The well-traveled house inch
BIRD-
WATCHING
EH Van Blaricorn
he male house inch, along with
gold inches, makes up most of
the birds that visit my sunlower
seed feeders here in our courtyard at
Alpine House.
These inches belong to the fami-
ly of seed eaters such as pine siskins,
grosbeaks, crossbills and purple inch-
es. They nest from the lower altitudes
of British Columbia down through Cal-
ifornia and on into Mexico. The males
help with the nest construction but do
not help with the incubation except
they bring food to the females who are
on the eggs. Although they are seed
eaters, they feed their young mostly

the males also bring food to the nest-
lings.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
ANNIE
DUNCAN
This week’s athlete of the week is Joseph
Charter School student Annie Duncan.
The amazing Duncan, 17, participated in six,
count’em, six running events at the 1A state
track meet at Hayward Field in Eugene on
May 19-20.
As amazing as that sounds, Duncan placed
no lower than sixth in any of her events.
To cap off her stellar performance, after five
of her events, Duncan ran the anchor leg of
the 4x400 relay, starting out 25-30 yards
behind the Griswols anchor. Digging deep
within, Duncan closed the gap and won the
race going away, .32 of a second faster than
second place Griswold. Joseph girls track
won the state championship as a result.
Duncan is a junior and also competes in
cross-country. Her parents are Stefanie
Duncan of Enterprise and David Duncan
of Wallowa.

there is water nearby such as springs
or stock-water tanks. However, they
prefer farm land and buildings where
there is abundant food. I know, because
they used to eat our cherries that we
had close to our house when we lived
in Clackamas County. And they don’t
necessarily migrate south if we keep
putting out sunlower seeds for them.
I spend about 25 dollars per month
to feed the birds but I get a lot of en-
joyment out of watching them while
we eat our meals. I have been inter-
ested in wild birds since I was about
5 years old and there is so much to
learn about them that Charles Darwin
and the Wright Brothers studied them
intensely for many years. I don’t think
anyone can study bird behavior without
being a believer in a Supreme Being.
Yes, it is that complex and mind-bog-
gling.
Meanwhile, look out your windows
and you might see a few house inches.

day, May 28 through Tuesday,
May 31. The open area is from
the Moses Creek Lane Bridge
(County Road 42) upstream to
the conluence of Jarboe Creek.
“A relatively small run is pre-
dicted for Lookingglass Creek
in comparison to recent years,”
said Tim Bailey, ODFW dis-
trict ish biologist in La Grande.
“This year’s run is expected to
be around 500 adult Chinook,
the majority being hatchery ish.
Even though the season is short,
we want to provide an opportu-
nity to ish for the prized spring
Chinook whenever we can.”
Anglers may retain two adi-
pose in-clipped Chinook adults
and ive adipose in-clipped jacks
per day, with two daily limits in

Golf: Suto 10th at state
tournament
Tori Suto, playing for the
Wallowa/Joseph golf team,
placed 10th in the state’s 1A-
possession. Jack salmon are less
than 24 inches in length. Anglers
do not need to record jack catch
on their combined angling tags
but it is illegal to continue ish-
ing for jack chinook once the
adult bag limit is met. Unmarked
(wild) ish must be released care-
fully and unharmed.
As with the trout ishery that
opens on Lookingglass Creek
on May 22, anglers are restricted
to artiicial lies and lures while
ishing for salmon — no bait.
Anglers are reminded to re-
spect private property by picking
up trash when leaving.
A Columbia Basin En-
dorsement is required for an-
glers who want to participate
in this ishery.

second off the school record in
the 1,500 meters.
Another piece of good
news: “They’re all coming
back next year,” Roberts said.
“We’re not losing any seniors.”
Tyler Homan, Joseph’s
lone male competitor, placed
ninth in the 3,000 meters with
a time of 10:03.44.
Outlaws’ Perren claims
three medals
In class 2A action, Enter-
prise’s Nathan Perren won sil-
ver in the 300-meter hurdles,
bronze in the high jump and
another bronze as part of the
Outlaws’ 4x100 relay team.
The Enterprise boys placed
11th in the ield of 31 teams,
while the Enterprise girls
placed ninth.
Coach Dan Moody applaud-
ed his squad’s effort, which in-
cluded the breaking of several
school records.
“I thought they competed
very well,” Moody said. “You
always expect the best, and I’d
like to have seen us win a few
events, but that didn’t happen.
“Time-wise, my goodness,
Eliza (Irish) took 5 seconds
off her (personal record) in the
800 and also broke the school
record. In the mile relay, the
girls were wanting to break the
school record, which was 4:12,
and they ran a 4:10. It’s hard to
fault anything they did.”
Moody also praised the per-
formance of freshman Karli
Bedard, who placed second in
the high jump with a 5-01 leap,
a mere inch below winner Toni
Hall of Bandon. Perren ended
up competing in four events in
the same day — the 100 meters,
300-meter hurdles, 4x100 relay
and the high jump.
“The 4x100 was going on at
the same time as the high jump,
so it was a little hectic, but he
tied his personal best,” Moody
said.
He also lauded the perfor-
mance of shot putters Blaze
Lepper of Enterprise and Wal-
lowa’s Chandler Burns, who
were irst-timers at state.
