Conservation News
Chet Ogan – Conservation Chair
Our regular Conservation Committee meeting
was July 15. In attendance were Chet Ogan, John
Hewston, Sue Leskiw, and Melvin McKinney. Some
topics discussed were: Klamath Dam removal, MLPA,
Humboldt Bay dredging, billboards around the bay,
NAWCA grants, and cordgrass removal.
Sue and Mel attended a public scoping meeting
July 14 probing the Klamath Dam removal. It will take
agencies many years to get all the pieces in place for
Klamath Dam removal. This public scoping is the first
step in trying to anticipate all environmental aspects,
effects, and implications of dam removal. A next step
will be writing an EIS/EIR.
Billboards obstruct views of the beautiful
scenery around Humboldt Bay and clutter the roadsides.
Sue reported that the North Coast Railroad Authority
is trying to get billboards removed from their right-
of-way around the bay. Several years ago Humboldt
Bay National Wildlife Refuge had several billboards
removed from their property. Sue also reminded us that
four years ago this month Humboldt County Supervisors
voted to have all vehicles, except emergency vehicles,
excluded from Clam Beach. Regulations were supposed
to be written by the fall of 2006. This still has not been
done.

RRAS Tour
to Colombia
November 27-
December 9
RRAS is launching its tour program with an exciting,
educational, and “green” trip to the Colombian Andes.
This trip is being offered by Colombia Birdwatch (http://
www.colombiabirdwatch.com/about.html) and co-led by
Ken Burton, who will be spending several weeks there
ahead of the tour in preparation. The trip itinerary and
logistics are described on the Web site. Based on previous
trips, we can expect to see about 350 bird species as well
as many other animals. We also will experience the local
culture and cuisine.
RRAS is interested in promoting travel that
meets international standards for eco-tourism. CB fulfills
these standards in many ways, including support of
nature preserves, carbon offsets, partnerships with local
conservation and education organizations, employment
of native guides, and waste reduction. This is the kind of
organization with which we feel comfortable partnering.
The price of the trip is a very reasonable $3000
all-inclusive from Cali (double occupancy, plus mandatory
travel insurance). Single occupancy is an additional
$600. We are working on arranging an inexpensive flight
to Cali from Bogotá (a cheaper destination from here) or
starting the tour in Bogotá instead. With a minimum of
five participants from RRAS, Colombia Birdwatch will
return 5% of the proceeds back to our chapter for our
projects. Thus, by participating in this trip you will help
support worthy Colombian organizations as well as our
own work here at home!
Colombia ranks first in the world in bird diversity
and is now much safer than previously, as well as the
cheapest place in South America to reach from the U.S.
It is on the cusp of becoming an extremely popular travel
destination, which is likely to result in higher prices and
bigger crowds at the prime birding locations. NOW is the
time to go! For further information, contact Ken (707-
825-1124/brdnrd@sbcglobal.net) or Chris Calonje at CB
(541-891-9394/chriscalonje@gmail.com). This trip will
be limited to eight people, so act soon!
The topic of MLPA Marine Life Protective
Act was brought up at both the Conservation
Committee meting and RRAS Board of Directors
meeting. The City of Arcata has registered opposition
to a proposal to extend protection provisions to
Arcata Bay as it may prevent discharges from
Arcata’s wastewater treatment plant into the bay. At
our BOD meeting Adam Brown said he has written
a letter on behalf of RRAS supporting both MLPA
proposals on behalf of the seabird colonies that nest
and roost on the offshore rocks.
Mel attended a Harbor Commission
meeting where dredging three local marinas was
discussed. The Harbor Commission is planning to
place dredging spoils on diked sites adjacent to the
bay. We have had concerns in the past that some of
the dredging spoils may contain toxic wastes.
Chet reported that almost $1 million has
been awarded to various wetland related projects
benefiting wildlife in Humboldt and Del Norte
counties through NAWCA grants administered by
Ducks Unlimited. Some of this money will be used
to continue cordgrass removal, an invasive plant,
around Humboldt Baytidal wetlands
The next meeting will be moved back one week later
to Thursday August 26 at Arcata Golden Harvest
Restaurant at noon.
Evolution of Bird
Bills: Birds Reduce
Their ‘Heating Bills’
in Cold Climates
ScienceDaily (June 24, 2010)
The evolution of bird bills is related to climate according to
latest research by the University of Melbourne, Australia and
Brock University, Canada.
By examining bill sizes of a diverse range of bird species
around the world, researchers have found that birds with larger
bills tend to be found in hot environments, whilst birds in colder
environments have evolved smaller bills.
The study led by Dr Matt Symonds of the Department of
Zoology at the University of Melbourne and Dr Glenn Tattersall
of the Department of Biological Sciences at Brock University
provides evidence that maintaining body temperature in a bird’s
natural environment may have shaped the evolution of bird
bills.
The size and shape of these distinctive structures are usually
explained by their role in feeding and mate attraction. However,
previous research shows bird bills have a third, less appreciated
function, as organs of heat exchange.
Dr Glenn Tattersall says we know, from our thermal imaging
studies that birds like toucans and geese can lose a large amount
of their body heat through their bills.
“Unlike humans they don’t sweat but can use their bills to help
reduce their body temperature if they overheat.”
“We then wondered whether this function had evolutionary
consequences, and sought to compare bill sizes across a whole
range of species,” says Dr Tattersall.
The 214 species examined comprised diverse groups including
toucans, African barbets and tinkerbirds, Australian parrots,
grass finches, Canadian gamebirds, penguins, gulls and terns.
“Across all species, there were strong links between bill length
and both latitude, altitude and environmental temperature,”
Dr Matt Symonds says. “Species that have to deal with colder
temperatures have smaller bills.”
“This suggests that there is an evolutionary connection between
the size of the birds’ bills and their role in heat management,”
he says.
Although it’s possible that large bills have evolved to help shed
heat loads and prevent overheating in hot climates, we think it’s
more likely that cold temperatures impose a constraint on the
size of bird beaks,” Dr Tattersall says.
“It simply might be too much of a liability to carry around a big
radiator of heat energy in a cold environment.”
The research validates a 133-year-old ecological theory called
Allen’s rule, which predicts that animal appendages like limbs,
ears, and tails are smaller in cold climates in order to minimize
heat loss.
Dr Symonds says Allen’s rule has never been tested with this
large a group of animals and was more anecdotal.
“This is the first rigorous study of its kind to test this theory and
to show that bird bills have evolved in this manner.”
The paper is published online this week in the journal American
Naturalist and will be in the journal’s August 2010 edition.

