June 1, 2020: Wolf's May 2020 Wildlife Report

While searching for warblers, thrushes, and vireos in the bluff woods I flushed 4 American Woodcocks from a footpath.  They all flew off in different directions, but one dropped down in front of me.  Woodcocks are shorebirds (Scolopacidae), but prefer forested areas and old fields.  In early Spring the males perform a "sky dance" at dusk and dawn.  With poor light conditions, they are usually heard (buzzy peent) more than observed. (Wolf. Oesterreich, 5/22/20)

A total of 163 avian species (+ 2 sp. & 1 hybrid) was recorded this month, ranking this month as the highest May among 23 years of records.  May 1998 with only 70 species is the lowest.  This total is 38 species more than last month and 13 more than May 2019.

 

Based on citations in the 3^rd Edition of “The Birds of Story County, Iowa,” by Stephen J. Dinsmore and Hank Zaletel (2001), plus my personal updates to the records, the Willow Flycatcher sighted on the 12^th may represent a new extreme early Spring record for Story County (former record set on 19 May 1984 at Hendrickson Marsh).  The White-crowned Sparrow observation on the 23^rd may be a new late Spring record (former record set on 22 May 1993 at Ames & in 2017 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, bp= breeding plumage, ad=adult, anb=adult non-breeding), color phase (b=blue, w=white), and location (BY=back yard, FY=front yard).  The order follows the 60^th Supplement (2019) to the American Ornithologists’ Union Check-list of North American Birds and the 19^th Supplement to the 7^th Edition (1998).
