Richard Palmer In This Issue In this issue you will find several articles on the Klamath Falls area. I hope you enjoy them and will plan to visit one of the better birding spots in Oregon. You might even find a GREAT Many different subjects run through my mind as I try to organize GRAY OWL on the very first trip as I did a few years ago. (A my thoughts for this issue's message. Let's start with few people have vaguely mentioned it's not always this easy.) Congratulations to the past administration. The convention at Bend May 7-9 is now past history but for those of you who missed attending, it was one of the best ever. It will be at least several years before I forget the history of the ornithologist Bendire in the Malheur area, as told by the keynote speaker Dr. Steve Herman. The other programs rated high as well. It will take a lot of hard work to top this convention. Environmental Problems A request has been submitted to the State Department of Fish and Wildlife to spray 155 acres with Sevin to kill the mud shrimp. The shrimp have a detrimental effect on the oyster beds in Tillamook Bay, eventually smothering the oysters in the mud. What stand should we as a group take? Will the Sevin kill all of the food required by the thousands of returning shorebirds, soon to arrive from the north, which utilize Tillamook Bay? I wish I knew. Do we have any qualified biologists who would work with the board to develop a policy in relation to the birds of Tillamook Bay? Information will be required as to the exact spray area. We need the time and place of the public meetings and qualified members to attend these meetings, if we as a group are to contribute to this perplexing problem. Let me know if you wish to help. ( Birding Nuisance The finding of major rarities will certainly be less this year with the closure of the best area at the South Jetty of the Columbia OFO Members at Tumalo State Park.

Membership Drive Beginning this year a dedicated effort to increase membership will be headed up by Alice Parker of Roseburg. I intend to provide all the help I can and want to challenge each member to sign up at least one more member.

They were an innovation as so little had been done by any state in the Union. The Oregon parks system owes its beginning to the thought of highway beautification advocated by many leaders of the state, including the Governors, the early State Highway Commissioners and Highway Engi- neers.

  • Oregon Coast Adventures Summary
    Oregon Coast Adventures Summary by Pete & Christina King Updated April 22, 2021 This is not a river story but a guide to the Oregon Coast - one of our favorite places to visit. Yes, we pass by some whitewater rivers along our coastal travels but have never run any rivers in Oregon or California. Friends and family have asked why we keep returning again and again, this guide attempts to explain why. Unfortunately, this guide only gives you a taste of Oregon, there is much more to the coast than we have been able to capture here. Enjoy! Distance: It is approximately 3,700 miles round trip from Buena Vista, CO to the Oregon Coast and back. We typically go from Astoria (south on Hwy 101) to San Francisco and home through Lake Tahoe. It is a long way there and back but slow down and enjoy the time you spend on the coast. We usually drive quickly across Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Oregon and then slow down dramatically once we get to the Columbia River Gorge. Aire and Cascade Outfitters (Maravia) are fun stops in Boise which can break up the trip. Once you reach Hwy 101 in Oregon, unless you are a logging truck or large RV, my advice is to give way to these big rigs. They will not shift over and will win if they hit you. We also prefer to travel from the north to south to enjoy the "ocean" side vistas on the highway lane closest to the ocean. Lastly, we get to end the trip in San Francisco (the big city) after weeks of beaches mostly to ourselves.

  • AN ABSTRACT of the THESIS of RONALD JAMES JAMESON for The
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF RONALD JAMES JAMESON for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) December 20, 1974 in FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE presented on (Major Department) (Date) Title: AN EVALUATION OF ATTEMPTS TO REESTABLISH THE SEA OTTER IN OREGON Abstract approved: During the summers of 1970 and 1971 a total of 95 sea otter (Enhydra lutris) were shipped to Oregon from Amchitka Island, Alaska. The 1970 shipment consisted of 31 otter which were to be released on the southern Oregon Coast near the town of Port Orford. Two of these animals died in holding pens and 29 were successfully released to the wild on 18 July 1970. A second shipment of 64 sea otter was divided into two groups. On 24 June 1971, 24 otter were released at Port Orford and 40 more were released near Cape Arago. Total documented mortality of the translocated sea otter consisted of eight animals, seven of these were found within 1 week of the releases. During the study period reports of sea otter were distributed from Tillamook Head to Brookings, Oregon, a distance of approxi- mately 276 miles. A single report was received from Tolvana Beach, Oregon, 181 miles north of the nearest release site. Concentrations of otter were established at two locations during 1972, Simpson and Blanco reefs. The number of animals that could.be observed at either of these sites seemed to be related to the season, with most otter using Simpson Reef during the winter months, sub- sequently moving to Blanco Reef 35 miles to the south as the weather subsided.