 Rendezvous with Wintu at Lassen

Birding Manzanita Lake From left Jim Clark and Donna Clark, Chet Ogan, Bill Oliver, George Horn,

By Sue Leskiw

On June 25-27, several RRAS members took the Wintu (Shasta County) Audubon
chapter up on its invitation to a camp-out at Lassen Volcanic National Park. This is
the third year that Wintu has invited neighboring chapters to join it for a weekend
of birding. Eureka residents Tom and Sue Leskiw, Jim and Donna Clark, and Chet
Ogan joined Garrett and Kerry Watty from Salyer on the outing organized by Bill
Oliver. Wintu chapter president George Horn and photographer Larry Jordan also
camped out at Lost Creek group camp (visit thebirdersreport.com for photos of birds
and other animals seen during the trip).
Several “day trippers” from the Redding area met up with the campers Saturday
morning to bird around Manzanita Lake. Ducklings were out in full force as we
observed baby Buffleheads, Wood Ducks, and Mallards cruising with their mothers.
Upland brush fields and forest produced species such as Dusky Flycatcher, three
kinds of Nuthatch, and a Yellow Warbler singing atop a white fir.
Walks from the campground yielded Pileated and White-headed Woodpeckers and
Mountain Bluebirds, but Black-backed Woodpecker was a no-show. At the former
Hat Lake (now a creek since the demise of a beaver dam), Clark’s Nutcrackers,
American Dippers, and a large number of Spotted Sandpipers were noted. In between
birding forays, we relaxed, conversed, ate, and drank around the campfire.
On Sunday morning, we stopped by PG&E’s Lake McCumber to look for birds
before returning home, with the highlight being a Common Loon. Bill Oliver
compiled a list of 59 species seen by group members during the weekend in Lassen,
plus 20 species viewed at Lake McCumber. RRAS should consider a similar outing,
inviting our sister inland chapters to join us for some coastal birding.

