Mid-continent Rare Bird Records

Illinois - records complete through winter of 2002-2003 (OK)

Indiana – records complete through spring of 2007 (OK)

Iowa – records complete through winter of 2005-2006 (OK)

Kansas – records complete through fall of 2004 (When the Kansas RC was created in 1990, it in general accepted the previous records as presented in Thompson [1989 and 1992] to be valid for the state. When reporting these early records, Thompson was vague as to exact dates and locations. Since that time, the actual data upon which Thompson’s records were based have become inaccesible to Thompson. Because of this, the exact dates and locations for most early KS valid records cannot be known. Because the dates and locations for these early records are not and can not be known, they could not be used in this current work. The bird records for KS are thus likely more extensive than here reported.)

[Manitoba – “The Hudson Bay eider population has been estimated at 45,000 breeding birds, of which about 85% nest on the island dotted Quebec coast….Only about 1500 birds breed on the southern coast, including Manitoba….While some Common Eider nest at Churchill itself, they are more common near Cape Churchill and La Perouse Bay. Between 1978 and 1980, about 500 nest were found each year in birch-willow scrub on islets in the small delta formed by Mast River and Wawao Creek, near La Perouse Bay….Eight Common Eiders nested on the strip of land separating the mouths of the Nelson and Hayes Rivers in 1994. No other colonies are known in Manitoba; the nearest are at McConnell River, Nunavut and at East Pen Island, Onatrio.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), pp. 118-119.

Willow Ptarmigan

Manitoba(nest), Minnesota(3), North Dakota(2), Ontario(nest), Wisconsin(1)

[Manitoba – “Fairly common permanent resident of the far north; sporadic migrant in the northern half of the province; extremely rare in the south except in unusual invasions.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003) p. 151. “The Willow Ptarmigan’s Arctic breeding range dips around Hudson Bay, taking in the coastal tundra and adjoining forest edges of northern Manitoba, as far south as Herchmer. Partly migratory, unlike most grouse species, the extent of its southward movements varies from year to year. Peak migration near the Manitoba-Nunavut boundary occurs from mid-October through November and from mid-May to early June. The species is a regular and abundant winter visitor in the northern third of Manitoba, including southern Reindeer Lake and the willow flats along the Churchill River system….Though less regular in central Manitoba, large flocks were seen near Norway House in February 1964, and 2000 were reported flying north at Creighton, Saskatchewan (just west of Flin Flon, Manitoba) in March of 1973. These localities are near the southern edge of the normal winter range, but more southerly movements occurred in the early 1930’s. A massive invasion in the winter of 1933-1934 extended from central Alberta to northern Minnesota, and many flocks of up to 30 birds were reported in southeastern Manitoba. There has been no comparable event since then, but a small incursion in 1986-1987 resulted in sightings in Marquette, Vogar, Winnipeg, and the Lake Manitoba Narrows. Southerly movements appear to have been more frequent in the late 19th century, especially around Lake Manitoba.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), p. 152. No attempt has been made to list vagrant records in southern Manitoba.]

Rock Ptarmigan

Manitoba(fairly common winter visitor), Minnesota(1), Ontario(occasional)

[Manitoba – “Fairly common winter visitor to the coast; occasional inland in the far north.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), p. 152. “Occurring in Manitoba only as a winter visitor in the far north, the Rock Ptarmigan is arguably the hardiest of all birds in the province….Rock Ptrmigan usually arrive in Churchill in mid-October and return north in early May, though in 1930 Taverner and Sutton reported sightings into June and obtained a specimen on 19 August….Rock Ptarmigan winter along much of the Hudson Bay coast traveling as far south as James Bay. Small numbers migrate farther inland at times, with a few December records at Gillam and one bird seen at Brochet.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), pp. 152-53.

Illinois(3), Indiana(7), Kentucky(2), Manitoba(1), Michigan(9), (North Dakota- 1 hypothetical), Ohio(casual in Cuyahoga, Erie and Lorain counties + 6 ), Ontario(20 + 8), (Tennessee-1 hypothetical)

[Ohio – “Northern Gannets are currently casual late fall and early winter visitors to central Lake Erie. There are at least 19 records between Huron and the Cleveland area (Lake, Cuyahoga, Erie and Lorain counties). The earliest gannet appeared at Cleveland (Cuyahoga Co.) on November 2, but most sightings are between November 15 and December 15. These individuals usually wander along the lakefront and may appear at several locations over a period of several weeks. Most sightings are of single gannets, although multiple birds were detected during the winters of 1947-1948, 1949-1950, and 1982-1983. If Lake Erie remains open, a few gannets may remain through mid-January; one survived until February 18, 1950, at Cleveland.” - Peterjohn (2001), p.12.

