Report # SC-IMBCR-06 Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Connecting people, birds and land Mission: Conserving birds and their habitats through science, education and land stewardship Vision: Native bird populations are sustained in healthy ecosystems Bird Conservancy of the Rockies conserves birds and their habitats through an integrated approach of science, education and land stewardship. Our work radiates from the Rockies to the Great Plains, Mexico and beyond. Our mission is advanced through sound science, achieved through empowering people, realized through stewardship and sustained through partnerships. Together, we are improving native bird populations, the land and the lives of people. Core Values: 1. Science provides the foundation for effective bird conservation. 2. Education is critical to the success of bird conservation. 3. Stewardship of birds and their habitats is a shared responsibility. Goals: 1. Guide conservation action where it is needed most by conducting scientifically rigorous monitoring and research on birds and their habitats within the context of their full annual cycle. 2. Inspire conservation action in people by developing relationships through community outreach and science-based, experiential education programs. 3. Contribute to bird population viability and help sustain working lands by partnering with landowners and managers to enhance wildlife habitat. 4. Promote conservation and inform land management decisions by disseminating scientific knowledge and developing tools and recommendations. Suggested Citation: White, C. M., M. F. McLaren, N. J.

  • Wildlife of the North Hills: Birds, Animals, Butterflies
    Wildlife of the North Hills: Birds, Animals, Butterflies Oakland, California 2005 About this Booklet The idea for this booklet grew out of a suggestion from Anne Seasons, President of the North Hills Phoenix Association, that I compile pictures of local birds in a form that could be made available to residents of the north hills. I expanded on that idea to include other local wildlife. For purposes of this booklet, the “North Hills” is defined as that area on the Berkeley/Oakland border bounded by Claremont Avenue on the north, Tunnel Road on the south, Grizzly Peak Blvd. on the east, and Domingo Avenue on the west. The species shown here are observed, heard or tracked with some regularity in this area. The lists are not a complete record of species found: more than 50 additional bird species have been observed here, smaller rodents were included without visual verification, and the compiler lacks the training to identify reptiles, bats or additional butterflies. We would like to include additional species: advice from local experts is welcome and will speed the process. A few of the species listed fall into the category of pests; but most - whether resident or visitor - are desirable additions to the neighborhood. We hope you will enjoy using this booklet to identify the wildlife you see around you.

  • The Identification of Early Prehistoric Settlement Patterns Along the Coast of Southwest Oregon: a Survey Based Upon Amateur Artifact Collections
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Reginald John Pullen for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Anthropology/Fisheries and Wildlife/English presented on December 4, 1981. Title: The Identification of Early Prehistoric Settlement Patterns Along the Coast of Southwest Oregon: A Survey Based Upon Amateur Artifact Collections. Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: Richard E. Ross I Surveys of amateur artifact collections in southwest Oregon indicate that traditional settlement pattern models for this region may be in error. Based on the distribution of major styles of projectile points, at least two distinct periods of occupation are definable. The Early period is tentatively dated between 1000 B.C. and 500 A.D. and the Late period between 500 A.D. and 1856 A.D. The Early period was characterized by reliance upon upland resources, and the focus of occupation was along the upper reaches of coastal rivers. The Late period was characterized by reliance upon riverine and maritime resources, and the focus ofoccupation was on coastal bays and estuaries.Three sites located along the upper Coquille and Rogue River estuaries may reflect a transition period, when the adaptation from upland to maritime resources took place. The results of this study demonstrate that amateur artifactcollec- tions can be useful sources of information about a region'sprehistory, especially if little scientifically documented evidence isavailable.
