July 4, 2013: Wolf's June 2013 Species List


White-tailed Deer. 7/4/13 (Wolf Oesterreich)

Total of 79 (plus 1 sp.) avian species was recorded this month.

Based on citations in the 3rd Edition of “The Birds of Story County, Iowa,” by Stephen J. Dinsmore and Hank Zaletel (2001), plus my personal updates to the records, the Ring-necked Duck sightings may be the first Summer records for Story County.  The Blue Grosbeaks represent the 5th record for the Park and, perhaps, the 6th Story County record.

Listed below, following the species’ names, are the date(s) of sighting(s), plus the occasional miscellaneous information regarding numbers, gender (♂=male, ♀=female), age (im=immature, ju=juvenile, abp=adult breeding plumage, ad=adult, anb=adult non-breeding), color phase (b=blue, w=white), and location (BY=back yard).  The order follows the 53rd Supplement (2012) to the American Ornithologists’ Union Check-list of North American Birds and the 12th Supplement to the 7th Edition (1998).