Whooping Crane

Illinois(5), Indiana(2), Iowa(6), Kansas (rare spring and fall migrant with central KS the principal flyway), Kentucky (extirpated - no records since 1886), Manitoba (extirpated breeder since 1915 and currently an extremely rare migrant), Minnesota (former nesting record + 8 possible records since 1900), Missouri(5), Nebraska (rare but regular spring and fall migrant), North Dakota (last nested in 1915 and currently a rare but regular migrant), Ontario (extirpated - no records since 1898), South Dakota (rare but regular spring and fall migrant), Wisconsin(1)

[Kansas - “The Whooping Crane is a rare spring and fall migrant through the state. Central Kansas seems to be the principal flyway, with most records from Cheyenne Bottoms WMA (Barton Co.) and Quivira NWR (Stafford Co.).” - Thompson (1989), p. 201. No attempt has been made to show the individual KS records.]
[Kentucky – “Apparently occurred regularly in western and central Kentucky to about as far east as Louisville in historical times, occurring as late as the mid-1800’s.” - Palmer-Ball, Jr. (2003), p. 58. The last sighting for the state was in 1886.]
[Manitoba – “Extirpated breeder in the south; extremely rare migrant.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), p.161. The Whooping Crane was never common in Manitoba, although its principal breeding range once spanned the prairie pothole country from northern Indiana to central Alberta. Breeding was reported near Pipestone, Oak Point, Shoal Lake, Westbourne and Winnipeg. Five Whooping Crane clutches were taken at Oak Lake between 1891 and 1900…also an 1891 clutch at the Netley-Libau marsh. What was believed to be Manitoba’s last nesting pair persisted near Woodlands (likely at Shoal Lake) from 1909 to 1915….Most of the convincing Manitoba reports in recent decades have come from areas west of the Red River and Lake Winnipeg, and north to around The Pas; they are grouped into two migration periods, between 8 April and 17 May and in early October.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), p.162. No attempt has been made to show the individual Manitoba records.]
[Minnesota – The last confirmed nesting was in1876, Grant County. Eight possible records since 1900 are shown.]
[Nebraska - “The entire naturally occurring population, currently about 150 birds, migrates through Nebraska en route between its breeding grounds in northwest Canada’s Wood Buffalo Park and the winter area at Aransas NWR in coastal Texas....Most migrants in Nebraska have been reported within counties adjacent to the central Platte River, essentially from Lexigton to Grand Island.” - Sharpe (2001), p. 154. No attempt has been made to show the individual NE records.]
[Ontario – The last confirmed sighting was in 1898.]
[South Dakota – “Rare migrant, with most observations in central South Dakota.” – Tallman(2002), p.106. “Although no nesting records are known, Whooping Cranes probably nested in northeastern South Dakota…” – Tallman (2002), p. 106. No attempt has been made to show the individual SD records.]

Mountain Plover

Indiana(1), Kansas (2 nesting counties + 2), (Missouri-1 hypothetical), Nebraska (1 nesting county + 4), North Dakota (nest), South Dakota (former nesting + 2 recent records)

[Kansas - “This plover has suffered dramatic rangewide population declines. The Mountain Plover was common to abundant on the prairies of western Kansas in the nineteenth century, but it has disappeared from most of its former breeding range in the state and is now rare and very local.” – Busby (2001), p. 148. Current confirmed nesting in Greeley and Morton counties - with former nesting in Hamilton County. – Busby (2001), p. 149 and Thompson (1989), p. 216.]
[Nebraska – There is current confirmed nesting only in Kimball County. “Before the development of wheat and alfalfa ranching on the plateau lands of the Panhandle, it is likely that this species bred over large areas of the Panhandle, including Cheyenne, Dawes, and Sioux Cos. Still earlier, when bison grazing maintained shortgrass prairie considerably to the east, at least one breeding occurrence was recorded from Lincoln Co 8 Jul 1859...” - Sharpe (2001), p.160. Four records outside Kimball County are shown.]
[North Dakota – “Roosevelt mentioned nesting in Billings Co., in 1885.” – email message on Feb. 23, 2004 from Ron Martin]
[South Dakota – “Mountain Plovers were formerly rare breeders in southwestern South Dakota {Fall River Co}….” – Tallman (2002), p. 113. There is but one state record since 1950.]

