The 1982-Spring Season 1 March through 31 May 1982 Dick Ruhme, Don Bolduc and Oscar Johnson |
For the spring season which is March
1 through May 31 there were 304 species
reported on 74 seasonal reports.
In contrast to the past few springs, this March was like old times -it snowed often and was extremely cold at times. Temperatures in the north on the ninth indicate records were broken, -22° at Duluth and -26° at Warroad.
During the middle of March, when temperatures moderated, the snows came with six and one-half inches at Duluth and two to three inches in the central part of the state. The cold remained throughout the rest of the month with above average precipitation.
Certainly the harsh winters with much snow can account for: more reports in the southern counties of birds that ordinarily remain in the north (as Ravens) and also for a greater number of dead birds (as Boreal Owls).
Interesting and unusual species reported to RBA and by observers in March were: Gyrfalcons in Duluth; Ferruginous Hawk, Big Stone (April and May in Chippewa and Marshall); Prairie Falcon, Wilkin (May in Cottonwood); Great Gray Owl, Hubbard, Beltrami (April, St. Louis); Northern American Three-toed Woodpecker, St. Louis, Washington (May in Cook); Mountain Bluebird 5 counties March through May; Red Crossbills March to April with young.
With temperatures in the fifties the first two days of April, things looked promising indeed. But on the third and fourth when the storms brought snow, severe below zero cold in the north and somewhat warmer in the south, several observers reported many birds at roadsides and feeders. The front page of the metro newspaper reported robins being driven back south! The season's snowfall was reported as 95".
About mid-April the temperatures returned to normal with above averages the remainder of the month.
April pleased many observers with Snowy Egret, Big Stone, Lac qui Parle; Cattle Egret, Olmsted, Dakota, Scott; Cinnamon Teal, Nicollet; Spruce Grouse, Cook (May in Lake); Boreal Owl April through May, Cook; Bewick's Wren, Ramsey.
The temperature in May was above average for the first few days, then normal with showers on and off the rest of the month. This resulted in good birding due to the frequent grounding of migrants. Waves were frequent and spread out as follows: Warblers: 4th to 9th in southeastern Minnesota; 20 species with 5 vireos at Faribault on the 9th; 20 species in St.
Paul on the 11th; a peak in the metro area on the 13th; Duluth on the 14th to the 22nd with 22 species reported by JB on the 2nd; and a wave on the 27th in Marshall. A wave of Least Flycatchers, thrushes and Gray Catbirds occurred on May 11th.
May produced many exciting birding reports: Yellow-crowned Night Winter 1982 Heron, Scott; Peregrine Falcon, Aitkin, Duluth, Wright; Yellow Rail, Houston; Wilson's Plover, Willets, Whimbrel, Red Knot, Pomarine Jaeger, Laughing Gull, Thayer's Gull, Little Gull, Black-legged Kittiwake, Burrowing Owl, Yellow-breasted Chat, Duluth; 300 Hudsonian Godwits, Polk; Ruff and Reeve, Aitkin; Red-bellied Woodpecker, Cook; Say's Phoebe, Rock; Northern Mockingbird, Clay, Cottonwood, Lac qui Parle, Duluth; White-eyed Vireo, Houston; Blue-winged Warbler (Brewster's), Yellow-throated Warbler, Worm-eating Warbler, Hooded Warbler, Hennepin; Kentucky Warbler, Dakota; Summer Tanager, Lyon; Hoary Redpolls late in Duluth.
