Payette National Forest Fire Management Organization The Payette National Forest Fire Staff consists of a Fire Management Staff Officer, a Deputy Fire Staff Officer, a Fuels Specialist, a Fire Planner, a Smokejumper Unit Manager, and a Dispatch Center Manager. The Payette National Forest is divided geographically into three fire zones (see Figure 1). The West Zone consists of the Weiser and Council Ranger Districts. The Central Zone includes the New Meadows Ranger District and the non-wilderness portion of the McCall Ranger District. The East Zone is formed by the Krassel Ranger District and the wilderness portion of the McCall Ranger District. A Fire Management Officer heads each suppression zone. An Assistant Fire Management Officer and a Fire Operations Specialist are assigned to each ranger district. Central Zone East Zone West Zone Figure 1. Payette National Forest Fire Management Zones Dispatch response areas, run cards, fire management roles and responsibilities, and dispatch procedures were reevaluated after the conclusion of the 2008 fire season. The necessary adjustments were formulated and adopted before the beginning of the 2009 fire season. Figure 2 shows the new Response Zones of the Payette National Forest and Figure 3 compares 2009 to 2008 zones. They were modified to incorporate sharing boundaries with Fire Management Units (FMU) in coherence with the Fire Management Plan, Fire Programming Analysis, and Wildland Fire Decision Support System. All of the response zones now fall within an FMU and do not cross boundaries. 1 Figure 2. The 2009 Response Zones Figure 3. A comparison of the 2008 to 2009 zones 2 2. Weather, Fuels, Indices, and Preparedness Level Summary Precipitation Precipitation for the 2008/2009 water year (Oct-Sept) measured 73% of normal for the McCall site. McCall had a total of 19.64” of precipitation. The 50 year average (1949-2008) is 26.74”. Some of the oddities of the season include: October at 26% of normal, January at 40% of normal, February at 31% of normal and June reaching amounts 205% of normal with another shot in August at 137% of normal. Although the snowpack was well below normal, the well above average precipitation in both June and August put the smack-down on the 2009 fire season. A wintry storm hit the area at the beginning of October and closed up the quiet fire season (NWS 2009). Figure 4 depicts the 2008/2009 water year precipitation amounts and the corresponding 50 year Average. 2008/2009 Water Year Precipitation Amounts 6 5 4 4.14 3.54 3.59 3 2007 / 2008 3.13 2.92 2.72 50 Year Avg 2.51 2.59 2.48 2 2.30 2.00 2.02 1.84 1.97 1.55 1 1.45 1.34 0.98 0.47 0.80 0.82 0.500.72 0.00 0 Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May June July Aug Sept Figure 4. Graph of 2008/2009 water year in comparison to the 50 Year Average Snowpack across the area ranged from 70-89% for most of the forest with a sliver on the east at 90-109% and the Snake River Corridor at 50-69% (USDA 2009). Figure 5 graphically depicts the snowpack for the area. The snowpack melted at a normal rate over the spring months using the NRCS Snotel sites for Brundage Reservoir (just north of McCall, ID) and Bear Saddle (just west of Cambridge, ID)(USDA 2010). Temperature Temperatures during 2009 were very close to normal. The 2009 average maximum temperature was 54° and the annual average maximum is 53° and the 2009 average minimum temperature was 27°, the same as the annual average minimum. Figure 6 shows the monthly temperature for 2009 compared to the average monthly temperatures. The averages are used from the Western Region Climate Center’s calculated average using data years from 1934 to 2005 (WRCC 2010). 3 Figure 5.

Temperatures for 2009 compared to the average 4 Fuels and Indices The 1000 hr fuels responded to the precipitation. Model C and H fuels began the season with lower than average moistures and increased with the precipitation received in August as seen in Figures 7 and 8 for Weiser River and Teapot RAWS. Model T fuels began slightly above average, followed the average line for the most part, and increased in moisture with the August precipitation, as seen in Figure 9 for the Snake River RAWS. Both of the Model G stations, Lodgepole and Skihill, reacted similarly. They began well above normal in moisture, dipped down to the average line, bumped up with the August precipitation and continued toward lower moistures through the fall. Figures 10 and 11 represent the Skihill and Lodgepole 1000-hr fuel moistures. The averages for all of these figures are calculated using the last 20 years, from 1989- 2008. Figure 7.

A 2009 Supplement to Birds of the Rocky Mountains Paul A. Johnsgard More than 20 years have elapsed since the publication of Birds of the Rocky Mountains, and many changes have occurred in that region’s ecology and bird life. There has also been a marked increase in recreational bird-watching, and an associated need for informative regional references on where and when to look for rare or especially appealing birds. As a result, an updating of the text seemed appropriate, especially as to the species accounts and the technical lit- erature. The following update includes all those species that have undergone changes in their vernacular or Latin names, have had important changes in ranges, or have shown statistically significant population trends or conserva- tion status warranting mention.