[Indiana - “This species probably nested in NW Indiana pre-1850 based on reports from the Chicago area. There are a number of historical sight reports pre-1900 with no details. Since there are no details for the historical records no records have ever been reviewed by the IN BRC.” - Don Gorney from message of Jan. 20, 2003.]
[Iowa - Of 11 records, only one is from eastern Iowa. There are but 6 state records since 1900.]
[Kansas - “Primevally, it was widespread throughout this region, but...it cannot tolerate drastic changes in land use associated with agriculture that affect nest site and foraging requirements.” – Busby (2001), p. 158. There are modern nesting records only from Finney, Morton and Stanton counties. – Busby (2001), p.159 and Thompson (1989), p. 236.]
[Kentucky - “Several records: at least three historic references in Mengel; also, 25 August 1976, one bird reported from the Sloughs WMA, Henderson Co..” - Palmer-Ball, Jr. (2003), p. 164. None of these records is strong enough to place this species on the KY list of valid species.]
[Manitoba – “Extirpated breeder; occasional recent, unconfirmed reports.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), p. 176. “The Long-billed Curlew formerly bred in southern Manitoba near the Red, Pembina, and Souris Rivers. Bent listed Shell River, Aweme and Pilot Mound as nesting localities….Occasional sightings suggested that breeding populations might have persisted along th Souris River valley until the 1950’s, but recent surveys of suitable nesting habitat failed to produce any sightings.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), p. 176.]
[Minnesota - “...this species was probably a common spring and fall migrant and breeder in the southern and western prairie portions of the state in presettlement times and through the 19th century. The last breeding evidence was in 1891 (Robert). There are no records after that time until 1934.” - Robert B. Janssen from message of Jan. 17, 2003]

Black Guillemot

Manitoba(rare visitor to the Churchill area + 1 southern record), Ohio(1), Ontario(uncommon summer resident- one nesting record)

[Manitoba – “Until the 1970’s, the Black Guillemot was considered rare at Churchill, with eight reports between 15 July and 10 October. Observations have increased greatly during the last two decades, likely the result of increased coverage – especially at Cape Merry – and the species is now reported annually. Most reports are for June and July….Although pairs have been seen inspecting rocks near the mouth of the Churchill River, perhaps in search of nesting sites, there is so far no definite evidence of breeding in Manitoba.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), p. 216. “The species apparently winters in numbers on Hudson Bay. McRae noted that Paul Ratson saw them frequently during the winter while he was hunting seals at open water areas off Churchill, and flocks were reported offshore in April 1985 and April 1986. Flocks totaling 200-300 Black Guillemots were seen much farther from land in February 1974. Individuals have been found at the Churchill townsite on three occasions: 8 March 1974, March 1984, and 4 January 1991.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), pp. 216-217.]

Inca Dove

Kansas(7 + many undoc. reports), Kentucky(2), Michigan(1), Missouri(3), Nebraska(4), North Dakota(1), Ontario(2), South Dakota(1)

[Kansas – Few reports of the Inca Dove are ever sent to the Kansas RBC. The 4 records accepted by the committee are a small number compared to the actual number of sightings in the state. In a message dated Feb. 2, 2003, I received (from Max C. Thompson) a list of 35 likely correct reports of Inca Doves that were never sent to the state RC. In a like fashion, Lloyd Moore has collected 56 likely correct reports of the Inca Dove for Kansas that were never sent to the RC. This was as of May 31, 2002. There are likely more such records by now. Many of these unreported doves have been at feeders for many months and have been seen by numerous birders. Many records have photos to back them. There is also a report (from Moore) of a nesting pair in Finney County that had its nest destroyed in a storm in Oct. of 1993. In May of 2002, Moore wrote – “There are at least 60 records for the Inca Dove from 25 counties. Of these, 51 have been recorded since 1990 with 12 of these in a 24-month period from January 2000 through December 2001. The majority of records are from the southwestern two thirds of the state, from Sedgwick to Morton, nesting has occurred in Meade and Finney Counties.” – Moore (2002).]

