    Lake Superior Lakewide Action and Management Plan 2015 - 2019 The Lake Superior Partnership September 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This document was made possible by the many individuals and organizations working to restore and protect the Lake Superior ecosystem. The document builds upon many relevant local, tribal, state provincial, national and binational plans. Special thanks to all those involved in preparing A Biodiversity Conservation Strategy for Lake Superior (LSBP, 2015); to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission’s Lake Superior Technical Committee; to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement Lakewide Management Annex (Annex 2) Subcommittee; to the numerous stakeholder groups that helped to refine the document through their review and comments at various stages of development; and to all the individuals of the Lake Superior Partnership who contributed to the LAMP’s development and who will be collaborating during the implementation of this plan. This document was prepared by the Lake Superior Lakewide Action and Management Plan Writing Team, co-chaired by Rob Hyde of Environment and Climate Change Canada (formerly Environment Canada) and Liz LaPlante of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Writing Team members included: Jen Ballinger (GLIFWC), Marilee Chase (MNRF), Faith Fitzpatrick (USGS), John Jereczek (MNDNR), Ann McCammon-Soltis (GLIFWC), Michelle McChristie (MOECC), Henry Quinlan (USFWS), Mike Ripley (CORA), Lisa Sealock (ECCC), Stephanie Swart (MDEQ), Brent Schleck (NOAA), Amy Thomas (Battelle), Michele Wheeler (WDNR) and Laurie

  • Hawk Migration Over the Western Tip of Lake Superior1
    HAWK MIGRATION OVER THE WESTERN TIP OF LAKE SUPERIOR1 P. B. HOFSLUND INCE 1951, members of the Duluth Bird Club and the Minnesota Ornithol- S ogists ’ Union have spent slightly more than 922 hours of 201 days in counting the hawks that pass over the city of Duluth during the fall migration. In this time we have tallied 159,397 individuals, an average of 172+ hawks per hour of observation. The pattern of flight can be discerned to some extent by studying Tables 1 and 2. The 93,187 Broad-winged Hawks (Buteo platypterus) and 33,475 Sharp-shinned Hawks (Accipiter striatus) make up nearly 80 per cent of the count (actually they probably make up over 80 per cent, as the 16,852 un- identified hawks more than likely contain a great percentage of these two species). The relative position of the other 12 regular species perhaps does not express accurately the true picture of the flight. There is a bias due to an uneven distribution of observation periods through the three main months of the flight. Prior to 1961, only 28 days were given to the period following the end of the big Broadwing flights in September. Consequently, we have missed, in most years, the peak Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicemis) , Rough-legged Hawk (B. Zagopus), and Goshawk (Accipiter gent&s) flights. Prior to 1961, only 80 Goshawks were tallied; since 1961, 1,117 have graced our tally sheets. It was not at all unusual in 1963 to count more Goshawks in a single observation period than we had tallied as a total during the first 10 years of observation.

The river flows 179 miles through three distinct areas: coarse soils, glacial till and outwash deposits at its headwaters; a deep, narrow gorge at Jay Cooke State Park in Minnesota; and red clay deposits in its lower reaches.

Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, nor doesmentionof trade names constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. ii FOREWORD The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created because of increasing public and governmental concern about the dangers of pollution to the health and welfare of the American people. Noxious air, foul water, and spoiled land are tragic testimony to the deterioration of our natural envi­ ronment. The Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) of the U.S. EPA was established in Region V, Chicago, to provide a specific focus on the water quality concerns of the Great Lakes. GLNPO provides funding and personnel support to the International Joint Commission activities under the U.S.­ Canada Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Several water quality studies have been funded to support the Upper Lakes Reference Group (ULRG) under the Agreement to address specific objec­ tives related to pollution in the Upper Lakes (Lake Superior and Lake Huron).
