BoARd MeetInG HIGHLIGHts SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2011

By Nancy Howard

“Music for the Birds,” our fundraising concert for 2011 will be held november 11, 2011 (that’s 11/11/11). This is our fundraiser party for the year and WE NEED YOU to sign up for a lovely evening of great music, food, raffle items, and more. If you can’t attend, please consider a donation of your choice. For a $200.00 donation you will receive a lovely photographic documentary of Tillman Crane’s Jordan River Photographs Reawakened Beauty. Please see the registration form in this issue or, for a link to online registration go to www.greatsaltlakeaudubon.org. With your help we can continue our restoration of the Jordan River Migratory Bird Reserve, education events, and conservation issues.

It was a momentous evening in September to have our first board meeting of the year on the Jordan River Migratory Bird Reserve (JRMBR) site at 106th So. In spite of a few mosquitoes, it was a beautiful evening. The moon was full and a large flock of geese flew low over us just before sunset. GSLA owns 12 of the 120 acres--volunteers, led by Keith Johnson, have been working for 10 years planting trees to establish habitat for birds and wildlife. A committee has been formed to develop a long-term financial plan and to develop and write a long-term operation and maintenance plan.

John Bellmon was elected President of the Audubon Council at the September meeting. Steve Erickson was elected Audubon Policy Advocate for another term and the grazing policy for Rich County was accepted. St George will host the next Council meeting.

The September general meeting program on Urban Bird Survivors was presented by Christine Stracey. She researched Mockingbirds in Florida for her PhD research. It was very interesting and educational. Our general meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of each month at Sugarhouse Garden Center. Check out the field trips and events in the Pelican or go to our website www.greatsaltlakeaudubon.org for program details.

Our chapter is still seeking a person interested in becoming our chapter president. The Board and the officers are very active and would provide meaningful support to the new president. So we hope that someone will step up.

The Pelican 6

50 Years of Change (continued from page 6 of the previous issue of the Pelican) Our impression was that the newsletters from the 1960s contained more personal information than the current Audubon Society newsletters. Throughout the issues were announcements of births, sickness, deaths, vacation trips, meeting at-tendance, etc. We found out in the November 1961 issue that the secretary (Mrs. Peggy Nugent) was having trouble with her thumb so Elsie Geoghegan volunteered to type the stencil for the newsletter. Another note of interest in the November 1961 issue was that Dr. and Mrs. William Behle were touring Europe and had traveled in excess of 4,000 miles. In the February 1961 issue we learned that the evening speaker was Clayton White, a graduate student, and he spoke on birds of prey (way to go Dr. White). We liked a quote from R. H. “Cap” Blohm’s presentation at the December 1964 meeting. It went something like, “Beware of the spring peeper as he carries the spring fever virus leading to nostalgia, uncut lawns, empty church pews, and ‘fisherman’s’ wives.” Every spring we feel the same way when the spring peepers begin calling. The newsletters were also designed to be a learning tool with articles on research, book reviews, etc. Often harvest num-bers were mentioned to illustrate the impact of hunting. In 1962, it was reported that 560 grizzly bears, 167 polar bears, 1,129,716 white-tailed deer, and 620,515 mule deer were harvested in the U.S.

Several notes throughout the 1960-1966 timeframe mentioned the rarity of Sandhill Cranes. On the 1954 Utah Bird Check-list the Sandhill Crane was listed as a rare migrant (RT for rare transient in today’s terminology). By the 1961 checklist, their status had been dropped to accidental (A). On the 2004 Utah Bird Checklist, the Sandhill Crane is listed as FS or fair-ly common summer resident. Checking the Christmas Bird Count (CBC) historical database for 1960 through 1970 (CBC 61-71), we noted that only one Sandhill Crane was recorded in Utah and that was on CBC 70. In contrast, the CBC records for 1999-2008 (CBC 100-109) showed Sandhill Cranes recorded every year with a high count of 1,656 on CBC 109.