White-collared Swift

Michigan(1), Ontario(1)

[“The nearest points of normal occurrence of the swift are Cuba and Tamaulipas, Mexico (A.O.U.1983), both over 1500 miles away. This strong-flying species is non-migratory except for a tendency to wander from its non-breeding range both in the Antilles (A.O.U. 1983) and Western Mexico (Howell, Webb 1995).”
“As well as a first record for Michigan, this is only the seventh accepted record for the United States (ABA 1996). Previous records are from Florida (2), Texas (3), and California (1). The earliest of these is from 1974 and all but the California sighting are from the fall or winter.” – from the actions of the Michigan Bird Records Committee for 1996, Jack Reinoehl.

[Kentucky – “Extirpated. Formerly an extremely rare and local resident....Between 1995 and 2000, small numbers of birds from the southern Coastal Plain were released into parts of the Nat. Forest in McCreary/Whitley/Laurel cos. in hopes of bolstering the population. However, a catastrophic infestation by southern pine bark beetles in 2000 decimated the species’ habitat and all remaining birds were relocated to South Carolina and Arkansas in April 2001.” - Palmer-Ball, Jr. (2003), p.100. Former nesting was confined to seven counties (Laurel, McCreary, Powell, Pulaski, Wayne, Whitley and Wolfe). - Palmer-Ball, Jr. from message of Jan. 27, 2003. There is one state record outside this area.]

[Kansas - “The Western Wood-Pewee is an uncommon transient and a rare local resident in the extreme west and occurs eastward to central Kansas during migration. It probably nests in riparian situations in the extreme west.” - Thompson (1992), p. 7. There is but one probable nesting record, that for Wallace County with no date given. – Busby (2001), p.226. As the Western Wood-Pewee is considered uncommon in the extreme west, it is not on the KS review list and thus records are not able to be obtained.]
[Manitoba – “Uncommon and local breeder in south-western and west-central Manitoba; rare farther east.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), p. 253.]

Fish Crow

Illinois(nest), Indiana(regular in one county, Posey + 1), Iowa(3), Kansas(1 nest + 7), Kentucky(unconfirmed nesting), Missouri(unconfirmed nesting), Ontario(10), Tennessee(nest + 1), West Virginia(nest)

[Illinois – First reported in Illinois in 1962. The Illinois Breeding Bird Atlas found this crow as confirmed or probable nesting in 5 counties (Alexander, Jackson, Pulaski, Randolph and Union). There are also valid records for the following 11 counties (Clinton, Gallatin, Jersey, Madison, Mason, Massac, Monroe, Perry, Pike, Pope and St. Clair).]
[Iowa – The first accepted report of a Fish Crow in Iowa dates from May 8, 1991 along the Muscatine/Louisa county border. – Kent (Iowa Bird Life, Vol 72, p. 46).]
[Indiana – The Fish Crow was first reported on Aug. 15, 1991 in Posey County. It is now found regularly in summer in Posey but has not been noted in any other Indiana county.]
[Kansas – “The first reported sighting was from Linn County, 30 September 1984. All other sightings have been made in Cherokee County…in the spring and summer of 1989 and 1990….In the summer of 1991, a nesting pair was observed…in Cherokee County.” – Thompson (1992). p. 80. In 1999 and 2000, valid reports were given from 3 other counties (Chautauqau, Linn and Montgomery). – 1990-2001 Report of the KBRC, p. 26.]
[Kentucky – “Uncommon to fairly common (but very locally distributed) summer resident (presumably breeding) in portions of western Kentucky....Confirmed breeding has not been documented in the state, but the species probably nest throughout its limited range.” - Palmer-Ball, Jr. (2003), p.110. There are valid reports from 12 counties (Ballard, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Henderson, Hickman, Livingston, Lyon, McCracken, McLean, Marshall and Union). All these counties are in far western Kentucky. The first state record was set on May 24, 1959 in Fulton County.]
[Missouri – The first documented report for Missouri was on June 9, 1965 in Mississippi County. – Robbins (1992), p. 231. As of 2001 there were yet no confirmed nesting records – “the bird obviously breeds in our state, but no nest has been found to date” – 14th Annual Report of the MO BRC (2001). The Missouri Breeding Bird Atlas (Jacobs, 1997) found probable nesting only in Pemisco County. By April 19, 2001 the Fish Crow had advanced so far along the Missouri River that it was reported in Kansas City (Jackson County). The Fish Crow is now off the MO review list for any section of the state south of the Missouri River. Summer of 2001, nesting Jackson County. There are valid reports from at least 22 counties.]
[Tennessee – The Fish Crow was first reported in TN on Aug. 2, 1931 in Shelby Co.. The first confirmed nesting was from Shelby in April of 1980. – Robinson (1990), p.153. There is now confirmed or probable nesting in 3 counties (Lauderdale, Tipton and Shelby) plus summer reports from 7 additional counties (Crockett, Dyer, Gibson, Haywood, Lake, Obion and Weakley). – Nicholson (1997), p. 214. There is one record away from western TN.]
[West Virginia – Buckelew (1994) and Hall (1983) report the Fish Crow as confimed nesting in Berkeley and Jefferson counties plus probable in two others (Grant and Mineral). There are also valid non-nesting reports from Hampshire and Morgan counties. These are not birds working east along the Ohio River but crows moving inland from the East Coast along the Potomic and Shenandoah rivers.]

