This Barred Owl was found at the bluff woods on the 23rd. 9/23/14 (Wolf. Oesterreich)
A total of 99 (+ 1 sp.) avian species was recorded this month, ranking this month as the 6th highest September (& tied with 2012) among 17 years of records. The Carolina Wren was #267 for my Yard/Park List.
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 single Eastern Kingbird on the 19th may be a new extreme late Fall record for Story County (former record set on 18 Sep 2004 and 2008, both at AHHP). The 2 Harris’s Sparrows on the 23rd may represent a new extreme early Fall record (former record set on 25 Sep 2006 at AHHP).
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).
