Wolf's Corner

Pied-billed Grebes are moving through our area.  They have also raised chicks at the Park in years past.  The black ring-around-the-bill is hardly noticeable on Immatures and non-breeding adults.  Young grebes ride on the backs of their parents.

Juveniles will have some striping on their heads and faces.  Grebe legs are set further back on their bodies, making walking a bit more difficult.  They can submerge slowly, like a submarine.

A total of 121 (+ 7 sp.) avian species was recorded this month, ranking this month as the 4th highest September among 28 years of records.  September 2007 with 126 species remains as the highest September, while Septembers 1998 and 2002 are the lowest with only 61 species.  This total is 36 species more than last month and 11 more than September 2024.

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 ties the extreme late Fall record for Story County (19 Sep 2014 at AHHP).  The Lincoln’s Sparrow on the 8th may represent a new extreme early Fall record (former record set on 9 Sep 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, ad=adult), and location (BY=back yard, FY=front yard).  The order follows the 66th Supplement (2025) to the American Ornithologists’ Union Check-list of North American Birds and the 25th Supplement to the 7th Edition (1998).
