Red River Valley. A major blizzard on the 2nd ushered in April and snow continued off and on throughout the rest of the month. Temperatures reached the 80's by the last week of April. Warm weather on May lOth and 11th brought the first good wave of birds.
A cold front on the 20th created a lot of fog and rain in Duluth from the 25th through the end of the month, which apparently grounded good numbers of migrants.
A total of 304 species was recorded by 102 observers.
The format of this report has been changed as was the Fall report, this is an effort to cut down on the size of and time needed to compile these reports. We would be interested in getting some feedback on these changes. I have listed only those birds which were reported on record early or late dates, were outside their normal range or are of special interest.
In the rare bird department Duluth and the NE as usual came in with the best showing. Besides an Ibis which unfortunately was identified only as an Ibis sp? the NE had a Gyrfalcon, Iceland Gull, several Thayer's Gulls, a Little Gull, the state's first adult Laughing Gull, several Arctic Terns, a few Great Gray and Boreal Owls remaining from the winter invasion, an unheard of number of calling Boreal G>wls, a Townsend's Solitaire, a West ern Tanager and a Gray-crowned Rosy Finch at Hoyt Lakes. In the SE there was a Little Blue Heron, White-faced Ibis, Bewick's Wren and Kentucky Warblers. The SW had several Snowy Egrets, a Cinnamon Teal, a Ferruginous Hawk, and both a Western and Summer Tanager. The NW made a very good showing with a SnowyEgret, several Barrow's Goldeneyes, a Prairie Falcon and no less than three California Gulls and two Yellow-breasted Chats.
