The 1966-Fall Season 1 August through 30 November 1966 Ronald L. Huber |
It is difficult to evaluate the effects that
weather had on what has certainly been
one of the most unusual fall migrations
we've had. Some of the earliest and latest
fall dates on record turned up, apparently
without any ready explanation. November
was not as mild this past fall as it has
been for the past three years, but otherwise
the weather seemed to be just about
normal. Some of the outstandingly unusual
dates have been omitted here, pending
answers to our requests for further
details.
