the birds observed in the Pensacola area, and I lled out and

orwarded his spring and all migration orms. Actually, theling o migration orms, which I started in Charleston in 1908,

has been made continuously over the years to the present

(1967). A ew years ago, I received a citation rom the Fish and

Wildlie Service as one o the very ew voluntary collaborators

who had made annual reports or more than ty years.

When Arthur H. Howell was writing hisFlorida Birdlife

published in 1932, I collected a number o specimens or him

and carried on a regular and most interesting and inormative

correspondence.

In 1927, I was requested by the local Council o the Boy

Scouts o America to take on the instruction o Scouts in Bird

Study tending to their eligibility to receive Eagle Scout badges,

an activity I continued or about 15 years. One o the rst

two Scouts to come to me or instruction was Dr. George H.

Lowery, Jr. Just ater he had completed his training and won

his Eagle Badge, his amily was transerred away rom Pensacola.

Although I had no urther part in the development o Dr. Lowery

as one o the leading ornithologists o the country, I shine

in refected light as having been the man who awakened his

interest in bird study. (Other Scouts whom Weston mentored

The following was written by Weston in 1967. It was found in the ruins of the Pou/ Forster homefollowing Hurricane Ivan in September 2004. Mr. Westons supervisor at the Pensacola Naval Air

Station was Arthur E. Forster, father of Dan Forster.

Iwas born on December 5, 1887, the eldest o our children o John Tucker Weston and

Eliza Ladson (Webb) Weston. I was educated in the schools o Charleston, SC; graduated

rom the College o Charleston in June 1907, with the degree o Bachelor o Science

(Engineering major); taught in a country school near Mt. Pleasant, SC, in the winter

o 19071908; acted as an assistant in the Charleston Museum until December 1908; and as an

evening part-time employee until January, 1914.

A Brief Sory of Franis Marion Weson

I was employed as a Civil Service dratsman rom December

1908 through January 1914, at the Charleston Navy Yard, thenrom February 1914, through January 1916, at the Bureau o

Lighthouses, Department o Commerce, Washington, DC. From there I

was transerred to the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida, where I

worked rom February 1916 through June 1951,when I retired.

As a child, I developed an early interest in wildlie ostered by

my ather, who took me on long bicycle trips into the country around

Charleston. While I was at college, I made the acquaintance o Herbert

Ravenel Sass, who rst opened my eyes to the interest o bird study.

Through the years, up to his death in 1958, he was my constant

instructor, mentor, encourager, and riend.

During my winter o school teaching, I met the veteran South

Carolinian ornithologist, Arthur T. Wayne, and spent all my spare

time in the eld with him.

During my two years in Washington, I met many o the leading

ornithologists o the day with some o whom I was ortunate in being

able to spend much time. Principal among them were Pro. Welles W.

Cooke, Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, and Mr. J. Harvey Riley.

When I let Washington or Pensacola (1916), Pro. Cooke

told me that I was going to an area that was practically unknown

ornithologically, and that everything I saw and reported would be

o interest. At Pro. Cookes request, I sent him monthly lists o Continues on bottom of page 3.

We are very grateful

that Dorothy and the

Wildlife Sanctuary

staff, the Rodgers

and the Borns gave us

a chance to see this

little owl.

E d u c A t i o n c h A i r M A n

It is a pleasure to inorm FMWAS that our chapter has beennotied that our proposal or a second year o the Gul

Coast Urban Education Initiative has been approved by the

National Fish and Wildlie Foundation. Last year this proj-

ect successully engaged over 1000 students in ten elementary

schools in Escambia County. We not only brought the students

on eld trips to the Roy Hyatt Environmental Center (RHEC), but

also two Audubon naturalists took our program to them in their

classrooms both beore and ater eld trips. A gap in unding

this year meant that we were only able to continue with one

Audubon naturalist, Jennier Hale, so she was not able to make

school visits.