Christmas Bird Count (CBC) experiences and data were mentioned often. We offer a few examples of interesting reports. After reading a report by Stewart Murie in 1965 on the results of the Parowan CBC, we became interested in this CBC as it is not a currently active circle. The CBC database shows the Parowan circle (UTOA) was run every year from CBC 64 through CBC 71 (this is from 1963-1970). UTOA habitats were classified as 35% shrub, 30% farm, 8% grass, 20% pinyon-juniper, 4% town, and 3% salt flats. A species sampling during this period showed annual variation of bird numbers on UTOA ranging between 12-26 Bald Eagles, 5-15 Northern Shrikes, and 19-940 Pinyon Jays, along with the many other species reported. Anyone wanting to check out this area can enter the coordinates of 37.8833 and -112.8667 on a mapping (GPS) program. Another interesting report was of two Sprague’s Pipits reported on the 1964 count (CBC 65). A search of the CBC database from 1952-2008 revealed Sprague’s Pipits were only reported on CBC 64 (5), 65 (2), 66 (2), 67 (1) and 80 (5). They were never reported on more than one circle in any given year. The 2004 checklist of Utah birds does not list Sprague’s Pipit as a documented species in Utah. These types of “anomalies” in the CBC database make for interesting talking points.

We’ve included a few interesting comments from the report on the 1959 Salt Lake City CBC (reported in the January 1960 issue). First, the municipal garbage dump, a couple of pig farms, and the Bountiful area attracted 31,980 Starling, 1 Her-ring Gull, 10 California Gull, and 5,700 Ring-billed Gull. Second, not a single Bohemian Waxwing was sighted. Finally a few other tidbits from the list, 800 Whistling Swans, 90 Baldpates, 7 Blue-winged Teal, 2 Marsh Hawks, 1 Pigeon Hawk, 804 California Quail, 40 Steller’s Jays, 7 Northwestern Shrikes, 369 Pale Goldfinch, 210 Black Rosy-Finch, and 68 Gam-bel’s Sparrows. A total of 82 species were reported. The 1961 CBC was reported in January 1962 and reported a count of 594 Bohemian Waxwings which points out the irruptive movement patterns of Bohemian Waxwings.

Changes in numbers of many other bird species were discussed. One reference was made to Utah’s Sharp-tailed Grouse population (the Columbian race of the Sharp-tailed Grouse). In the 1890s the birds were so thick that Dr. W. W. Henderson of the Utah State Agricultural College (now USU) said, “You can see tens of thousands in a day’s ride.” Although it is our opinion that this is an exaggeration, we do know that Utah’s Sharp-tailed Grouse numbers decreased drastically during the first half of the 1900s. It was estimated that only 1,600 birds remained in Utah in 1963. Although numbers have increased, the Sharp-tailed Grouse still warrants coverage, as a sensitive species, in the book entitled, “Utah’s Featured Birds and Viewing Sites.” Currently, Sharp-tailed Grouse are limited to remnant and fragmented populations in Box Elder, Cache, and Morgan counties. The numerous field trips reported seemed similar to current birding trips. These were mostly small groups of individuals visiting familiar places on repeated trips. The most mentioned birding places were Mueller Park, Farmington Bay, Little Cottonwood Canyon, Toole County, and a couple of cemeteries. With the Antelope Island Cause-way and several other access points, we believe the access to the Great Salt Lake habitats has improved since the 1960s. With better water treatment facilities, we hope the water quality in the Great Salt Lake has improved. The fieldtrip groups may have been smaller in the 1960s as several reports mentioned only one or two people traveling to a destination.

50 Years of Change continued from previous page..........We now have many choices for bird identification guides and bird finding areas (birding trails maps, etc.). In the 1960s only the Peterson Field Guide was mentioned for bird identification and only Pettingill’s bird finding guide was men-tioned.

Summary:In summary, we found reading the Utah Audubon News issues from the 1960s very interesting and informative. We found many similarities with today’s birding experiences and newsletters. However, there were also some differences. One good feature was the “bulletin exchange” program and using interesting, informative, and educational information from other newsletters to improve the Utah Audubon News. We noted some tension between “hunters” and “bird watchers,” but also noted projects of cooperation. For example, the January 1960 issue of Utah Fish and Game Magazine published short statements where common interests were found. The title of these articles make common interests self evident – “Pollution, the worst poacher,” “Cooperation, key to conservation,” and “Off season hunting.” We are happy that bird-ing is still an active and enjoyable activity in UtahPlease see this article in its entirety on our website: www.greatsaltlakeaudubon.org
