SUNDAY, MAY 13. 19Ba PAGES 1 to 8 I Penney's BIRDING By JOSEPH HICKS WW) April was a fine month for birding. Twenty-five species of spring migrants were seen and reported during this period. Field trips were doubly rewarding as birds were plentiful and wild flowers were profusely in bloom over the valley floor. ! ... During the first week in April at the game commission pond, I saw western and least sandpipers, greater yellow legs, and dowitchers. Also at this pond on April 5, W. Cava nough saw a rare visitor, the sandbill crane. ... Mrs. Leroy Thompkins reported seeing the first black headed grosbeak in the valley April 10. A solitary vireo was seen on this date by Ralph Browning. Also during this second week of April, the first appearance of orange crown warblers, barn swallows, and ring-billed gulls was noted. ... I Another rare visitor, the dunlin, was seen at the game i commission pond April 15. j ... During the third week of April, prairie falcons, Wil-. son's warblers and large flocks of pine siskins were in evi dence. Mrs. Howard Bush and W. Burgoyne both reported sighting a black-throated grey warbler April 21. And a sur prising coincidence, the first report of the arrival of Bullock's orioles April 2d, also was made by Mrs. Bush and W. Bur goyne. ... Migrants really poured into the valley during the last week in April. Chipping sparrows and western kingbirds arrived ApriJ 21. On April 24, a pair of horned larks were seen in the "Hoover lake area. On April 26, I saw a Nash ville warbler and a Vaux's swift while birding on Roxy Ann. A western wood pewee and an immature California gull were seen on April 28. Large numbers of Wilson's warblers were present in the willows of the Rogue on the final week : end in April. Also seen was a Trail flycatcher, western tanager and a yellowthroat warbler. ... The Oregon juncos left the valley for the mountains i during the first week in April. Since then, there have been i flocks of white-crowned sparrows migrating through the valley, although there are still a few stragglers remaining. , ... In the middle of April, my daughter, Betty Jo, and I took a birding trip to Klamath Falls. North of Rocky Point in the Malone Springs area, we saw two bald eagles and a pair of white headed woodpeckers. South of Klamath Falls near Tulelake, there were avocets, western and eared grebe, double-crested cormorant and lesser yellowlegs. Also ; seen were large flocks of migrating geese, as well as 11 I species of ducks. The western grebes were beginning to pair j off; during May you can expect to see their spectacular' courtship dance. ... j Some of our winter resident birds suffered tremendous , losses during the severe winter storms. I am particularly concerned about our normally plentiful western bluebird. Last year, R. Browning constructed 12 bluebird nests and observed that nine of these nests were used in hatching young. This year there were no occupants of these nests, and in cleaning out the nests he found five bluebirds that had died during the extreme cold. The only western bluebirds I have seen this spring were five on the Dead Indian rd. I would appreciate reports from anyone who has nesting bluebirds. ... I O. Bendure regretfully reports the mockingbird has gone elsewhere. Although it chose 5 a.m. to commence its morning song, Bendure says the song was so beautiful that even the neighbors were interested. Perhaps the mocking bird flew to Grants Pass, where rumor has it that a few mockingbirds are present each summer. j ... During May we can expect large quantities of migrants particularly warblers invading our valley and mountains. In the valley, look for birds smaller than sparrows, mostly yellow and olive, along sides of the streams and rivers. Roxy Ann and the road from Ashland to Mount Ashland are excel lent places to find the warblers who prefer the mountains. If you hear a cheery song, usually with many repetitious notes, then start looking for the warblers in the willows or trees. ... There are still no reports of bald eagle nests In this county. If you see any bald eagles or nests, please call me as I am still hopeful we have at least one pair of these eagles that nest here. MOVING! There's SOMETHING SPECIAL About Our Service!
