The board has awarded Owen a life membership in OFO as a special token of appreciation—he had akeady won OFO's distinguished service award. The current issue consists mainly of material gathered by Owen. It was produced by an editorial team of Alan Contreras, Ray Korpi, Mike Patterson and Reid Freeman.

The Migration of Rufous Hummingbirds: A Teenager's Experience Elizabeth Thomas, 16500 Scotts Mills Rd. NE, Silverton, OR 97381 [email protected] I suppose you could call me an average, normal teenage girl. I spend a lot of my spare time doing what all teenage girls do - which is, of course, tracking the migration of Rufous Hummingbirds in Oregon. Then again, perhaps my hobby is not quite as common as I have made it sound. How did I end up writing an article for Oregon Birds7. It all started out in 1997 in my eighth grade life science class. My teacher, Mr. Keith Eckley, assigned an open- ended science project. Each year he assigns 2 open-ended projects of this kind. These projects are great because they allow his students to choose topics they are interested in researching. Each student has a question they must try to answer through hypothesis and experimentation. Around the time Mr. Eckley assigned this project, the Internet list OBOL (Oregon Birders On-Line) started sending out messages that soon the Rufous Hummingbirds would be showing up. Rufous Hummingbirds migrate annually from Mexico to reside in parts of the northwest United States, western Canada, and Alaska. My family thought that since the Rufous Hummingbirds would be showing up Rufous Hummingbird arrivals, 1997 I could do an experiment involving hummingbirds. My question was: "Are hummingbirds attracted to the color red when looking for Date Location Gender food?" I was very excited. The whole experiment was planned and pre• 2/17/97 Waldport Male pared. I bought 4 identical hummingbird feeders and painted 2 red. 2/20/97 Astoria Male 2/22/97 South Beach Male I filled one red and one clear feeder with sugar water. I filled the 2/23/97 Cannon Beach Male other 2 feeders with tap water for the "control" of my experiment. 2/24/97 Portland (west) Male Each day I changed the water to have it fresh. I faithfully measured, 2/25/97 Grants Pass Male anticipating the time when the loss of liquid would mean something 2/28/97 Falls City Male 3/3/97 Corvallis Male other than a few milliliters that evaporated. 3/7/97 Salem (southwest) Male THEY DID NOT COME! The Rufous Hummingbirds did not 3/8/97 near Jacksonville Male show up! Mr. Eckley kept giving me doubtful looks when I spoke of 3/13/97 Coburg Male their imminent arrival. He made statements like, "I haven't seen any 3/13/97 Creswell Male 3/14/97 McMinnville Male hummingbirds at MY place yet." As far as he was concerned, early 3/16/97 Eugene Male February was far too early for my experiment. My own doubts mul• 3/16/97 Roseburg Male tiplied. "Well, at least you tried," said Mr. Eckley. 3/16/97 Silverton Male I was panicked. Here I was, with the perfect experiment, only 3/17/97 Philomath Male 3/17/97 Toketee Male the experimentees had not shown up. This was an eighth grade 3/19/97 Canby Male nightmare. This was my major science project and I was establish• 3/19/97 Portland (north) Male ing . well, nothing. My data only proved no hummingbird had 3/21/97 Banks Male been drinking at any of my feeders, much less shown a preference. 3/27/97 Mosier Male I needed a project to turn in for my class. I needed those hum• 3/9/97 Portland (southwest) Female mingbirds. I needed something to do with my time instead of won• 3/17/97 Port Columbia Female dering if they were ever going to come. That was when I decided to 3/19/97 Toketee Female track the migration of Rufous Hummingbirds in Oregon. I would 3/21/97 Finn Rock Female 3/20/97 Corvallis Female be getting something done by plotting the first Rufous Humming• 3/20/97 Silverton Female bird sightings on an Oregon map. This new development in my Oregon Birds 25(1): 1, Spring 1999 project would serve 3 purposes. One, I would have something to turn in to Mr. Eckley come the assignment's due date. Two, theoretically I would feel reassured by recording hummingbirds arriving in various places in Oregon. Three, I might actually learn something. All I had to do was figure out how to get the data of first Rufous Hummingbird sightings. I did not need to look any farther than the list my family was subscribed to, OBOL. I sent a message out to the members asking them to report their first Rufous Hummingbird sightings to me. The response was amazing. Many people reported Rufous Hummingbirds to me. I thought I was discouraged before, but now I was really discouraged. It seemed every single person in Oregon except me had a Rufous Hummingbird happily drinking at his or her feeder. I started having fantasy conversations in my head. "Hummingbirds are psychic," explained an imaginary hummingbird expert, "they will not drink from any feeder put out as an experiment." I was so happy when on 16 March 1997 a male Rufous Hum• Rufous Hummingbird arrivals, 1998 mingbird buzzed my mother who had gone outside to check the feed• ers. They had come after all.

