In 1863 gold was discovered on Jordan Creek, starting the boom and bust cycle of Silver City. During the peaks of activity in the local mines, the population grew to a few thousand residents with a full range of business services. Most of the mines played out by 1914. Today there are numerous summer homes and one hotel, but no year-long residents. Nine miles “down the road” from Silver City was DeLamar, another mining boom town.

  • Mccall Winter Sports Club Newsletter | August '19
    8/30/2019 email (4).html McCall Winter Sports Club Newsletter | August '19 I hope this email finds you well, happy, healthy and enjoying summer. Still five months until ski season. For some it's not soon enough. For these nine athletes it was a teaser to be on snow at Mt. Hood this past week. Five days skiing on a glacier, lunches on the mountain, swimming, hiking, team-building and camping-in with friends. Sounds like a lot of fun, but all that aside it's a privilege for each of these skiers as they've worked hard to be there. Whatever the end- goal is for gate training, video review and early mornings to start it off; this experience for the athletes won't be forgoen or dismissed. That's a win in the eyes of Coach Dave Rosen who's goal was to share the same experience he fondly remembers as a young skier himself with his athletes. Keep reading for other happenings and announcements from McCall Winter Sports Club; including the naming of our Alpine Ski Race Program Director and Head Coach, Ski Bum Scramble, Pints for a Cause, athlete scholarships, IMD race schedule and other winter teasers! Special thanks to Coach Dave for his commitment to solid days of training on and off the mountain. Thank you to Lissa Beebe for cooking meals and being Team Mom to the athletes away from their families. Thanks to Tim Andra file:///C:/Users/Executive Director/Downloads/email (4).html 1/6 8/30/2019 email (4).html and Willy Beebe for helping with on-hill training logistics and rounding up the crew.

  • Seasonal Status of the American Pipit in Idaho
    SEASONAL STATUS OF THE AMERICAN PIPIT IN IDAHO DANIEL M. TAYLOR, 244 N. 12th, Pocatello,Idaho 83201 In Idaho, the AmericanPipit (Antbus rubescens)has been considered primarilya migrant,either locally common but erratic (Larrison et al. 1967) or uncommonin springand commonin fall (Burleigh1972). Severalother writers(Merriam 1891, Merrill 1898, Newhouse1960, Levy 1962) consid- ered it an abundantfall migrantbut gaveno indicationof actualnumbers. The one (Larrisonet al. 1967) or two (Burleigh1972) winterrecords were from Lewiston.Larrison et al. (1967) suspectedthat pipitsmight breed on someof the state'shigh mountains,while Burleigh(1972) knew of only Merriam's(1891) statementthat they breedin the Salmon River Mountains and a report by L. B. McQueenof breedingin the upper Pahsimeroi drainagenear Borah Peak. This scantinessof breedingevidence may be why the mostrecent A.O.U. checklist(1983) statesthat the AmericanPipit breedslocally on mountaintopsin severalRocky Mountain states but does not specificallylist Idaho. In this paper I consolidateand enhancewhat is known aboutAmerican Pipit distributionin Idaho with reference to adjacent areas. I present evidenceof additionalbreeding, concentrations of thousandsof fall mi- grants,and the species'regular but erraticwintering in much of southern Idaho.I analyzeChristmas Bird Countdata for patternsin winterdistribu- tion relatedto differencesin weather,elevation, geography, and annual variability. METHODS I gatheredrecent American Pipit recordsfrom a literaturereview and my own fieldnotes for the last 15 years.All ChristmasBird Counts(CBCs) for Idahosince 1978 were included,as well as somefrom adjacentMontana and Washington.Long-term counts from southernIdaho were examined statisticallyin a mannersimilar to that of Lauranceand Yensen(1985) and Dunning and Brown (1982).
