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.]
