The 1962-Summer Season 1 June through 31 July 1962 by Ronald L. Huber |
Weather: Practically every weekend
through the summer months was marred
by rain...as those campers among
us will recall. The summer as a whole
was cooler than usual, with only a few
periods where temperatures reached
ninety degrees or more. During many
nights, the temperatures dropped be·
low fifty degrees, even in the southern
part of the state. While the rains
flooded some areas to reduce nesting
waterbird populations from their usual
numbers (Swan Lake, Nicollet
County; Heron Lake, Jackson County;
Upper and Lower Rice Lakes, Clearwater
County, to list a few), many
new, temporary potholes were formed
in northwestern Minnesota, and some
that had gone dry during the past
four years' drought were replenished.
Monarch butterflies started their southward migration during the first week of August. On August 12, James Muggli of Roscoe, Minnesota reported a "roost" of about 150 Monarchs.
On August 18, Avifauna! Club members caught four Buckeye butterflies at Duluth, a new county record. The following weekend we caught two more, plus a Black Swallowtail and a Milbert's Tortoise-shell...all on Minnesota Point.
Although this report primarily covers the nesting season, the dates of observation usually run from about June first to September first and include some of the earlier migrants such as warblers and shorebirds. For the purpose of keeping this report as nearly up-to-date as possible, I will include the more interesting of these migrant reports (usually late July and all of August) in the Summer Season and then catch the remainder of the migration in the Fall Report.