With the assistance of OBOL 2/17/98 Waldport Male 3/1/98 Applegate River Male I have been tecording the first sightings of Rufous Hummingbirds in 3/2/98 Manzanita Male Oregon for 1998. I plan to continue my project in the years to come 3/3/98 Blachly Male and do a longitudinal study. As for my project, I did come up with 3/4/98 Astoria Male results. My project got an A+.

Add your remediation estimates by building, if your agency has conducted this analysis. For agencies participating in the Facility Conditions Assessment Program, this assessment will be provided. 2b Priority #5 has changed from New Code Requirements/Standards to Modernization. This category combines the former #4 Recommended Improvements, and the former #5, New Code priority categories. It expands the definition to include replacement of facilities. See definition in the budget instructions and those included in the relevant forms. 3 Begin the workbook with the last 3 CPAB tabs. This data feeds much of the reaming workbook. These will be reviewed by CPAB only. If your agency has migrated to iPlan, the blue columns will come directly from the iPlan CPAB reports. IF your agency has not migrated to iPlan, please self-report your information. 3a CPAB Current Priority 1-4 is for current needs as of April 2020 to align with the PICS reporting budget instructions. 3b CPAB 10 Year Priority 1-4 gives your agency the opportunity to give the 10 year projected needs for your building portfolio. 3c CPAB Priority 5 are not generally part of an FCA, rather they are needs that are driven by program and function.

  • 2017 Spring Turkey Hunting Forecast Turkeys Hunting Opportunities Continue Expansion; NE Winter Impacts Numbers and Access
    2017 Spring Turkey Hunting Forecast Turkeys hunting opportunities continue expansion; NE winter impacts numbers and access Turkey hunting opportunities have drastically expanded in the last 20 years. Hunters can now find good turkey hunting in northwest and northeast, not just in southwest Oregon. Last year’s spring harvest of 5,245 turkeys was up 12 percent from the previous year and the highest since 2010. Expect similar conditions in most of the state this year—except in northeast, where a tough winter likely reduced turkey numbers and will limit access at higher elevations early in the season. “Production was good last year, but deep snow in some areas, particularly northeast Oregon, will have reduced over-winter survival,” said David Budeau, ODFW upland bird coordinator. “However, the above average precipitation should result in good habitat conditions throughout the state.” Where are the turkeys? Southwest Oregon continues to be the leading place to find turkeys. For the third year in a row the Melrose Unit did not take first place in turkey harvest— that honor went to Rogue Unit again. This was partly due to a decline in hunting pressure in Melrose, which could be related to lack of public lands in the unit (just 16 percent of Melrose is public land and some private land is tied up by leases). ODFW is working to increase accessible turkeys throughout Oregon. This winter, about 300 nuisance turkeys from private land were relocated to public lands or public accessible areas. Those who want to hunt southwest Oregon may have an easier time accessing land in Rogue, which is 57 percent public lands, or another leading unit like Applegate or Evans Creek.
