Students escape to study birds at Malheur While classroom work was, loading up on most of us, biology instructors John Snively, Daryl Hampton and Shirley Cressler led a group of 55 students to study the geology and biology of Malheur Wildlife Refuge May 8-11. The Malheur refuge is one of the most important breeding and nesting areas for migratory birds in the Pacific Flyway. The 108,850-acre refuge is located in the high desert country about 32 miles southeast of Burns. The group spent most of its time trying to observe the 227 different types of birds that have been sighted on the refuge since 1908. They also explored Diamond Craters, an area of recent volcanic activity near the refuge. Doug Jones, a student on the trip, said, “It was a very enlightening experience. I saw a lot of birds I didn’t know existed. I especially liked the owls, hawks and egrets. Diamond Craters was very in teresting and we spent many hours there. Since mv maior is geology, I found the explosive craters and spatter cones most fascinating.” Snively said, “Considering the cloudy weather, things really went well. It prevented us from going to some places, but we still saw about 85 species of birds and everyone seemed to enjoy hiking around Diamond Craters.” Community By Mike Koller Of The Print The final three workshops in a series concerning community development, sponsored by the College, will focus on organizing the elderly, land use and community information and communications sustpms Dave Dickson, community development supervisor, said that the community develop ment workshops are designed SHUTTER BUGS —Students snap photos during Malheur vacation.