Nevertheless, our request or second-year unding was oundto have merit. While the proposal spells out our intent to provide

the same eld trips, classroom encounters, and presence in the

target elementary schools, there are some new aspects. The most

important, and most challenging addition to our program at

RHEC is to bring live, non-releasable raptors into the curriculum.

Last year we renovated the raptor cages to prepare or ull-time

resident birds. The plan will build a trained corps o sta and

volunteers who will care or the birds as well as use them in our

educational program. This is not a casual plan, because these

raptors that can live 10-15 years in captivity will be our respon-sibility or their lietime, day and night, sunny or storm. We will

begin accepting applications or our raptor husbandry project

in March, and training will begin in late spring. We hope there

are chapter members who will nd this project is something in

which they want to participate.

A less dramatic new aspect o the proposal is to extend

our in-school visits to two target urban schools in Santa Rosa

County. Although these schools may not be eligible or eld trips

to RHEC, we believe that they will benet rom the presence o

an Audubon naturalist in their classrooms, and the chance to see

live birds up close. Finally, we will be seeking continued assis-

tance to maintain the bird bus area and the butterfy/humming-

bird meadow at the gazebo.

On a dierent note, but still related to our relationship

with RHEC, we are planning to expand the planting o native

vegetation around the bird bus area, and in so doing to create a

memorial conservation garden that will eature the renaissance

o a memorial to Curtis Kingsbery, to replace the one lost during

recent hurricanes. Your assistance in helping make this vision a

reality will be requested in uture correspondence.

An old superstition says: The way you spend the rst day

o a new year sets the direction o that year. We certainly

hope this is true because many o us spent the rst day o

2008 watching a Long-eared Owl fy away strong and ree. Dorothy

Kaumann o the Wildlie Sanctuary invited the public to attendthe release o this rehabilitated owl at Patty and

Kenny Borns home in central Santa Rosa County.

For most o us, it was the rst opportunity to

ever see this species or which there are only six

veried Florida records.

Sixty people, many o whom were FMWAS

members and birders, gathered under a sunny,

clear sky, chilled by a cold north wind, to

anxiously await the owls release. Lucy and Bob

Duncan told the group that on November 30,

Dustin Rodgers noticed his cats toying with

something near his Garon Point home. When he

went to investigate, he ound the small, brown

owl. He rescued the bird rom the cats, and the

next day his mother, Donna Rodgers, delivered

the injured owl to the Wildlie Sanctuary. Kaumann explained

that the owl had a bruised area on the leading edge o the wing

but that the wing was not broken. The bird was emaciated and

dehydrated, weighing only 200

grams. The Sanctuary sta elt

that there was a bright outlook or

the owl as it began to eat mice

immediately, gaining 70 grams inthe month up to

its New Years Day

release.

The Long-eared

Owl is a nocturnal

bird and was once

called the cat owl

because o the

tall, tuted head

eathers resembling

ears. It normally

winters rom central

Alabama and Georgia northward, and breeds across

the northern tier o the American continent. The

males and emales look alike.

What an upliting experience it was to watch this bird fy

away healthy, and hopeully ready to head back north where it

belongs!

Dorothy Kauman talks about

where to release the owl.

Pensacolas CBC weather, we had clear skies and cold, windy

weather. Participants rom Pensacola were Bill and Greta

Bremser, Morris Clark and Katy Nettles, Ann and Dan Forster and

the Duncans. A Bells Vireo* ound by Morris Clark in Valparaiso

was the outstanding bird o the count, the rst record or

northern Florida in winter. Eight Anhingas spotted by Pat Baker

and Bob Penhollow were very unusual in winter. The Duncans

ound a rst winter Great Black-backed Gull* at Destin Pass,

the rst report since 2004.

n I saw a late male Indigo Bunting near my home on 18 Dec.

