    STERN TANAGER LOS Angeles Alldubon Society Volume 49 Number 1 September 1982 The Identification of Common and Lesser Nighthawks by Kimball Garrett and Jon Dunn Common ur two nighthawks (genus Chor- deiles) are quite different in seasonal and geographical distribution in southern California; fundamental to an under- standing of such differences is the correct allocation of sightings to species. In this note we discuss the major field characters which should separate virtually all individuals. We also briefly treat age, sex, and geographical variation in each species; such variation is especially pronounced in the Common Night- hawk ( C. minor). The Lesser Nlghthawk (C. acutipennii) is our more widespread species. It breeds through most of our desert areas, north to Mono County and west to the Antelope and Lesser San Joaquin Valleys. Small populations also breed on the coastal slope, especially where broad, dry gravel washes exist below foothill canyons. Transients are often noted away from breeding areas, particularly in fall. The few winter records are for the southern coast and southern deserts; this species may be regular in small numbers in winter in the southeastern part of our region. Otherwise, the species is and in some adjacent valleys (e.g. Fish lake The illustrations for this article were drawn by generally not expected before mid-March or Valley of Mono Co. and adjacent Nevada).

    CLOSING DATE August 19, 2016 DESCRIPTION The University of California, Riverside is seeking an Assistant Reserve Director for the James San Jacinto Mountain and Oasis de los Osos Reserves, one of 39 sites that comprise the UC Natural Reserve System (UCNRS), which is the largest university- administered reserve system in the world. The UCNRS encompasses more than 756,000 throughout California. Founded in 1965 to provide undisturbed environments for research, education and public service, the NRS contributes to understanding and wise stewardship of the Earth. Established in 1966, the James Reserve is located in the San Jacinto Mountains next to the San Bernardino National Forest. The James Reserve is located in the San Jacinto Mountains next to the San Bernardino National forest and is roughly 29 acres that consists of mixed coniferous forest, pine oak woodland, montane chaparral and riparian habitats. Facilities at the Reserve can accommodate 70+ overnight visitors and include a main dormitory style lodge, 3 dormitory-style modular units and a classroom/wet lab. Oasis de los Osos is a satellite reserve to the James. It is about a 45-minute drive from the James Reserve and is located in San Gorgonio Pass, 19 km northwest of Palm Springs. There are no facilities at los Osos. Each Reserve reports to the James Reserve Director, a Faculty Campus Director and is guided by a Campus Advisory Committee. The Assistant Director 1) provides daily management of the Reserves, including orienting visitors, facilities, road and trail maintenance activities, and collecting and managing data input, e.g. weather station data, camera trap data and accounts for reserve usage; 2) maintains database and other information management, including website, maps using GPS and GIS, catalogue and organize library including historic collections of maps, literature, including incoming publications, and the teaching collection of preserved specimen; 3) ability to operate a range of equipment related work outside, e.g.
