    MeadowlarkSUMMER/FALL 2017 Prairie Falcons of Coles County, Illinois 14 2017 IORC Report 7 Summer 2017 Fall 2017 Field Notes 21 Field Notes 46 Meadowlark PRESIDENT’S LETTER PUBLISHED BY Illinois Ornithological Society Anyone who has done a bit of bird watching on the western shore of Lake Michigan during fall migration knows that your success is very often weather EDITORIAL TEAM dependent. In fact, the best weather days (think sunny and calm) aren’t necessarily the best birding days at all. Warm sunny weather entices more people outside CHIEF EDITOR often with their kids and pets in tow. Better get up early or you’ll hear stories Eric Secker from fellow birders how dogs chased off a flock of graceful American Avocets from ASSISTANT EDITORS the beach or runners flushed an unexpected Upland Sandpiper moments before Tamima Itani, Adam Sell you arrived. There’s nothing more frustrating than missing a good bird by a few PRESIDENT & CHIEF SUPERVISOR minutes. Believe me. I’ve been there many times. Matt Igleski Experienced birders don’t mind getting up early or even braving the elements, LAYOUT AND PRODUCTION but it’s not just about trying to beat the crowd. Knowing how the weather may Eric Secker affect migration and bird activity improves your chances at finding certain species or of having a productive outing in general. FIELD NOTES EDITORS There’s probably one condition where you might as well pack it in for the Jill Anderson Matt Hayes day and that’s heavy rain. In a torrential downpour, you won’t be able to see or Dan Williams even keep your optics dry.

  • Outdoor Recreational Needs & the Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois
    Outdoor Recreational Needs & The Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois Department of Natural Resources December 3, 2018 Introduction In 2015, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) entered into agreement with the City of Springfield to manage city-owned property surrounding the City’s proposed secondary water supply (Hunter Lake). The City has already acquired 7,138 acres for the project located in southeastern Sangamon County. The lake is expected to cover 2,560 surface-acres with water. Outdoors recreation generates about $32 billion in economic activity each year for the State of Illinois, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. All this activity supports 90,000 jobs statewide. As the population of the United States continues its gradual migration from rural to urban areas (U.S. Census Bureau), demand for recreational land, open space and hunting and fishing opportunities will continue to grow. With 95 percent of Illinois land in private hands, the state ranks 46th in terms of land in public ownership. The IDNR owns and manages about 480,000 acres. The partnership between the City and IDNR is intended to provide additional public access for outdoor recreation, education and habitat conservation on Hunter Lake and its surrounding area. The City concluded the IDNR is the appropriate state agency to help the City achieve this objective. IDNR has statutory authority to manage the state’s fish and wildlife resources. To this end, the City chose to enter a Memorandum of Cooperation with IDNR (Appendix A) and tasked the Agency with managing the property’s outdoors potential for recreational opportunity, including hunting, fishing, bird-watching, biking, hiking and camping.

  • IDNR Sets Health and Safety Procedures for Deer Hunting at State Sites
    Illinois Department of Natural Resources JB Pritzker, Governor One Natural Resources Way ∙ Springfield, Illinois 62702-1271 Colleen Callahan, Director www.dnr.illinois.gov FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Rachel Torbert October 20, 2020 OFFICE: 217-785-3953 CELL: 217-685-1163 [email protected] IDNR Sets Health and Safety Procedures for Deer Hunting at State Sites SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) today announced changes to 2020- 2021 deer hunting procedures at state sites. The changes, health and safety protocols implemented in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, will provide greater protection to both the hunting public and site staff during the season. Hunters should follow all public health guidelines issued by the Illinois Department of Public Health, including wearing masks when social distancing cannot be achieved and refraining from congregating in parking lot areas. Through responsible actions, hunters can help ensure that site hunting programs continue to offer Illinoisans healthy outdoor recreation opportunities. The following changes in regulations will apply to IDNR sites participating in the deer hunting program: 1. No standby deer hunting will occur on state sites for the 2020-2021 hunting seasons. Deer hunting during the Firearm, Muzzleloading Rifle, CWD, and Late Winter Deer Seasons on state sites where special permits are issued through the regular statewide drawing will be limited to those persons already in possession of a site permit at the beginning of the season. In the past, standby drawings were held to fill unmet quotas or allow additional hunters to go afield once others had harvested deer. These drawings often resulted in crowded conditions at site offices.

  • WINTER 1996 Vol 12 (1) by John Schwegman, Illinois Native Plant Conservation Program Illinois Department of Conservation
    ILLINOENSIS, WINTER 1996 Vol 12 (1) By John Schwegman, Illinois Native Plant Conservation Program Illinois Department of Conservation Comments While it is popular nowadays to say that technologically we are in or entering the information age, USDA weed scientist Randy Westbrooks points out that ecologically we are entering the homogenization age. Species that evolved on 5 separate continents are being transported by modern man and homogenized into a common worldwide biota. Continents that have been "engines of species evolution" since the breakup of Pangaea 185 million years ago are having their unique assemblages of co-evolved species invaded and disrupted by this homogenization. If we set back and let it happen, the result of this process may be large scale extinction of species and the loss of many ecosystems as we gain new (and fewer) homogenized ecosystems. Expect to hear more of the age of homogenization, whether you want to or not. The U. S. Department of Interior hosted an Eastern and Tropical States "Weed Summit" in Ft. Lauderdale, FL Nov 30 and Dec 1. The goal of the summit was to gather input and ideas from a broad spectrum of interest groups on actions and implementation strategies to combat invasive alien weeds. Representatives from this "summit" and an earlier western states "weed summit" will convene in Albuquerque February 11 to 14 to produce a recommended national strategy. This is indeed a promising development. The retirement of John Ebinger as Professor of Botany at Eastern Illinois University may well be the end of an era in Illinois. Students desiring in-depth training in native plant identification have found it increasingly difficult to find in recent years, and Ebinger's departure eliminates what has been their best opportunity in my opinion.
