The 1983-Summer Season 1 June through 31 July 1983 Janet C. Green and Robert B. Janssen |
The total number of species reported for the 1983 summer season was 271 which is ten more than the average for a summer seasonal report. The additional species were the result of the late spring migration which was also reflected in the late dates for flycatchers and warblers in the southern half of the state. The following species, which were seen in June, are more often found as strays or casuals during the spring migration: Parasitic Jaeger, Laughing Gull, Black-legged Kittiwake, Arctic Tern, Mountain Bluebird, White-eyed Vireo, Kentucky Warbler, Hooded Warbler, Summer Tanager, Western Tanager, Lazuli Bunting. Two other accidentals reported, Snowy Plover and Chuck-will's-Widow (same location as last year), are in the realm of usual summer vagrants.
Three species that are regularly seen in summer were missed this year: Three-toed Woodpecker, Long-eared Owl and Shorteared Owl. But on the opposite, brighter side two species that have not been seen in a number of years were found this summer: King Rail and Sprague's Pipit. Little Blue Herons and Snowy Egrets were missing this year and may no longer nest in the state; Cattle Egrets also were less numerous than in some past summers.
No new breeding records were established but the Burrowing Owl, Rusty Blackbird, and Solitary Sandpiper were found nesting in the same locations as last year. Breeding data were turned in for 160 species. The chamnpion nest finders were Nestor Hiemenz, Jack Sprenger, Steve Wilson and Mary Shedd, Terry Wiens, Erlys Krueger, and Molly and Ken Hoffmann. The data that they provide are very valuable for a long-term record of breeding distribution of Minnesota birds.
Note on style: same as past seasonal reports (see Loon 54:14-15, Loon 55:51).
