Spot-winged Glider (Pantala hymenaea): My first individual was found on the 2nd, along the Upland Trail. (Erv had recorded one in 2009.) 7/2/16 (Wolf. Oesterreich)
Total Length = 45-50 mm; Hind Wing Length = 40-45 mm
Flight Season = June - September
A total of 68 avian species was recorded this month, ranking this month as 6th highest July total among 19 years of records. July 2007 with 84 species remains as the highest July, while July 1998, with only 45 species, remains as the lowest.
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 sightings of 2 Short-billed Dowitchers on the 2nd and 3rd
may represent extreme early Fall records for Story County (former record set on
5 July 1982 at Colo Bogs). The 2 Caspian
Terns on the 4th are additional Summer records, while the 1 on 28th
may represent another extreme early Fall record (former set on 29 July 1994 at
Hallett’s Quarry).
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 55th Supplement (2014) to the American Ornithologists’
Union Check-list of North American Birds
and the 14th Supplement to the 7th Edition (1998).