Mining the Nuggets

“Nothing is a waste of time if you use the
experience wisely.”
-- Auguste Rodin
June 16, 2010—height of the vagrant “Silly
Season”—dawned with a high overcast. Despite the
paucity of rare birds this spring, I thought to myself:
“There’s gotta be a rare bird out there somewhere.”
As planned, I rendezvoused with Ken Irwin at the
Arcata Marsh. We covered the log pond, and later,
Crannell Road, Scenic Drive, Elk Head, and Patricks
Point, but birds were scarce.
Ken mentioned to me that his spring birding
efforts have yielded just one Indigo Bunting and
one American Redstart. I responded: “I wish I could
claim that much. What a strange spring: one of the
wettest March-May periods ever. And when it wasn’t
raining, the northwesterlies were blowing like a
banshee. In May, I went for a hike at Patricks Point
where I saw red elderberry toasted from windburn:
shriveled leaves and broken branches. Birdwise,
how was I to know that the Arctic Tern I found June
9 along the north shore of Lake Tahoe would be my
lone noteworthy find?”
Ken nodded in agreement. “It’s been so
slow, that I find myself looking at bugs, just to
stay entertained. I saw several new bugs today.
When birding is slow, I like to feel like I’ve learned
something.” “I know what you mean,” I replied.
The introduction of Steven G. Mlodinow
and Michael O’Brien’s America’s 100 Most Wanted
Birds contains the following passage: “It is indeed a
rare birder who would remain placid on encountering
an Eared Trogon or Ross’ Gull in the United States.
Such is the spice of birding, such is the glory.” Sage
thoughts, as the operative word here is “spice,”
as in rare birds are not the main course. Although
sometimes highly sought, they are unlikely to be
encountered.
Something I learned long ago is that
needing to come home with a noteworthy bird in
order to feel the day was a success is setting one
up for failure. When birding is slow, I ask myself:
“What nugget will I take home today? What did I
learn—some aspect of bird behavior, evidence of
nesting, a puzzling alternate song or call unfamiliar
to me, etc?” If one remains observant, there’s always
something to be discovered.
Sometimes, the nugget comes in the form
of a “temporal-phenologic montage,” which is
another way of saying “passage of the seasons.”
To illustrate: on April 24th of this year, I found a
Solitary Sandpiper with three Least Sandpipers in a
nondescript “wetland” puddle about 60 feet long in
the Ferndale Bottoms. Several weeks later, nearly all
the water had evaporated and the mudflat was being
visited by Cliff and Barn Swallows, gathering mud
for their nests. A common practice for swallows—
gathering mud—yet my experience was heightened
by its “time-lapse” nature and the memory of how
the site changed throughout the year.
Last Monday, July 12, I drove my regular
birding loop through the Loleta and Ferndale
Bottoms. I stopped, as I nearly always do, at a row
of eucalyptus trees. The lighting was poor, but in
the distance, foraging among a family group of
Bullock’s Orioles, were several Cedar Waxwings…
apparently feeding on the eucalyptus flower nectar.
Or were they merely feeding on bugs attracted to the
flowers? I checked several references. Waxwings
bring insects to their young at first, but switch to
feeding them berries within a few days. They’re also
known to sip tree sap and munch on flowers such as
apple, much to the consternation of orchardists.
The waxwings were too far away for me to
be sure what they were eating, but I considered
the fact that they eat tree sap—or possibly flower
nectar—to be my nugget for the day. Plus, later that
afternoon, I confirmed nesting by White-throated
Swifts at a bridge at milepost 13.48 of Highway 36
over the Van Duzen River. The colonization of the
Van Duzen watershed fits nicely with the species’
northward march, as swifts were also detected
nesting in a bridge over the Mad River in Blue Lake
this summer.
“Gardeners, like everyone else, live
second by second and minute by minute.
What we see at one particular moment
is then and there before us. But there
is a second way of seeing. Seeing with
the eye of memory, not the eye of our
anatomy, calls up days and seasons past
and years gone by.”