Sprague’s Pipit

Illinois(14), Iowa(3), Kansas(uncommon), (Kentucky - 1 hypothetical), Manitoba(nest), Michigan(5), Minnesota(36 records since 1970 are shown - no nesting records since 1991), Missouri(uncommon in west + 2 records east), Nebraska(uncommon), North Dakota(nest), Ohio(2), Ontario(5), South Dakota(nest west + 2 reports east), Tennessee(16), (Wisconsin-3 hypothetical)

[Kansas - “The Sprague’s Pipit is an uncommon transient in the Flint Hills to west-central Kansas and is rare elsewhere. It is a casual winter resident.” - Thompson (1992), p. 159. As the Sprague’s Pipit is not on the KS review list, state records cannot be gathered.]
[Manitoba – “Fairly common but localized breeder in the southwest; rare, sporadic and declining elsewhere, north and east to the southern edge of the boreal forest; accidental in the far north.” – Manitoba Avain Research Committee (2003), p. 311. “Sprague’s Pipit has declined dramatically since the 19th centry, when it was ‘one of the commonest prairie birds in western Manitoba’, breeding in great numbers from the Pembina Hills to the Saskatchewan border. In fact, Thompson noted it complete disappearance from the ‘Big Plain’, north of Carberry, in the wake of agricultural development between 1882 and 1892. The species remains numerous in parts of southwestern Manitoba, though now localized and possibly still in decline. Continuing loss of grassland in general, and native prairie in particular, raises concern about its future in Manitoba.” – Manitoba Avain Research Committee (2003), p. 312. “Sprague’s Pipits occurred in low numbers in southeastern Manitoba until about 1990, after which they virtually disappeared. It is uncertain whether there was a temporary increase during the prolonged drought of the 1980’s. The species was apparently common as far east as Whitemouth during the 1930’s – another decade infamous for drought on the prairies – but it was rare at Winnipeg in the late 19th century. Thus, it may always have been a sporadic or localized bird in the southeast.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), p. 312. No attempt has been made to show records beyond the breeding range.]
[Minnesota -- “Prior to 1980 the Sprague’s Pipit was a regular but rare to uncommon spring and fall migrant in the western regions of Minnesota especially from Rock to Kittson counties. Nesting occurred in scattered localities of virgin prairie in the Northwest Region from Clay to Marshall, Pennington and Kittson counties. It was probably a common bird on the prairies of western Minnesota in the 19th and early 20th Century and in presettlement times. It was recorded nesting in Clay County from 1961 to the early 1970’s and again in 1983 and 1984. It also nested in Polk County in 1988 and Roseau County in 1991. No confirmed nesting has been recorded anywhere in the state since the above records. The species began to decline in the state in the 1970’s.” -- Robert B. Janssen from message of Jan. 17, 2003]
[Missouri – Uncommon migrant in west; one record shown for the east. Records from the west are not on the MO review list and thus western records can not be gathered.]
[Nebraska – “Uncommon regular spring and fall migrant central, rare east, rare casual west.” – Sharpe (2001), p. 340. “Most reports are from central Nebraska, especially Adams and Webster Cos..” – Sharpe (2001), p. 340. No attempt has been made to list the state records.]
[North Dakota – “Fairly common nester in the western two-thirds of the state.” – email from Ron Martin, Feb. 23, 2004.]
[South Dakota – “Rare migrant west and central, accidental elsewhere. Uncommon summer resident northwest and northcentral.” – Tallman (2002), p. 304. Two eastern reports are shown. There are two confirmed nesting records, both of which are shown (Corson and Stanley counties). There is also probable nesting in Harding and Perkins counties. – email from David L. Swanson (April 7, 2003). “I suggest revising the status to read uncommon and local breeder northwest and north-central South Dakota, along with a rare migrant west. The lack of nesting records is mainly because nobody has really tried to go and look for nests.” – email from David L. Swanson (April 3, 2003). No attempt has been made to record western migrant records.]

