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.
