The 1987-Fall Season 1 August through 30 November 1987 Don Bolduc, Steve Carlson, Oscar Johnson and Dick Ruhme |
Foreward by Bob Janssen
The fall of 1987 was rather lack-luster in
birds and in weather. The weather of the
period was normal with a few big storms and
near normal temperatures with below normal
preci pi tat ion.
The mig.ration was fair to poor with migrants tncklmg through. The hawk migration at Duluth was mediocre at best with numbers down from previous years. There were just no weather systems to concentrate the birds over the ridge. Only II Peregrines were reported, the lowest in ten years. Conditions were about the same for warblers and shorebirds. There were some good warbler waves in early September but nothing that could be called unusual other than some early dates for the southern part of the state; for example, Cape May Warblers were in Dakota County on August I.
A summary of Twin Cities weather was typical for the state as a whole. August began hot and humid with temperatures in the upper 90's on August I and 2. There was a heavy rain on the eighth, totalling 2V2 inches. The rest of the month turned out to be average with September about the same, clear sunny days and normal temperatures for most of the month. There was a record high of 88° on the 27th in the Twin Cities.
October began windy and cool. On October 7th; the Twin Cities had the first below freezing temperatures for the season, 31 o. By the 9th, it was cool over most of the state with snow flurries along the North Shore of Lake Superior at Silver Bay. By the II th, Minneapolis recorded a record low of23° and temperatures remained somewhat below normal for the rest of the month. There was light snow in the Twin Cities on the 20th and snow was general across the northeastern part of the state on the 23rd. The first half of November was clear and mild but the second half of the month became cloudy and cold.
Most of the lakes in the state were frozen by month's end.
The most interesting bird event of the season was the discovery of Minnesota's first Cassin's Finch in Duluth on November 10 (The Loon 60:3-9). Other significant records included a Yellow-billed Loon on Lake Superior near Duluth on October 17th, two Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks in Meeker County from August 23 to October 3. Pacific Loons were seen in Duluth and in Kandiyohi County in October; Ross' Geese were at Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge and Rochester.
The first Great Black-backed Gull record away from Duluth came from Wabasha County on November 21. There was another California Gull record from Lake Harriet in Minneapolis on October 29 and 30. The only other casuals seen in the state were Ruff, Sabine's Gull, Scissor-tailed Flycatchers and House Finches.
There were numerous late dates for warblers, the most significant being a Kentucky Warbler in Minneapolis on October 14, only the second fall record for this species in the state. A Cape May Warbler remained in Duluth from November 8 to 13. A Connecticut Warbler was still in Minneapolis on October 14, the second latest date for the state.
A Northern Waterthrush was in Dakota County on the 24th of October and a Mourning Warbler in Washington County on October 19, the latest dates on record for the state. A Philadelphia Vireo on October 18 and a Solitary Vireo on October 27th, both in Duluth, were late dates for the area.
A American Pipit seen at West Twin Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area on August 8 was not only early but was the first August record for the state.
The first Snowy Owl of the season was not recorded in the north but at Pipestone in the far southwest corner of the state. I wonder how many others went through the state unrecorded? The first Northern Shrike also showed up in the south on September 24th in Olmsted County.
A Killdeer was still in Duluth on November 30 and a late Virginia Rail was seen at Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge in Becker County on November 2. I wonder if this is an indication of another mild winter?