[South Dakota – The only records for Virginia’s Warbers in SD is in Custer County, where there is confirmed nesting. “This species was unknown in South Dakota until the summer of 1997, when several singing males were reported from Custer Co….Intensive surveys of this area during the summer of 1998 revealed that Virginia’s Warbers were widespread in this area, with an estimated population size of at least 100 pairs….This population is geographically isolated from the remainder of the known breeding range of the Virginia’s Warbler. The nearest known breeding locality is over 200 km to the southwest, near Casper, Wyoming.” – Tallman (2002), p. 312.]

Formerly recorded statewide....Subsequent to a dramatic population decline that appeared to commence in the early to mid-1960’s, this species could only be found in a few locations in western KY by the mid- to late 1980’s. For about a decade it was to have been extirpate from KY, but recent work on the Fort Campbell Military Res., Trigg Co. (as well as adjacent areas in TN), has yielded observations of a small number of territorial birds and an active nest....There is also a very recent summer sight record from Callway Co., 28 June 2002.” - Palmer-Ball, Jr. (2003), p.141. Outside the current nesting in Trigg Co., there are records of former nesting from 18 counties (Calloway, Edmonson, Fulton, Graves, Harlan, Hopkins, Jefferson, Kenton, Laurael, Logan, McCracken, Madison, Meade, Mercer, Nelson, Pike, Pulaski and Warren). - Palmer-Ball, Jr. from message of Jan. 27, 2003.]

Also shown are 16 over flight and non-nesting summer records supplied by Bill Whan.]
[Tennessee – “By the 1950’s, a decline in Bachman’s Sparrow numbers was evident throughout much of Tennessee. This decline occurred throughout much of the sparrow’s range…” – Nicholson (1997), p. 337. Nicholson reported 6 counties with confirmed nesting and another 8 with former confirmed nesting. In 2004, a Bachman’s was found for the first time in White County.]

There are no nesting records. The McCown’s is not on the KS review list and thus there are no records to gather.]
[Minnesota – “In the nineteenth cetury this species bred on the high prairie along the extreme western margin of the state from Pipestone County north to Big Stone County and occassionally northward into the Red River Valley. It disapeared from the state about 1900. Roberts (1932) mentioned breeding records from Pipestone, Lincoln and Lac Qui Parle Counties….” – Janssen (1987), p. 316.

[Kansas - “The Chestnut-collared Longspur is an uncommon transient and winter resident in central and western Kansas and is rare and sporatic in the east.” - Thompson (1992), p. 350. The Chestnut-collared is not on the KS review list and thus there are no records to gather. Formerly bred in Ellis County. - Thompson (1992) and Johnsgard (1979).]
[Manitoba – “Fairly common breeder in southwestern grasslands; rare and declining in much of its former nesting range.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), p. 367. “…this species has declined markedly in the last 15 years. Until the 1980’s, it was a fairly common sight in areas of close-cropped grassland from the northern and western fringes of Winnipeg …to Oak Hammock Marsh. It has now disappeared from these and many other former strongholds in southeastern Manitoba….The species in now largely restricted to vestiges of unbroken prairie south and west of Carberry, extending northward alongthe Assiniboine River to St. Lazare.” – Manitoba Avian Research Committee (2003), p. 367.]
[Minnesota – A regular migrant and summer resident in the western region from Rock to Kittson. – Janssen (1987), p. 318.

It was last recorded in summer in Murry County in the southwest in 1955 and in Grant County in the west-central region also in 1955.” – Janssen (1987), p. 318. Former nesting records from Polk and Wilkins counties. – Johnsgard (1979).]

