4 Wednesday, July 31, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Antique and craft show draws a crowd Sisters Country birds By Douglas Beall By Jodi Schneider Correspondent Correspondent Swarms of people browsed through hand-crafted goodies and vintage trinkets at Sisters Arts and Crafts Festival and Antiques in the Park at Sisters Creekside Park for a weekend of rare finds. Wide assortments of col- lectible antiques were dis- played by vendors from antique teakettles to vintage posters. Mixed in the huge treasure chest that spread across the park lawn were an array of crafts from infused glass to metal art. The combination of antiques and crafts together made for an eclectic show for people of all ages. Nearly 50 vendors filled their booths with artwork, jewelry, vintage furniture, and rare finds such as a 19th century gun case. Los Angeles native Katt Desehene and Katya Gogol from Russia are best friends and think of themselves as <Cosmic Twins,= which is the name of their handcrafted jewelry business. This was their second time participat- ing in a craft show as artisans. <We met in Los Angeles where I was selling rocks and gems. Katt is a jew- elry maker and works with a lot of copper,= Gogol said. <We decided to learn how to design both together.= Desehene added, <When we realized that we had so many similarities in common, PHOTO BY JODI SCHNEIDER Katt Desehene and Katya Gogl are starting a new company.

R E C N A R U S FREE I N ISON! COMPAR COM The prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus) breeds from southern British Columbia south to north-central Mexico and western Texas. It spends its winters within its breeding range, includ- ing Central Oregon and farther east into the Great Plains states. Their pre- ferred habitats include dry plains, sagebrush, desolate mountains and prairies. Prairie falcons in summer eat mostly small mammals, particularly ground squir- rels. They also eat pikas, birds, and insects. During courtship, the male and female spend a month or more visiting potential nest sites together. The site they select is most often in a natural crevice, pothole, or ledge on a cliff or steep bluff, with an over- hang to protect the nest. It often shares its nesting cliff with ravens, golden eagles, and red-tailed hawks. Two to six creamy white eggs are laid and incubated for 29-39 days, and the young leave the nest in approximately 45 days. The prairie falcon was first described in 1850 by Hermann Schlegel, a German ornithologist, and is similar in size to the pere- grine falcon, 15 to 19 inches tall with a wingspan of 35 to 45 inches. A group of falcons are referred to as an <eyrie,= <tower,= <bazaar,= <stooping up,= or a <ringing up.= To view more images of the prairie falcon, visit http:// abirdsingsbecauseithasa song.com/recent- journeys.