Nathan Dixon observed a Groove-billed Ani,* a south Texas

bird, in Allentown rom late all through 17 Dec. Another bird

rom Texas, a Cave Swallow,* was a surprise on 23 Dec. or Will

Duncan and me in Gul Breeze. It was the second winter record

or the area. Carol Tebays sighting o a White Ibis near the

mouth o the Blackwater River on 26 Dec. was a rare winter nd.

A male Baltimore Oriole* at Glenda Bowmans home around 20

Dec. provided a rare winter record. James Peiers observation

o a singing Prairie Warbler* on 17 Dec. in Avalon Beach was

unusual. The bird should have been in the tropics and not

thinking o romance. A male Wilsons Warblerin Betsy Tetlowsyard 29 Dec. was a great nd. A lone White Pelican in the canal

behind Roy Halls house 31 Dec. was quite unusual.

The Skimmer welcomes reports of

noteworthy birds. If you have something to

report, please call Bob or Lucy Duncan at

932-4792.

Species with asterisks require

documentation so that they maybe processed to become part of the

ornithological record.

nThe winter season started with a bang when Dorothy

Kaumann (Wildlie Sanctuary o Northwest Florida) called us on

1 Dec. with the electriying news that Dustin Rodgers o Garon

Pt. ound a Long-eared Owl* which his mother, Donna, brought

in. This was only the 2nd conrmed record or the state since

1920! Lucys photographs circulated on the Florida websites and

made birders drool. It has been rehabilitated and released. The

bird normally does not winter any arther south than northern

Alabama.

n A Summer Tanager* in my yard in Gul Breeze on 1 Dec.

started the winter season o with a good omen or me. Not seen

every year, Dark-eyed Juncos requented Heidi Moores yard

in Milton rom 18 Dec. Heidi and Brenda Francisco fushed an

American Woodcock on Garon Pt. 8 Dec. A very rare winter

visitor, a Western Tanager* was seen briefy by Betsy Tetlow in

her yard in Pensacola on 7 Dec. Alex Harper spotted aYellow-

breasted Chat 7 Dec. on the UWF campus, a bird that should

be wintering in the tropics. Fred Bassett o the Hummer Bird

Study Group banded a Broad-tailed Hummingbird* at Mary Ann

Friedmans home in Baker on 8 Dec. This was only the second

local record.n Cheryl Jones reported that two rare Sandhill Cranes were

present 68 Dec. in the DeFuniak Springs area. Two Mute Swans

roamed rom Pensacola Beach to the north shore o Gul Breeze

causing numerous calls to the Duncans. No, they cannot be

counted on your lie list! They are escapees rom the owner

on Pensacola Beach. By American Birding Association rules, a

species has to be breeding successully or ten years beore its

considered part o the North American aviauna. Hey, its a ree

country, so tick it i you want!

The results o the Pensacola Christmas Bird Count are coveredin Bill Bremsers note on page . In spite o getting drenched

the aternoon o the count, everyone seemed to have a great

time and enjoyed the compilation and socializing at Bills house.

at the City Hall and Firehouse in Creole. Rebuilding is going at

a snails pace because contractors are not going to leave the

more lucrative potential o the cities. They are building up high

ground to put a double-wide on top as a temporary measure.

These tough, resilient, and resourceul people are pitching in

and helping each other with construction and repair, and they

are getting it done. The National Wildlie Reuges are not open

yet due to the slow construction o headquarters and work

buildings. The Peveto Woods Sanctuary, where many o us have

enjoyed spectacular April allouts, is beat to pieces. Most o

the hackberries are dead, and the water eature will have to berebuilt rom scratch. The roads are all ne. We think they went

under water so rapidly that they didnt suer much wave action

The meeting was wonderul. The cumulative total or

Saturday was 192 species. The speakers were great, and the

hospitality was above and beyond what we had any right

to expect. For all o you who visited Marianna Tanners

hummingbird gardens over the years, you will be glad to know

that she is ne but lost both her home and her mothers home

next door.

