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,

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.