Painted Bunting

Illinois(2 nesting records for St. Clair Co. + 7), Indiana(3), Iowa(2), Kansas(nest), Kentucky(3), Michigan(19), Minnesota(16), Missouri(nest + 14), Nebraska(10), Ohio(3), Ontario(16+1), South Dakota(2), Tennessee(1 nest + 4), (West Virginia-1 hypothetical), Wisconsin(14)

[Illinois – In the summers of 2000 and 2001, there was confirmed nesting in St. Clair County. There are 6 records beyond this county.]
[Kansas - “The Painted Bunting is an uncommon summer resident in the southeast, becoming less common as you move westward....” - Thompson (1992), p. 277. The Painted Bunting is not on the KS review list and thus there are no records to gather. This bunting has confirmed or probable nesting records in 21 counties. – Busby (2001), p. 397.]
[Missouri – “Rare summer resident in southwest; casual transient and accidental summer resident elsewhere.” – Robbins (1992), p. 316. There are eight counties with confirmed or probable nesting records (Dade, Green, Lawrence, McDonald, Ozark, St. Clair, Stone and Taney). – Jacobs (1997), p. 303 and Robbins (1992), p. 318. All eight counties are in extreme SW MO. “The authors know of no documented breeding records outside extreme southwestern Missouri.” – Jacobs (1997), p. 302. Robbins (1992, p. 318), notes probable nesting in Clay County in the summer of 1956. There are 14 reports shown that go beyond these 8 nesting counties. Reports from the SW are not on the MO review list and thus these records cannot be gathered.]
[Tennessee – “The Painted Bunting is a rare and very local summer resident of extreme southwestern Tennessee.” – Nicholson (1997), p. 331. There is confirmed breeding for Shelby County plus 4 records beyond Shelby.]

Illinois(3), Indiana(1), Iowa(nest), Kansas(nest), Michigan(2), Minnesota(1 nest + 12), Missouri(nest), Nebraska(nest), North Dakota(3), Ohio(1), Ontario(3), South Dakota(nest), Tennessee(1), Wisconsin(2)

[Iowa – Through the spring of 2002, there were 17 Iowa counties with nesting records. – Paul Hertzel from message of Oct. 25, 2002. This grackle was first reported in Iowa in May of 1983, with subsequent nesting documented in Fremont County in June of 1983 . – Jackon (1996), p. 390. No attempt will be made to note records outside of IA nesting counties.]
[Kansas - “It was first seen in Kansas in 1963, and the first reported nesting was in 1969.” - Thompson (1992), p. 370. This grackle has confirmed or probable nesting records in at least 57 counties. – Busby (2001), p. 413. No attempt will be made to note records outside KS nesting counties.]
[Minnesota – “On 10 June 1982, the first Minnesota record of a Great-tailed/Boat-tailed was documented…in Dakota County….The first confirmed record of the Great-tailed in Minnesota occurred eleven years later…on 5 April 1993…in Rice County.” – Hertzel (The Loon, Vol. 73, p. 108). On June 2, 2000, confirmed nesting was recorded in Jackson County. – Hetzel. There is confirmed nesting only in Jackson County, with eleven records beyond Jackson.]
[Missouri – “The first documented evidence of Great-tailed Grackles in Missouri was a specimen collected…in Holt County in 1976. The first documented breeding record was at a cattail marsh…in Holt County in 1979. – Jacobs (1997), p. 336. There are at least 12 counties with nesting records. – Jacobs (1997), p. 337. No attempt will be made to note records outside MO nesting counties.]
[Nebraska – “This species was first recorded in Nebraska in 1976 in Phelps Co….” – Sharpe (2001), p.444. “First documented nesting in Adams and Dougals counties in 1977.” – Mollhoff (2001), p. 197. There is a minimum of 16 counties with nesting records. No attempt will be made to note records outside NE nesting counties.]
[South Dakota – The first state record was set on May 14-15, 1988 in Yankton County. “The first documented nesting records for South Dakota were in April and May of 1999 in Clay and Minnehaha counties. However, summer records …were noted in 1996 and 1997…. By 1998, Great-tailed Grackles had become regular in the state, so they were removed from the review list of the SD RBRC.” – Tallman (2002), p. 401. Nesting has been confirmed in 3 counties (Charles Mix, Clay and Minnehaha). – Tallman (2002), p. 401. No attempt will be made to note records outside SD nesting counties.]