We went to the Louisiana Ornithological Society

meeting in Cameron, Louisiana, the weekend

o October 27, 2007. It was the rst time they

have been able to have the meeting there since

Hurricane Rita wiped the parish out. Only ve percent o the

structures were still standing ater the storm. Miraculously,

no one died. That was due to the memory o Hurricane Audrey,

which did kill over 900 people even though it was not as

strong as Rita. This time the whole population evacuated the

day beore the storm with the exception o one elderly man

who said that i his house ailed, he would drive his tractorto high ground. Having birded the length and breadth o the

parish, I can tell you, There is no high ground! The sheri

went to his house with his nightstick and asked him which

side o the head he preerred that he hit. The stubborn old

Cajun agreed to go, and when he got back, his house and his

tractor were gone.

The only building in the town o Cameron to survive was

the Courthouse, which is built like a ort. The church where

the meeting is usually held was in total shambles so we met

Tripping Report from Cameron, La. by Ann Forster

Your carbon ootprint is essentially how much CO

2

(carbon dioxide) you generate through your liestyle

over a year. The two main components are yourtransportation and home heating and cooling. So

what can you do about it? You could go out and buy

a car that only sips gasoline or a hybrid. Here in Florida most

o our electric power is generated by coal burning power plants,

a particularly polluting process in CO2as well as particulate

matter and SO2(sulphur dioxide). From a global warming and

general green perspective this is not good at all. You could put

solar panels on your house or build a windmill in your backyard.

Both would work well in Pensacola. Again the initial investment

is substantial. You can read all about it at Stepitup.com or

Carbonund.org.

But dont let the size o the problem or the cost o somesolutions prevent you rom doing something. Here are some

simple things you can do. You will realize some personal savings

and at the same time benet the environment.

n Make sure your tires are properly infatedthis gives your car

the best possible mileage.

Conservation byAnnelise ReunertDo you know how large your carbon ootprint is? Or your Green IQ? I not, you are not alone.

n Follow maintenance directives or your carthis makes

your car last longer and pollute less as it ages.

nI you have more than one car, use the most gas ecient

one most o the time, consolidate your trips, plan your route

to minimize miles, carpool, and all that other good stu we

think o when gas prices top $3 per gallon.

n Fluorescent bulbs save both money or you and energy. Did

you know that when leaving a charger or your cell phone

plugged in, it draws power even when the phone is not

charging? A nity device, Kill-A-Watt$19.15 at Amazon.com,

can tell you exactly how much energy each device consumes.

n When replacing appliances look at the energy eciency and

the environmental specs o your choices.

Trees use up ree CO2, so plant some trees. You could

also give nature a hand by canceling all those catalogsthat have been clogging your mailbox and save a lot o

trees. Annually, 19 billion catalogs are mailed out in the

US, at the cost o 53 million trees. Here are two web

sites to help end catalog clutter: Catalogchoice.org and

Catalogend.com.

team leaders Ann Forster, Jere French, Bill Bremser, Don

Ware, Morris Clark, Thomas Barbig, Merilu Rose, Peggy Baker,

James Peier, Bob & Lucy Duncan, Jan Lloyd, and the 30

brave members o their teams, they were able to nd a total

o 131 species and 17,463 birds. While this is ewer than our

record 140 species last year, it is still above the normal past

average o 119. Considering the weather conditions, this

was a ne showing. Species o note were Bullocks Oriole,

Summer Tanager, Ruby-throated, Black-chinned, and Ruous

Hummingbirds, White-eyed Vireo, Red-breasted Nuthatch,

White Ibis, Tricolored Heron, and American Bittern. Both the

Bullocks Oriole and the Summer Tanager were rsts or this

In February, volunteers throughout the U.S. and Canada are invited to

Count for Fun, Count for the Future!

