The m ost recent project took place in late June when members of the C apitol, Bend, Redmond and Ochoco OHA chapters gathered on the O choco N ational F orest east of Prineville to build three new wildlife guzzlers in water scarce areas of the Paulina Ranger District. "The Paulina Ranger District is a dry district,” said F o rest S ervice d istric t w ild life b io lo g ist M ike Feiger who oversees the guzzler projects. "We get less than 14 inches of rain in a year and less than 10 inches in the d rie r a re a s .” C onditions like that can make it tough for wildlife to survive during droughts or can limit their ability to use areas that otherwise have good habitat. Strategically placed guzzlers can give local populations o f big game and upland birds a big boost. Wildlife guzzlers are stru c tu re s d esig n ed to collect and store water for wildlife. They consist of a flat surface that collects rainwater and funnels it into a storage tank with a place out of which wildlife can drink. Guzzlers vary in size and some can collect and hold more than 2.(XX) gallons of water. “The g u zzlers benefit a variety of wildlife species,” said Kathy Kinkel, of the Salem-area Capitol Chapter of OHA. “We place them in very arid areas that don't have water. This opens up m ore habitat and the w ild life d o e sn ’t have to crowd around a single water source.” This is the third year OHA members have helped with guzzler projects on the Paulina R anger D istrict, which now has about 15 of these structures. O regon H unters A sso ciatio n v o lu n teers, along with volunteers from the National Wild Turkey F ed eratio n and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, donate about 9(X) hours each year working on guzzlers on the Paulina Ranger District and is equivalent to about $9,000 worth of labor. W orking w ith the Oregon Department of Fish and W ildlife, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau o f Land M anagem ent and private landowners. OHA members typically begin checking on wildlife guzzlers for winter dam age and o v erall maintenance needs in the spring as soon as melting snow allows access into the backcountry. “It’s a yearly project for us,” said OHA Klamath C h ap ter m em ber Norm Collins, “We try and go out as early in the season as we can to fix the guzzlers that are damaged and get them back in use." The Klamath OHA members and staff from the Oregon Department of Kish and Wildlife examine a wildlife guzzler on grasslands just west of Pendleton. Photo by Jim Yuskaviteh Chapter made their rounds in late May. There are about 150 wildlife guzzlers in the Klamath Falls area located on both private and public lands. M em bers o f the Lake C ounty C hapter of OHA also went out in late May to m ain tain som e g u zzlers in the D iablo Mountain area. "We will also be going out to repair some g u zzlers dam ag ed by wildfire on Winter Rim.” said c h ap te r p resid en t K eith Reed. The Lake C ounty C hapter is w orking with BLM and ODFW to develop a map o f all the w ildlife guzzlers in the area so that ch ap te r m em bers can d ev elo p an on g o in g maintenance schedule. The Harney County Chapter of OHA plans to build a guzzler this summer on Elliott Ridge west of Burns. Many other OHA chapters around the state build and m aintain guzzlers on a regular basis. h elp in g to e n su re that O re g o n 's w ild life d o n ’t come up thirsty when the weather turns hot.
