European Starling(Sturnus vulgaris) |
Year | Season | N | S | |
1933 | Summer | | | Three breeding records contributed. On Hay 20th near Red Wing Risser and Swanson observed a f~ale feeding young in a nest which was located in a church steeple. The Starling nested nt St. Cloud this year, according to tho follo\rlng interesting note from Hiomenz: 1/0ne nest found. June 7th, nest and 4 fresh eggs. It was in a Flicker's hole 15 feet up in a dead limb of an elm tree on an island in the Mississippi at St. Cloud. A broken Flicker's egg lay on the ground below tho nest•••This same pnir, I presume, also nested on this same island last year, when a nest containing 5 ;fresh eggs was found on Mny 3oth. Tho nest the."l was in on old woodpecker's hold 15 feet up in a dead tree. Besides this pair the only other record I have of this species is for April 10, 19.3.3, \Then a flock of 10 were seen in to1.m. " Grimes saw a bird with food fly to a hole in an elm tree in Hinona County, not far from LaCrosse, \~isconsin,June 26th. |
1934 | Summer | | | Th~t this obnoxious invader is steadily increasing in our fair state is evidenced by the following nesting reports: A n1ast t-tith vociferous young wo.s fou..l'ld by Risser, Mahle, Upson, Du.Toit, Carlander. and Evans on May 20th at Ydesvillo, near Hastings. Prosser found n. po.ir in a oartin box at La.kellllllc1 and also observed thorn nesting in a woodpecker hole at Point Douglas, during May, in Washington County. Near st. Cloud nests were found in two pla.ces. On June ·;._;-~ ~19th Hiemenz found a nest where it was impossible tc investigate the contents, and on June 27th Hanson and Hiemenz :found a nest under construction and nearly conpleted. Common YellowthroatED VIRIO The finding of the first n~t was accomplished by Mrs. ~~le on the 20th of May, and therein lies a tale. It seems that this c~ ely young lady was deserted by her husband on that par·Gicular weekend, as he was journey1ng elsewhere in search of ornithological experiences. Whereupon she and her girl friends planned a bird trip of their ovm; but when the appointed hour arrived, only a slender yom>.g lassie named Jensen was at hand to join tho :resourcef'ul Mrs. Mahle; and alas, this damsel too had to leave when the shadows grew long and the moon shone bright. Undaunted even by desertion, courageous |
1936 | Summer | | | Three nests of this western advancing,unwelcome individual wre found by club members. At Frontenac E. D. Swedenborg located a nest in a.telephone pole. Thampsoq reported seeing adults carry food to young in nest located ~ar the top of a telephone pole on May 29th at Aurorao A nest containing one young was · found by Thompson on June 15th at Aurora. Twelve nests were reported for this species. Credit goes to Dr. Swedenborg who found adults constructing a camouflaged nest on June 7th at EKcelsior~ Kenneth Carlander discovered a nest with one young and two eggs at Hackensack on July 18th. The following day Mrs. C. E. Peterson reported young out of the _ nest at 14ruiison, and Robert Upson found a nest containing two vireo eggs and three Col-rbird eggs.
