The 1983-Spring Season 1 March through 31 May 1983 Don Bolduc, Oscar Johnson and Dick Ruhme |
For this season, more than 70 reports and individual sightings were received, many of them compilations of two or more observers. In addition to most Regular species, seven Casual and three Accidentals were recorded.
After several years of tallying seasonal reports, we 've come to the conclusion that no migration ever proceeds according to "average" dates. Last Spring, mild weather during late February and early March encouraged a number of exceptionally early arrivals, including the state's first March records for Swainson's Hawks. Note the many early dates on waterfowl. Following that, however, were much colder temperatures and heavy snows during March and April and lingering coolness into May. The result was a hiatus in the migration and some "leapfrogging" that brought a confusion of sightings earlier in the north of the state than in the south.
To reward faithful watchers, Spring '83 brought a good share of rarities and unexpected observations: Mute Swan at Duluth, Ross's Goose in Washington and Olmsted Counties, Ruff in Lyon, St. Louis and Steams. Also noted were: Arctic Tern in Duluth, Say's Phoebe in Cook County (!), Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in Cook and Hennepin Counties, Hermit Warbler in Lac qui Parle, Worm-eating Warbler in Blue Earth and Brown Counties and Western Tanager in Beltrami.
Reports of scarce or elusive Regular species included Yellow Rail, Red Knot, Little Gull, Burrowing Owl, Mountain
Bluebird, Northern Mockingbird (four different locations) , and the all-but-extirpated Sprague's Pipit. Also, of special interest were Parasitic Jaegers, uncommon in Spring, at Lake Pepin in March and Duluth in June. Well outside their normal ranges were Northern Shovelers off the North Shore in Cook County.
This report concludes with a final word, a plea really, from your compilers. New report forms have been designed and mailed to all regular contributors. Please use them in place of any older forms you may have on hand. You see, each of us handles one page of the form, and now, the new taxonomic order has moved certain species from their previous locations.
The task of tallying them will become much more complicated, and more likely to result in errors or oversights, if we must reconcile two or more different species lists handled by different people. Thank you for your cooperation and your continued service to ornithology in Minnesota.
