Wolf's Corner

Two Black-necked Stilts were found on the 4th, also my 4th record for the Park in 29 years. [I was in Texas the previous week and observed lots of them!] Their black-and-white plumage, black bill, and reddish-pink legs. This one is probably a female, with a brownish-black back.

A total of 142 avian species (+ 5 sp.) was recorded this month, ranking this month as the 4th highest May among 29 years of records. May 2006, 2008, and 2011, with 152 species, remain as the highest Mays, while May 1998 with only 70 species is the lowest. This total is 35 species more than last month and 2 less than May 2014.

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 female Merlin sighted on the 5th may represent a new extreme late Spring record for Story County (former record set on 4 May 2011 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, sa=subadult, ad=adult, juv=juvenile, g=gosling, d=ducklings, f=fawn), plumage (bp=breeding plumage), 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).
