FANCY FRONT One of the most elaborate
marquee signs in southern Oregon is the
one recently completed at the Pioneer cafe
in Central Point. Backlighted murals, four
in all, festoon the corners of the marquee,
while a "traveling bulb" border sets off
the name of the establishment in the front.
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.
