Sisters Country birds By douglas Beall Correspondent photo by Jerry baldock Tom Salgado, left, went above and beyond the call of duty in helping others — especially Sisters veterans. • The community turned out in big numbers to pay respects to Tom Salgado, who died of cancer last month. The tribute was a worthy one. Few have ever done so much to help a pop- ulation that both needs and deserves assistance. Tom helped veterans navigate the bureaucracy of the Veterans Administration, made sure they got benefits they have earned and helped people to get to medical appointments. He did it all without fan- fare, because it was some- thing he could do and some- thing that needed to be done. We salute Tom Salgado — a giver and a man of dig- nity and class. You will be missed. • Carmen Hull wrote: Thank you Bonnie Malone Eyebrows looking rough? for your encompassing Nugget article on ALS, which has already helped so much to open doors for discussion and shar- ing. Thank you Pastor Ron Gregg for your generous offer to devote a Sunday ser- vice to learning more about ALS and hosting another ice bucket challenge. Special thanks to Aubrey McCauley, development director for the OR/SW Washington ALS Association for your won- derful, informative presen- tation. Many thanks also to those who attended and dared to participate in the ‘chilling’ ice bucket event. The ALS Association has declared August every year the ice bucket chal- lenge month until there is a cure. Call Theresa today! Northern pygmy owls (Glaucidium Gnoma) hunt during the day. Large insects, rodents and song- birds make up the major- ity of their diet. Pygmys are found in habitat ranging from deciduous woods to high-elevation fir and spruce forests. Nesting in tree cavities, the northern pygmy-owl will lay two to seven white eggs and will continue feeding their fledglings for 30-34 days. At this time the adult male will leave the area and the youngsters are able to hunt for their own prey. In fact these fledglings have been observed hunting only nine days after leaving the nest. Northern pygmys are active during the daylight, rely on their sense sight to hunt, and will cache uneaten prey and eat it later. This is especially impor- tant for small, high-energy species that must eat fre- quently. Because of their use of sight, they did not develop the good hearing, silent flight, and exceptional night vision that nocturnal owls use in their search for prey.