Millions o novice and accomplished bird watchers can make their ascination with

nature add up or science and or the uture during the 11th annual Great Backyard Bird

Count, led by Audubon and the Cornell Lab o Ornithology. During Presidents Day

weekend, February 1518, 2008, anyone can count birds rom wherever they are and

enter their tallies online at www.birdcount.org. These reports create an exciting real-time picture

o where the birds are across the continent and contribute valuable inormation or science and

conservation.

These volunteers are counting not only or un but or the uture, said Tom Bancrot, Chie

Science Ocer or Audubon. Its un to see how many dierent kinds o birds can be seen and

counted right in your backyard or neighborhood park. Each tally helps us learn more about how

our North American birds are doing, and what that says about the health and the uture o ourenvironment.

People o all ages and experience levels are invited to take part wherever they areat home,

in schoolyards, at local parks or wildlie reuges, even counting birds rom a balcony. Observers

count the highest number o each species they see during at least 15 minutes on one or more o

the count days. Then they enter their tallies on the GBBC web site www.birdcount.org.

The web site provides helpul hints or identiying birds. Participants can compare results rom

their town or region with others, as checklists pour in rom throughout the U.S. and Canada. They

can also view bird photos taken by participants during the count and send in their own digital

images or the online photo gallery and contest.

... in the 1930s... How

was it possible, people

today might ask, that

under such primitive

and uncertain disposal

methods, we werent

inundated by trash?

7

Skimming by Jere French

The trash truck is lumbering down

the street toward me. Like some

Jurassic monster it eeds itsel,

with a great deal o clanking

bluster, rom the brown and green

cans, let as oerings street side. Twice a

week. In Caliornia, my previous hometown,

trash was picked up only once a week, by

way o motorized carts that zipped into our

driveways. Our narrow, old, tree-lined street

would not have accommodated the jaws o

the monster trucks o today, and the cans

had to be dumped by hand and re-dumped

into waiting trucks. But then, back there,

once a week was enough.

I have a dimmer memory o trash pickup

in the 1930s, in the house where I grew up in

St. Louis. A narrow, unpaved alley running

between our two streets served the garages

o both streets, and their trash disposal as

well. In that long ago era garages were builtas ar as possible rom the house, beore

architects came to realize that automobiles

didnt smell or draw fies like horses, and barns built ar

rom the house were no longer necessary or desirable or

stabling cars. It was down this alley that an occasional

trash truck came, maybe once a month, but clearly not to

any set schedule. The man who drove the truck emptied

cans that stood next to the garage, then knocked on our

back door, and i mother was homein those days she

always washe would get paid something, in accordance

with how much accumulated trash there was.

There just wasnt much, ever. Next to the garage o every

house was a wire incinerator, which we used to burn our

paper trash. I dont know what happened to garbage, as

there were no sink disposals in those days. Maybe we just

managed to eat everythingit was the Depression ater all.

Certainly one thing was clear: we accumulated very little

disposable trashanother characteristic o the Depression

being that anything at all remotely worth

saving, was. Cardboard boxes were hoarded

like gold, along with string, most paper

(always a use or any kind o paper), and

cans, which were washed, fattened, and

stored. As resourceul as we were, I was

reminded back then by my grandmother

o an even earlier time when trash was

buried, literally, in the backyard. We once

owned a 1920s cabin in the mountains and

learned where to dig or a buried treasure

o old bottles and such.

Heres the green dinosaur now. I have

a ew rotted twigs and palmetto leaves to

add to the can. My grass clippings, pine

straw, and leaves all remain with me as

uture humus. Nowadays people rake up

and bag yard waste to eed the monster

truck, then they drive to Lowes in their

SUVs (14 mpg) to buy wood chips, topsoil,

and ertilizerhauling home chemicalmulch ater throwing away organic mulch.

Once we had a pickup or bottles and

newspapers, but now we have to haul them to the recycle

center at the park. I wonder why that plan ailed.

The truck has passed, the street is silent again, save or

the hum and whirr o heaters or air conditioners, where

people crouch behind tightly closed windows in their

womb-like houses, all support systems in operating order.
