16A M&L TfBUgBi , ttM9.on, Sunday, July 13, 1958 Diary Jg3Hi of a KT Bird Wqtcher ffi 1 Saturday, July The day -ws hot. This is the sort of weather when every home should have a bird bath. I notice how much ours is being used. A meadowlark, though, didn't find the bath and was trying to (get itself wet in a pitiful little trickle that ran alonQthe driveway. Other birds always seem to prefer the spray of a sprinkler. This is true of the lesser goldfinches In fact, these jrute little birds seem to have an aversion to going on th ground. They feed on seeds, but always on the tops of the plants bachelor buttons, thistles, or whatever it may be; but if any of the seeds fall on the ground they seem to leave them for other birds. They are an off the ground bird and they ire so little and light that even a small plant can support them. Sunday, July S This was another hot day and I had a hot trip. I left shortly before noon with three junior age children for our church camp which is located in the foothill area about 30 miles southeast of Portland. It was hot all the day, although the air began to feel a little fresher when we got north of Salem. At Camp Adams, though, It was very nice by the time wgot there. The camp has 200 acres mostly in woodland with two streams flowing through it, Milk creek and its little tributary. Nate creek. The water in these streams is cool ' enough for trout and often too copl for human beings, espe cially tender ones like me. I have been at this camp many times before, but some changes have com since I was here last. Because some trees fell in a storm it was necessary to relocate the chapel in the woods. The new one ic just as beautiful as the old one was, though. As always before, the Swainson's (russet-backed) thrushes sing thSr sweet songs to accompany the vesper y service. JInday. July 7 The avowed purpose of this junior camp is to help boys and girls come closer to God as they explore the wonders of nature. This fits well with my philosophy and it also seems to fit well the natural interests of these juniors. As I took a group out on their first "discovery group" hike you could see how much they enjoyed finding things in the woods and along the stream. One little girl caught two bugs. One she named "Positive" because she was positive what kind it was. The other she named "Beautiful" because of its black and wQtte pattern. Two boys and I were poking around in one section of the woods and a flock of chestnut-backed chickadees came by poking around for insects and grubs on the ends of branches. We got some pretty good views of them. Then came a red-breasted nuthatch, going sideways or up or down on the trunk of a tree, very cute and interesting. Along the stream bank some of the others found interesting insects and plants. There owere clumps of maiden hair fern. Tuesday, July 8 The boys in one of the other cabins reported this morn ing that a big owl came and perched on the window sill at the other end of their building. Later in the morning I heard robins, thrushes and tanagers giving the danger call and making a big fuss in a certain area. I was pretty sure the owl was probably there, but I was not able to see it. I was talking to a college boy who works in this camp. He was telling me about his great interest in hawks and owls. Since this is also a great interest of mine I had a hard Otime getting enough to eat at lunch, I got so busy talking. He finds a fascination in these noble creatures, just as I do, and we share the hope that our state and its citizens will give them more protection, o Wednesday, July 9 Our "Discovery Group" was preparing a worship service this morning. I never was in a group of children where the expressions of worship seemed to fit so naturally with their Interest and experience. We just asked them the things that they felt thankful for and out of what they said made a responsive prayer. Just as easily they found songs and a scripture and a poem that said what they felt. As. we sat talking about these things a gorgeous western tanager flew by so that all could see its colors, red and yellow and black. It gave them a thrill. People are always thrilled by the tanager which is so abundant in all the Oregon timber. Yet some have never even seen them. M. Small Douglas Fir Cone Crop Forecast Salem Reports received from foresters throughout the northwest indicate that there will be practically no Douglas fir cone crop this fall, espe cially in the middle and high elevation areas where- the most desirable seed is collect ed. Some low elevation cones have been reported in certain parts of the valley area but in no large quantities. This will be a serious blow to those planning aerially seeding during the coming planting season unless surplus seed has been stored from previous years' purchases. Re ports indicate that there can not be a large amount on hand since there have been several years of short seed crops. Jack Hann, forester In charge of the rehabilitation section of the state forestry department, said he does not expect the state to purchase any seed this fall and all planting, including both nur sery and aerial seeding, will be limited to the 1,100 pounds of seed that has been carried over from previous years. Reserved for Nursery He said that 600 pounds of this is to be reserved for nursery planting for the next two years, while some of the balance will be used in aerial ly seeding about 70 acres of state land in Coos county as well as some small tracts in Clatsop county that are to be seeded by hand. . This means that the plan to complete reforestation of the state land in the Sardine creek burn which consisted of aerially seeding about 1,500 acres will have to be post poned until more seed can be secured. On the other hand, reports indicate that therp is a verv heavv croD of Donderosa nine I cones in certain areas. One of these is reported along the Lakeview-LaPine highway on the eastern edge of the Fre mont national forest near the ! Horse ranch. Cones were not ed in the lower watershed of the Chewaucan river and also v ji g iiigiici 1 luges ( around Round Top.
