Area birders plan holiday watch
By E. G WHITE-SWIFT
Of the Emerald
Don’t expect to find a partridge in a pear tree this
Christmas. Eugene birdwatchers have been looking
each Christmas season for the last 35 years with no
luck.
They haven't found many pear trees, either. It's all
part of a national tradition called the Christmas Bird
Count.
Count areas are organized wherever qualified
teams of birdwatchers can be put together, from
Alaska and Canada and as far south as Venezuela.
Each count area leader chooses a central focal point
for a 15-mile circle. Each team makes a search of its
assigned count circle during one calendar day of the
Christmas holiday season, compiling a species-by
species list of the numbers of all the birds it can find.
Eugene’s count circle is centered on the Danebo
School. The circle takes in most of Fern Ridge Re
servoir to the west; Alvador; Milorn and Riverview
School to the north; Coburg; Armitage Park and
Springfield; Lane Community College; Spencer's
Butte; and parts of Fox Hollow Road, Lorane High
way, and Coyote Creek Rd
Last year, 74 Eugene birdwatchers combed the
count circle from sunrise to sunset. The overcast
skies and slight breeze were not ideal weather condi
tions, but the experienced birders still counted
68,896 individual birds within the circle
"In recent years,” says Chip Jobanek, co
compiler of the count results, "the Eugene Chnstmas
Bird Count has established a long string of counts
recording over 100 species of birds In fact, any count
failing to exceed 100 species would have to be
judged a major disappointment.
"Last year’s count maintained that string easily
with 123 species," he adds. The record count is 130
species found in 1973. Jobanek credits increased
participation and advanced equipment for the count
success.
The Eugene count is just one of the 21 count
areas around the state. Portland, Salem, Corvallis,
Baker, Coos Bay and the Malheur Wildlife Refuge
are a few of the other counts. In figures compiled by
Jobanek, birders around Oregon found about 235
species and counted over 520,000 individuals.
Nationwide, 124,651,593 individual birds were
sighted by 28,688 qualified observers who were or
ganized into teams which covered 1,141 count
areas. The complete count lists are published in the
July issue of American Birds, the Audubon Society’s
ornithological journal.
The findings ranged from zero birds to millions
Point Barrow, Alaska, found zero species and 'about
zero individuals.'' Catemaco, in Vera Cruz, Mexico,
spotted more species than anyone (293). Squaw
Creek National Wildlife Refuge, Missouri, with a
huge concentration of wintering blackbirds, had the
highest total of individual birds, 38,568,401, although
it represented only 58 species.
All this is a far cry from the first Christmas Brd
Census taken on Christmas Day, 1900, Brd-Lore
editor Frank Chapman proposed "spending a portion
of Christmas Day with the birds and sending a report
of the "hunt to Brd-Lore before retiring that night
The suggestion was made as an alternate activity to
the traditional Christmas “side-hunt'' on which hun
dreds of birds were shot during a single hunt
Eugene bird "hunters will be counting the birds
on Dec. 26 this year, Chip Jobanek (747-7598) and
Dan Gleason (686-4535) are coordinating all the in
terested birders. A complete list of all the bird counts
around the state is available in the University's Survi
val Center
Who knows, they might even find partridge this
year.
Collector's Corner joins Goodwill store
By USA JOSLEN
Of the Emerald
The Women’s Auxiliary of
Goodwill Industries of Lane
County has incorporated its
Collector s Comer Store within the
Eugene downtown Goodwill
store, 72 E. 11th Ave
The Collector's Comer Store,
formerly located in the old Mont
gomery Ward's store on West
11th Avenue, opened Dec. 2. The
store was moved because the
lease ran out on the Ward's build
ing.
The Collector’s Comer Store
features antiques, old books and
records, picture frames, china,
silver, candlesticks and dolls. The
store even cames old fnjrt jars — the
blue" Ball type with a metal clasp
The store may occasionally sell
old clothing, but usually the
clothes are used in the Auxiliary s
fashion shows
The store is staffed by 50 volun
teer women They use books to
judge the value and price of anti
ques, silver and china Auxiliary
member Ann Lynch said they've
been dealing with valuable items
like this "for a good many years,”
although they often have "real old
stuff" appraised.
The collectable items come out
of regular d&nabons. which are
received on the philosophy that
"something somebody throws
away, somebody else wants ."
Ann Lynch satd on rare occa
sions someone will leave Goodwill
a house full of antiques in their will
Comparing the store's prices
with other secondhand antique
shops. Ann said that they are
probably lower
"Antiques can really be jacked
up in private places, but in a
Goodwill antique store, there may
oe something that is hidden and
not priced very high ” She added
that the store does try to stay in
competition so private dealers
don't come in and buy everything
Ann said the store was doing
great so far. She added, "We think
that it's going to help the sales in
the Eugene store as well as the
Auxiliary's sales We think it'll
bnng more people to the store "
The store's profits will go to
Goodwill Industries programs for
handicapped people in this com
munity The programs, staffed by
185 persons, include a rehabilita
tion facility for mentally, emotion
ally, and physically handicapped
people
The Collector's Corner Store,
open 9:30 a m to 4:30 p.m., may
