Other features include an animated wagon wheel above the marquee and "daylight" lighting beneath. The colorful front was designed and built by Medford Neon sign company, 2708 North Pacific highway, Med ford. The Pioneer cafe recently underwent complete remodeling, according to Owner John Gallucci. Diary S2T of a IlljS Bird Watcher y I SPRING Anybody can have fun looking at birds In the spring and I certainly did this year. Of course the weather was unusual. It always is, departing from the normal in a different way each vear. We had unusually hot weather early, as mentioned in my last column March 27. Then we had a rather cool spring with quite a lot of cloudy weather, slowing up the migration of birds, but also holding some here that might otherwise have moved along. Every year we see some birds that are unusual to us, that we have never seen in the county before. It is these records that bring some of the excitement of bird watching. Th most unusual record of all was made by the Ted Con- ways at their place by the Rogue river below Shady Cove. They saw two little blue herons. The normal range of these birds is on the east coast. They are reported as "accidental in California." My books don't show them as ever having been seen in Oregon. But the plumage of these birds is so distinctive and the Conways such careful observers that I am sure they saw them. They were also responsible for J.H. and me seeing our first black-bellied plover in this valley. Mrs. Conway phoned J.H. just as we were starting on a Monday morning bird ing trip. So we dashed right out there, hoping that the plover might stay because of weariness after a migration flight. Sure enough, there it was, sitting on a sand-bar in front of J. H.'s cabin. It looked very splendid with its all black underparts as the sun shone on it. Another bird we hadn't seen in the valley before was also a handsome wading bird, a black-necked stilt. We saw It at Hoover lake. There are other birds that aren't supposed to be living in Oregon, according to the books, but we have seen them this year as well as previously. The black phoebe is again by the little bridge where Forest Creek empties into the Applegate. J. H. discovered blue-gray gnatcatchers on Roxy Ann just above the southern-most loop of the road. He took me there and showed them to me, and I saw them there twice after that, once with my wife, once with another observer who was quite familiar with the species. The season has also been notable for a couple of very good days of bird watching. J. H. and I set a new record for a four hour birding trip May 2 when we found 66 species in one morning. This was the day we saw the black-bellied plover. We also saw an osprey and a golden eagle that morning, besides eight different kinds of warblers and ! several other birds newly returned from the south. I The other big day was reported in the Mail Tribune ; of June 5. It was our annual Memorial Day bird count when IB of us covered as many areas in the county as we could reach and came up with 124 species. We got up early and had some very capable people working. One interesting thing is that in spite of that good list there were remarkably few water birds found. We always make a great point of looking over the ponds, but this time they were nearly all empty. Some birds are pretty well distributed, but they still give us a thrill always because they are so colorful. The orange and black Bullock's orioles are In many of the shade trees of the valley. A male has been coming to my red-hot poker flowers to sip the nectar, like a hum mingbird. The darker orange black-headed grosbeak sings its cheery song in the town and nearly every woodland, The other bright colored bird I never tire of seeing is the western tangcr. They like the timbered country. We must have had good views of 6 or 8 of the males on our most recent trip to the hills. On this same trip I was also Impressed with the number of hermit thrushes we heard singing. It is a plainly dressed bird, but the sweet, organ-like tones of its song is the most beautiful sound I know in the woods. We also heard the Swalnson's (olive backed) thrush, which is more familiar to me, and only slightly less beautiful. - T. M. Three Churches Announce Events Rogue River-The Rev.
