Despite the continual harassment by photographers, the two Great Horned Owl juveniles grew up and left the nest. The first one departed from the nesting tree area on the 17th and the second one on the 23rd. The photograph shows the second one early in the morning before leaving the nesting snag. Later, while on my last lap, I spotted an adult perched in a tree along the west side of Pool F. I walked through the dead weeds to mid-point and scanned the woods. The youngster was spotted near the top of a tree, deep within the woods.
A total of 126 avian species (plus 4 sp. & 1 hybrid) was recorded this month, ranking this month as the highest April among 24 years of records. April 1998 with only 61 species remains as the lowest. This total is 41 species more than last month and 1 more than April 2020. So far, a total of 135 species have been recorded this year.
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 Bank Swallow on the 15th may represent a new early extreme Spring record for Story County (old record set on 17 April 1985 at Ames, also at Ada Hayden HP in 2011). The male Baltimore Oriole on the 7th may also set a new early extreme Spring record (old record set on 24 April 1982 at Ames). The single Gray Catbird on the 28th and the Rose-breasted Grosbeak on the 27th tie the early extreme Spring records set in 1976 at Ames and 1986 at Brookside Park, respectively.
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, sa=sub-adult, nb=non-breeding), color phase (b=blue, w=white), and location (BY=back yard, FY=front yard). The order follows the 61st Supplement (2020) to the American Ornithologists’ Union Check-list of North American Birds and the 20th Supplement to the 7th Edition (1998).
