Glance Watson Oregon Birds 17(2): 30, Summer 1991 1990 Oregon Listing Results Steve Summers, P.O. Box 202, Silver Lake, OR 97638 This year (1990) marks the eleventh year these listing results have been 352 Ken Knrrtle published. The first listing results published were for 1980. Eighty Oregon birders 352 Walter Yungen turned in results this year, marking the first time such a high number has been 351 Elsie Eltzroth reached. So, it appears to me that interest in county listingis still strong in Oregon. 350 Richard Palmer As a result of this in te rest a lot of distributional information has been gathered 343 Kamal Islam 343 David Swanson on all of Oregon's counties. I believe that the fun and excitement of county birding 345 Marion Corder has enhanced the amount of this information, more so than if we hadn't undertaken 341 Ron Maertz this game 11 years ago. 339 Michael Robbins I am currently undertaking a project to come up with a county list for all Oregon 336 Dave Copeland counties. I am relying heavily on information from Oregon's top county listers to get 335 Marshall Beretta this project started. Many of you have already been contacted. Hopefully every OFO 334 Elmer Miller member eventually will have a chance to contribute to this effort. My goal is to 331 Don Pederson publish a set of maps showing the distribution of each Oregon species by county. But 331 Roger Robb for now.I'm taking it one step at a time. So your strong support at this early stage 330 Eva Schultz will further help to realize the final goal. 329 Ben Fawer 326 Otis Swisher This year there was one new 200 county (Jefferson). That leaves only 8 counties 324 Bill Tice with no 200 birders. Lane County now has four 300 birders. There were 8 new 322 Greg Gillson county year list record highs — one of which was submitted from an earlier year in 322 Hendrik Herlyn answer to my challenge of last year that I'd take anything for the last 2 counties 321 Fred Zeillemaker without a year list. As a result, all counties now have a recorded year list. This year 319 Wilson Cady the threshold will still be 150 for all counties except the 3 counties that still have 316 Paul Osburn not reached that threshold. For them the threshold will be their recorded highs: 310 Mike Denny Crook (111), Gilliam (146), and Wheeler (123). 310 Calvin Hill I had a request to tabulate the top 200+ county birders. In other words, birders 306 Aaron Tegerdine 302 Karen Theodore with the most 200+ counties "under their binoculars." So for fun I did that and here's the top 10 (the number in parentheses is the number of 200+ counties each person 1990 Oregon Year Ust (250) has): , David Fix (9), Joe Evanich (8), Paul Sullivan (8), Steve Heinl (7), Phillip 315 Jim Johnson Pickering (7), Dennis Rogers (7), Steve Summers (6), Jim Carlson (5), CraigCorder 313 Gerard Lillie (5), and Tom Crabtree (5). 310 Philip Pickering One new feature Fve added to the regular column is a list of the top 10 Oregon 309 Walter Yungen year lists. I'll update this every year as needed. 303 Paul Sullivan Totals marked with an asterisk (*) are previously submitted totals as an 302 Jerry Kearney updated total was not received this year. The only exception is for county year lists 301 Donna Lusthoff 300 Dave Copeland where an asterisk means a new county year list record high. Only totals of 375 or 300 Hendrik Herlyn more for the state are carried through without an updated list. County totals are 296 David Fix carried through from year to year only if they are still leading in a county. 