The 1947-Summer Season 1 June through 31 July 1947 by Amy Chambers |
Many persons were very helpful in
making their records as they followed
the editor's suggestions and put their
records on individual cards and in species
order, which greatly aided in the
recording of the data.
Among the persons contributing were: Duluth: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Roberts and son, Henry; Olga Lakela and her class from the University of Minnesota, Duluth Branch; Rose Schimmick; Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Boeder; Mr. and Mrs. Joel Bronoel; Mrs.
Richard Northup; Mary I. Elwell; Byron Bray; Hulda Adams; Warren Hamerston; Harry Kahn. St. Paul: Mr. and Mrs. Tilford Moore, Alma Chesley, Brother Pius, Thomas Meyer, Robert Keenan, an d William Longley. St.
Cloud: Mrs. George Lehrke. Lac Qui Parle County: Franklin Willis. Minneapolis: W. J. Breckenridge, Severena C. Holmberg, Evelyn Behrens, Lewis Barrett, Milton D. Thompson, John Pratt, Lulu May Aler, Mrs. Charles H.
Snyder, and John Futcher. Mankato: Don L. Jacobs.
Some nests recorded last year were not reported this year. Two unusual ones were: Carolina wren seen by Milton D. Thompson in Houston County in August, and the blue-gray gnatcatcher seen by The Minneapolis Bird Club on its annual trip to Old Frontenac.
This trip was unusual because it "hit" the war.bler wave, when one only needed to sit on the shore of Lake Pepin to see all the warblers.
