Readers follow along at the nest as each stage in an owl’s life is chronicled: courtship, mating, and nesting in spring; fledging and feeding of young in summer; dispersal and learning independence in fall; Also by Paul Bannick and, finally, winter’s migration. Unusual irruptions and the everyday struggle to survive are (see page 58) also covered. In addition to the four featured owls, all 19 species of North American owls are generously depicted throughout the book; Bannick’s startling images reflect their shared behaviors as well as some surprising exceptions and adaptations. More than just a backdrop, the four featured owl habitats—forest, grassland and steppe, boreal, and Arctic—reveal wildly rich stories of their own. Owl is a stunning follow-up to Bannick’s bestselling title, The Owl and the Woodpecker, giving bird lovers yet another gorgeous photographic tribute, engaging natural history, and a compelling call to preserve the habitats that sustain these most iconic of birds. Paul Bannick is an award-winning and widely published wildlife photographer specializing in the natural history of North America with a focus on birds and habitat. He has received the Canon Prize of the International Conservation Photography Awards, as well as first place in the “Birds and Their Habitat” category in Audubon magazine's annual contest.

Paul Bannick 4 MOUNTAINEERS BOOKS phone: 800.553.4453 F16_Catalog_Frontlist.indd 4 3/16/16 2:28 PM Excerpted from OWL by Paul Bannick Late one April day, I was driving down a gravel road in southeastern Idaho looking for Burrowing Owls. Most of the landscape was heavily plowed fields, so it would be easy to assume that very little wildlife could exist there. But a small, gargoyle-like Burrowing Owl on the fencepost belied that assumption. The bug-eyed, long-legged vertical owl rotated his body ninety degrees so that he was parallel with the ground, fluffed out his feathers to appear much larger, and displayed distinctive white feathers at his brows and beneath his bill. In this unusual posture, he filled his throat with air and forcibly repeated hoo-hooo, clearly an attempt to lure a female lurking somewhere in the sage across the road. The scrap of land behind the owl’s perch was not pristine. Beyond the barbed wire fence, every thirty yards or so, blue-green sagebrush bushes rose three to five feet out of the hard-packed brown dirt whiskered with short, stubby weeds. Firm mounds of tan dirt marked abandoned badger burrows, which were the nest and roost sites for Burrowing Owls. Down the road, only trails of the sun’s red glow remained on the horizon. To my right, six Short- eared Owls danced in the air above a rough brown patch of tall dead grass encircled by the green, sprinkler-watered rectangles. These owls had found homes on a scrap of ungrazed land beside heavy agriculture because of the tall vegetation. Within twenty-five miles, in the same habitat, a few pairs of Barn Owls nested in the spaces between straw bales surrounded by hundreds of cows and near other Burrowing Owls on adjacent protected land. Less than fifty miles to the north, two trees, one cottonwood and one Russian olive, separated by 150 yards of flat meadow, provided nesting habitat for owls that hunt in the grasslands, sage- steppe, and farmlands, but are often thought of as Young owls, { opposite } like these Northern Hawk owls are growing fastest at about 2 weeks of age.

PARRISH, Ph.D., STATE GEOLOGIST DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION – DAVID BUNN, DIRECTOR PLATE 1 The rugged cliffs of Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park are composed of some of California’s Bio-regions the most tortured, twisted, and mobile rocks of the North American continent. The California’s Geomorphic Provinces rocks are mostly buried beneath soils and covered by vigorous redwood forests, which thrive in a climate famous for summer fog and powerful winter storms. The rocks only reveal themselves in steep stream banks, along road and trail cut banks, along the precipitous coastal cliffs and offshore in the form of towering rock monuments or sea stacks. (Photograph by CalTrans staff.) Few of California’s State parks display impressive monoliths adorned like a Patrick’s Point State Park displays a snapshot of geologic processes that have castle with towering spires and few permit rock climbing. Castle Crags State shaped the face of western North America, and that continue today. The rocks Park is an exception.

  • Natural Disasters, Past and Impending, in the Eastern San Gabriel
    April 18, 2009 Field Trip #4: Natural Hazards, Past and Impending, in the Eastern San Gabriel Mountains Jonathan A. Nourse Department of Geological Sciences California State Polytechnic University 3801 West Temple Avenue Pomona, CA 91768 Introduction The eastern San Gabriel Mountains present a spectacular outdoor laboratory for studying the causes and consequences of natural hazards that include earthquakes, floods, landslides, and fires. Since 1991 I have utilized the San Antonio Canyon region as a convenient place to educate Cal Poly Pomona students enrolled in my Natural Disasters, Engineering Geology, Structural Geology, Tectonics, Groundwater Geology and Optical Mineralogy courses. The area has also provided world-class field trip sites for the Geological Society of America, the Thomas W. Dibblee Foundation and NAGT. This guidebook includes excerpts from several previous field trip guides for which I have been principle or contributing author (Nourse, et al., 1998; Trent and Nourse, 2001; Trent et al., 2001, Nourse, 2003). The oblique aerial view of Figure 1 highlights the San Gabriel Mountains block, uplifted along the Sierra Madre-Cucamonga frontal thrust system and dissected by left-lateral and right-lateral strike slip faults. Our plan for today is to begin the trip at San Antonio Dam near the intersection of the Cucamonga, San Jose and San Antonio Canyon faults. Working our way up the Mt. Baldy Road, we shall view field evidence of floods, landslides and debris flows that have resulted from interplay between steep topography, severe weather conditions, and major earthquakes. Effects of the devastating fire of 2003 are also prominent. We will discuss impacts of the floods of 1938, 1969, and 2005 on human structures such as dams, roads and buildings.

  • Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones
    Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones APPENDIX D: Building Descriptions The purpose of the Building Descriptions is to assist the user in selecting an appropriate type of building when using the Air Conditioning estimating tools. The selected building type should be the one that most closely matches the actual project. These summaries provide the user with the inputs for the typical buildings. Minor variations from these inputs will occur based on differences in building vintage and climate zone. The Building Descriptions are referenced from the 2004-2005 Database for Energy Efficiency Resources (DEER) Update Study. It should be noted that the user is required to provide certain inputs for the user’s specific building (e.g. actual conditioned area, city, operating hours, economy cycle, new AC system and new AC system efficiency). The remaining inputs are approximations of the building and are deemed acceptable to the user. If none of the typical building models are determined to be a fair approximation then the user has the option to use the Custom Building approach. The Custom Building option instructs the user how to initiate the Engage Software. The Engage Software is a stand-alone, DOE2 based modeling program.