293 Tom Crabtree 290 Jim Carlson 238 Paul Sherrell 285 Tim Shelmerdine Oregon State List (300) 280 Tom Mickel *431 Jeff Gilligan 375 Martha Sawyer 279 Mike Patterson 419 Tom Crabtree 372 Steve Gordon 278 Jack Corbett 410 Owen Schmidt 372 Alan McGie 277 Alan McGie 409 Richard Smith 372 Gerard Lillie 277 Don Pederson *400 Dave Irons 372 Allison Mickel 276 Richard Cronberg 397 Jim Johnson 371 Karen Kearney 275 Bill Tice 392 Larry Thornburg 369 David Fix 274 Roger Robb 392 Linda Weiland 369 Dennis Rogers 274 Skip Russell 391 Joe Evanich 369 Paul Sullivan 272 Tom Love 391 Donna Lusthoff 368 Jerry Kearney 266 Scott Johnson 389 Phillip Pickering 364 Barb Bellin 263 Marcella Johnson 387 Jan Krabbe 362 Tom Love 263 Allison Mickel 387 Rick Krabbe 360 Clarice Watson 261 Steve Gordon 386 Steve Heinl 358 Craig Miller 252 Ron Maertz 385 Jim Carlson 356 Mike Patterson 250 Wilson Cady 384 Patrick Muller 356 Paul Sherrell 382 Sheran Jones 355 David Anderson Top 10 Oregon Year Lists *379 Alan Contreras 354 Jack Corbett 356 Philip Pickering (1986) 378 Steve Summers 354 Craig Corder 345 Donna Lusthoff (1987) 376 Judy Carlson 353 Tim Shelmerdine 344 Jeff Gilligan (1981) 376 Tom Mickel 352 Elzy Eltzroth 339 Linda Weiland (1985) Oregon Birds 17(2): 31, Summer 1991 334 Richard Smith (1981) 234 Joe Evanich 168 Steve Summers 173 Rick Krabbe 333 Jim Johnson (1989) 221 Tom Crabtree 166 Richard Palmer 172 Greg Gillson 330 Donna Lusthoff (1985) 218 David Fix 165 Tom Crabtree 170 Jim Carlson 330 Tom Mickel (1985) 212 Jim Johnson 162 Dave Copeland 165 Steve Gordon 328 Barb Bellin (1983) 204 Donna Lusthoff 160 Barb Bellin 164 Calvin Hill 326 Sheran Jones (1985) 194 David Anderson 158 Jack Corbett 163 Donna Lusthoff 190 Linda Weiland 155 Mike Patterson 160 Steve Heinl 187 Karen Kearney 149 Elzy Eltzroth 155 Barb Bellin 1990 County Lists 183 Jerry Kearney 148 Elsie Eltzroth 154 EvaSchultz 180 Greg Gillson 135 Marcella Johnson 150 Walter Yungen Baker 179 Tom Love 135 Scott Johnson 146 Richard Palmer *231 Ann Ward 179 Tim Shelmerdine 133 David

  • The Economic, Environmental, and Social Benefits of Geothermal Use in Oregon Andrew Chiasson Geo-Heat Center Oregon Institute Of
    The Economic, Environmental, and Social Benefits of Geothermal Use in Oregon Andrew Chiasson Geo‐Heat Center Oregon Institute of Technology October 2011 Oregon has a long and rich history of utilization of its geothermal resources. Today, the documented direct uses of geothermal waters are related to space and district heating, snow‐ melting, spas and resorts, aquaculture, greenhouses, and agribusiness. The Geo‐Heat Center estimates that there are over 600 direct use applications in Oregon, not including undeveloped hot springs. Boyd (2007) and Sifford (2010) provide excellent summaries of geothermal energy uses in Oregon, some of which are no longer operational, and others that have expanded their use. The first permanent geothermal power plant in Oregon was installed Figure 1. Physiographic regions of Oregon at the Oregon Institute of Technology Campus in (reproduced from graphic by Elizabeth L. Orr, 2010, and a handful of other geothermal power Geology of Oregon). projects are currently under development at the time of this report. A Brief Note on the Occurrence of Geothermal Resources in Oregon With so many uses of geothermal energy in Oregon, it is helpful to describe their occurrence in relation to geologic province and geographic county. Figure 1 shows the nine major physiographic regions of Oregon, indicating the State’s diverse geologic nature. Essentially, the eastern two‐thirds of Oregon (beginning in the Cascades) has known or potential geothermal Figure 2. Map of Oregon Counties. resources. Figure 2 is a map of Oregon counties.
