was working in my front yard and heard a sound I couldn't place. It was a high pitched Isqueak, sounding something like "cherk!" I thought that perhaps a squirrel or chipmunk was making the sound, until I realized it was coming from somewhere over my head. I looked up as the "cherk!" sounded again. My eyes focused on a small shape, hovering five feet over my head. It was a male Anna's Hummingbird. As I looked at the bird, I realized I had never before seen the display flight of this species. Rufous Hummingbirds display over my yard every year, I have seen Allen's Hummingbirds display on the south coast, and I can still remember a seemingly out of place Calliope display on the trail up Mount Bolivar, in SE Coos County. Yet I never had seen the display flight of the only year-round resident species in Oregon.

Over the twenty years I have spent birding, I continually find myself amazed by the incredible wealth of experiences available to the casual and experienced birder alike. Equally amazing is the serendipitous quality of these experiences. The displaying hummingbird mentioned above may well be one of the males that sing in my yard every month of the year. On that December day, I was able to watch him stake a claim to that small area of my yard that includes a hummingbird feeder hanging from the eaves of the house, treating me to another new birding experience.

My name is Tim Shelmerdine and I am the current president of O.F.O. This is the second time I have been elected to serve our organization and I look forward to working with the board and the membership. O.F.O. is an organization that depends on volunteers to accomplish its aims. One of our most important volunteers, Steve Dowlan, the editor of Oregon Birds, will be stepping down toward the end of the year. Steve's hard work and dedication in producing Oregon Birds will be missed, although we all are happy Steve will be able to devote time to other pursuits, such as actually going out and birding. The O.F.O. Board is currently in the process of seeking a dedicated, qualified individual to continue publishing our magazine and we consider that to be our major job this year. Other tasks for O.F.O. include continuing to seek to provide quality experiences for Oregon birders, namely through planning annual meetings or offering other types of trips, or partnering in offering workshops. We are also involved in the Oregon Birding Trail projects and are simultaneously seeking ways to increase our conservation presence.

As the year progresses, please look to this column to find out what O.F.O. is doing for you.

Oregon Birds 30(4):161, Winter 2004 DETROIT AREA BIRD LIST

This checklist includes all bird species which have been observed or detected at Detroit Flats, in the town of Detroit or on Detroit and Big Cliff Reservoirs. The information has been compiled by Steve Dowlan from records from Willamette National Forest, Salem Audubon Society and Oregon Birders On-Line.

Codes for likelihood of observation and seasonal occurrence are described below: Observation Codes 1 = Easy to find throughout the season 2 = Usually easy to find, but may be for a brief period or in small numbers 3 = Usually hard to find due to small numbers or secretive habits 4 = Not easy to find, not seen every year 5 = Seen fewer than 5 times for all seasons

A = Species captured or banded Seasons ot Occurrence Spring = March - May Summer = June - August Fall = September - November Winter = December - February , — location Code DF = Detroit Flats DL = Detroit Lake BC = Big Cliff Reservoir DT - Around the town of Detroit

A decision that the well water did not meet current potability standards resulted in the Forest Service Station not being manned in 2003 and 2004. The water to the buildings and campground was not turned on after this. With no water available to the upper blind, birders had to bring water in jugs.

The water to the lower blind has been somewhat erratic due to problems with the float valve.

A new float valve was put in for the lower blind earlier in the fall of 2004. These improvements should mean that the water to the guzzlers will be more consistent. The plan is to turn off the water from about the end of October to the end of March to avoid concentration of the wintering deer herds, which would drain the tanks so water would not be available to the birds in early spring.

The efforts of the early developers of the blinds and water features are much appreciated by today's birders. The sites have been free of the vandalism that plagues many places.

Oregon Birds 30(4): 179, Winter 2004 South Coast Field Notes: Summer 2004 Edited by Tim Rodenkirk

Don Munson found a Yellow-throated Vireo at his place in early July, a first state record if accepted by OBRC. Rose- breasted Grosbeaks made a good showing, with up to four at Lois Miller's place in Port Orford throughout the period. Another male spent the summer at the Martin residence near Myrtle Point, Coos and may have bred with a female Rose- breasted Grosbeak. During the last week of July the bird was observed, and photographed, feeding either a young hybrid offspring or a female Black-headed Grosbeak. It was an incredible year for breeding duck species on the North Spit of Coos Bay at the old Weyerhaeuser pond site with several breeding species either new to Coos County or only recorded breeding there a few times before. In addition, Wilson's Phalaropes bred for the 2nd straight year at this site. This is a species until recently considered rare in the county with only a handful of records up through the 1990's. Brown Pelicans had their best breeding year on record (RLo) and were abundant along the south coast with record numbers present by mid to late July.
