All fishing equipment and Zoo’s condors lay 10 eggs this spring Captive breeding efforts in Oregon are bringing the critically endangered California condor closer to recovery. This year, condors at the zoo have laid 10 eggs, the most laid in one breeding season in the program’s seven-year history. Ojai laid the first egg of the 2011 season on January 28, and the last egg was laid March 14 by Wiloq. The ninth egg of 2011 broke another record: It’s the heaviest egg in the history of the zoo’s condor program. The day after it was laid, the egg weighed 11V 2 ounces, which is “huge,” accord ing to condor keep er K elli Walker. Seven of the 10 eggs laid this year were determined to be fer tile through a process called “candling,” which uses a bright light source behind the egg to show details through the shell. This is within the normal fertil ity range for condors, Walker said. Fertile eggs usually hatch in 54-58 days, so the conservation center should see its first chick of the season later this month. The California condor is clas sified as a critically endangered species. In 1982, only 22 indi viduals remained in the wild. With the help of captive breed ing programs like the Oregon Zoo’s, condor numbers now to tal more than 370, counting those in captivity and in the wild. Condors are the largest land birds in North America with M ich a e l D urham /O regon Zo o Ojai laid the first egg of the 2011 season. wingspans of up to 10 feet and an average weight of 18 to 25 pounds. They are highly intelli gent and inquisitive, and they require a tremendous amount of parental investment in the wild. They are the thunder bird in the Native American culture. A tw ai W asco C h ief N elson Wallulatum in 2003 was asked to name one of the first con dors hatched at the Oregon Zoo. This bird was later released to the wild in Northern Califor nia. The California condor had a long history in Oregon. Lewis and Clark saw the large birds as they traveled along the Colum bia River. Archaeologists have unearthed 9,000-year-old con dor bones from Native Ameri can middens, and condors were Pool tourney honors past players There w ill be a M emorial Pool Tournament on Saturday, April 23 at the Rialto Tavern, 25 S.W.

The “Thunderbird” was considered a spiritual guide to the native peoples and is a key character in many myths. The last condor seen in Or egon was near the town o f Drain in 1904. The birds held out a little longer in California, but by 1987, the last condors were taken into captivity in an attempt to save the species. Bi ologists decided to place the re maining condors in a captive breeding program. The Califor nia condor was one of the origi nal animals included on the 1973 Endangered Species Act. Last spring was very produc tive for captive-bred condors, with 34 eggs laid among all the breeding programs. Two dozen healthy chicks have hatched at the Jonsson Center at the Or egon Zoo since the program began in 2003, and 17 Oregon Zoo-reared birds have gone out to field pens, with most released to the wild. Accumulated lead poisoning is currently the m ost severe problem facing the recovering condor population. As condors feed on carrion and other ani mal carcasses shot by hunters, they can unintentionally ingest lead from b u llet fragm ents. Lead consumption causes pa ralysis of the digestive track and results in a slow death by star vation. Lead also causes severe neurologic problem s so the birds not only starv e but have im p airm en t o f m otor functions. garbage must be removed daily before the gate is locked. Left over fishing equipment may be confiscated. A high water event washed away leftover gear last year. Fishing locations may not be held if the fisher is not present. No fishing from scaffolds. No fish in g from a boat. T ribal members must have enrollment cards on their person or risk being cited by enforcement au thorities. See the resolution for more detailed information.

The draft document pro vides an environmental analy sis of the Allotment 22 Tim ber and Salvage Sale. The Allotment 22 timber sale document was prepared by the Project Interdiscipli nary Team to provide op tions for timber harvest on a tribal allotment in the Co lumbia River Gorge east of Hood River. Two alternatives were for mulated and numerous log ging methods were consid ered for this project, taking into account present resource conditions, terrain and com ments from the allottees. The timber sale is expected to yield approximately 2.3 mil lion board feet of timber. The document is divided into sections explaining the purpose and need for action, resource-based indicators used to help the technical staff analyze and mitigate environmental impacts, and details of the alternatives. There is a map showing the harvest block, a reference table to compare the alter natives, a list of measures needed to mitigate environ mental consequences, and the Project Interdisciplinary Team’s recommended alter native. The goal of Alternative A is to continue current manage ment. Alternative B is de signed to harvest volume as requested by the allottees. The timber sale would include a treatment area of 78 acres. For more information or copies of the document con tact Bill Fish in the Forestry D epartm ent, or call 553- 2416. Tribal members have 30 days to comment on the proposed sale. 5Vy n 5tye Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry, Cell Phones Jordan, Nike!!! Open 10-6 Tuesdav-Fridav Located Next to the Teepee DELI!
