The 1983-Fall Season 1 August through 30 November 1983 Dick Ruhme, Steve Carlson, Donald Bolduc, and Oscar Johnson |
For this period there were 65 reports with 294 species recorded.
In spite of the extreme heat and high humidity of summer, the warbler migration began the last part of July. The August temperature was 6.2° above normal, precipitation was.5 inch below normal. When the rains brought a little relief from the heat around the 16, 20 and 25th of August the warbler migration was more evident.
Somehow the unrelenting heat continued into the first few days of September. Then occasional rain during the rest of the month cooled things off and we were back to near normal. Temperatures were 2° above normal with precipitation.8 inch above normal. Reports from Cook County indicated that a substantial warbler migration was taking place the first half of this month. At other locations many flycatchers and warblers were on the move around the 5th. A large mixutre of birds migrated farther south along the north shore on the 24, 25 and 26th. Common Nighthawks and Chimney Swifts were numerous around the metro area on the 29th and 30th.
October was cool and rainy; temperatures averaged I. 2° below normal, precipitation . 76 above normal. Cook County had 9" of snow on the 13th. There were more than the usual number of migrating warblers from the north shore southward.
Sparrows moved into the east central region on the 12th and 17th. A great number of Red-winged Blackbirds (250,000) and grackles (50,000) were reported from Houston County on the 20th.
If the almost two full days of sunshine in November did not provoke comments about the weather, the record snowfall did! Duluth had a record l6 1f2 inches for one day; the metro area had 30.4 inches, the most since 1940. Even with a harsh early winter some hardy species remained; American Robin, Brown Thrasher and White-throated Sparrow.
There were many reports of late nesting and consequently young birds late. This was probably due to the late spring weather.
Some unusual species or numbers reported were: Arctic Loon, Cass Co.; Little Blue Heron, Rice Co.; about 12,000 Tundra Swans over the metro counties on Nov. 25; Wild Turkey Vultures, Bald Eagles and Merlins broke previous highs at Hawk Ridge, Duluth; Jaegers, St. Louis Co.; Black-legged Kittewakes, St. Louis and Carlton Co's.; Sabine's Gull, Lincoln Co.; very late Yellow-billed Cuckoos in Scott and Cook Co's. -a nest with young in Crow Wing Co. in Sept.; Groove-billed Ani, seventh record for the state, Brown Co.; Red-bellied Woodpecker, Becker Co.;
Acadian Flycatcher, Anoka Co.; Carolina Wren, Crow Wing Co.; Yellow-breasted Chat, Cook Co.; a very late Blue Grosbeak, Rock Co.; Lark Bunting, St. Louis Co. and a Gray-headed race of the Darkeyed Junco, Hennepin Co.
