  • Dear Teacher: During the What About Whales
    Dear Teacher: During the What About Whales assembly program one of our education staff members will introduce students to several whale and dolphin species found in Pacific waters. Using a PowerPoint presentation, life-sized inflatable whales, bones, teeth and baleen, students will learn characteristics of marine mammals and understand the differences between toothed and baleen whales. Before your assembly program: Ask students to list the characteristics of mammals and give examples. Compare the living conditions of a marine mammal with those of a terrestrial mammal. Where do they sleep? How do they get their food? What do they eat? What environmental conditions must they be adapted to? Compare and contrast humans and whales in the Where Do Whales Fit In? activity. Conduct the Measuring Whales activity. Using a tape measure, have your students measure out the length of each animal. After your assembly program: Conduct the Where Do Whales Fit In? activity again to see if students’ thing of additional classification characteristics. Conduct the The Wonder of Blubber activity to discuss one of many whale adaptations for life in the ocean. Lead a classroom discussion using the enclosed Dilemmas card activity. Review the difference between endangered and threatened species with your class. Several species of whales (sei, fin, sperm, blue, humpback and right) are currently listed as endangered in the state of Oregon. Ask students to consider what actions they can take to prevent further loss of these species. Participating in this program and using the pre and post curriculum will help your students meet Oregon science standards and Ocean Literacy Principles.

  • Evaluating the Fatty Acid Signature Technique for Studies of Diet Composition in Piscivorous Waterbirds
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Anne Mary Myers for the degree of Master of Science in Wildlife Science presented on March 5, 2007. Title: Evaluating the Fatty Acid Signature Technique for Studies of Diet Composition in Piscivorous Waterbirds. Abstract approved: ________________________________________________________________________ Daniel D. Roby This research was designed to evaluate the Fatty Acid Signature (FAS) technique as a non-lethal alternative to more traditional, and sometimes destructive, methods of studying the diet composition of piscivorous birds. Specifically we tested the technique with Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) which currently nest in large numbers in the Columbia River estuary and are known to consume juvenile salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.) listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. From captive feeding trials conducted with Caspian tern chicks, we determined that FASs of the birds reflected differences in their diets. After 20 days of being fed consistently mixed or monotypic diets of two fish types, chicks displayed different adipose tissue FASs between all 4 diet treatments. When diets were changed, adipose tissue FASs reflected the shift in diet treatments within two weeks. Fatty acid (FA)- specific calibration coefficients (FA level in the consumer divided by FA level in the food) were calculated for Caspian terns fed monotypic diets for 34 days; some calibration coefficients varied in association with diet and age of the terns, and also differed between terns and common murres (Uria aalge), whose calibration coefficients were measured in a separate study. Variation in FA-specific calibration coefficients may be problematic for obtaining accurate estimates of diet composition in piscivorous birds using the Quantitative Fatty Acid Signature (QFASA) technique.

  • Selection Process for Non-Releasable Birds: the First Step in Bird Welfare By: Kit Lacy –Education Director - Cascades Raptor Center IAATE Conference, February 2017
    Selection Process for Non-Releasable Birds: The First Step in Bird Welfare By: Kit Lacy –Education Director - Cascades Raptor Center IAATE conference, February 2017 Abstract: The selection of ambassador animals coming out of wildlife rehabilitation facilities is an evolving process as information grows regarding long-term physical impacts of disabilities on an animal’s quality of life. Ambassador animal welfare traditionally addressed nourishment, length of life, and physical safety while in human care. More facilities are now focusing on cognitive well-being, including examining if individuals are free from pain, fear, and distress as a measure of welfare. And, as more trainers are adopting choice-based training methods using the least number of aversive stimuli possible, candidate selection is the first step in the welfare process. Cascades Raptor Center has developed rigorous criteria for all birds before they are added to our team. Because many of our resident birds are wild-hatched individuals deemed non- releasable by rehabilitation facilities, it became necessary to devise a thorough assessment process. Data collected from wellness monitoring of our current bird collection coupled with over 20 years of comprehensive necropsy reports have provided information indicating that many disabilities that result in non-releasable status also preclude individuals from having a high quality of life in human care. Setting an ambassador animal up for a successful life in human care begins with appropriate, well considered selection. PAPER Many zoological facilities in the United States and other regions rely on non-releasable birds coming out of rehabilitation facilities to fulfill their collection needs for native species, especially raptor species.
