The 1969-Spring Season 1 March through 31 May 1969 by Josephine Herz and Rachel Tyron |
In Southern Minnesota the winter was
characterized by very heavy snow
which stayed on the ground through
March. Then, a sudden change, with
snow melting off in a week, came in
early April. Very early reports on
number of individual birds were rath
69 September 1969
er disappointing although most of the
usual species appeared.
In this report we have tried to in· dicate two early dates south and north and, in the case of migrants not nesting, one or two late dates south or north. The dates are in chronological order. We have not used the word "early" and have used the word "late" only (1) when "late dates only" were required or (2) when "late dates east or northeast" were asked for. We have tried to include two concentrations if present. A few very common residents have been omitted. For others less common just the counties reporting them are listed.
