This year the League of Women Voters of the Pensacola BayArea joined Audubon chapters, including the F.M. Weston

Audubon Society, and other Local Leagues in Northwest

Florida to work with a coalition of environmental and civic

groups to lobby to bring Environmental Resource Permitting

(ERP) to Northwest Florida (NWF). ERP is a law that provides strong

wetland protection and storm water control and has been in effect in

the rest of Florida for ten years.

At the time this bill was passed ten years ago, our NWF legislative

delegation wanted an exemption from the law because our area was

not experiencing the rapid growth of South Florida. That situationchanged with the exponential growth NWF is experiencing, and we

felt we needed the more stringent wetlands protection and storm

water control this bill provides.

We met with our coalition members in Panama City, and decided to

start a campaign sending postcards to all NWF legislators. We wrote

and designed a flyer for handouts at every public meeting we at-

tended. We provided speakers on the subject of ERP to all interested

groups. We met with most of the NWF legislators both before and

during the session.

Sometimes, you get what you ask for. Rep. Evers did introduce an

ERP bill, but it was one that contained a poison pillwording that

pre-empted the rights of county and local governments to have morestringent regulations than ERP if they so chose. Fortunately, Senator

Clary agreed with us that local governments should have the right

to control their own resources, and his Senate bill did not include

this provision. The House version was eventually changed to exclude

this pre-emption language and the House passed it. But during the

rest of the session we had to fend off attempts by the development

communitys lobbyists to insert the language in unrelated bills.

While we are happy an ERP bill finally passed both houses of

the legislature, the bills are not all that we would wish. There is no

permanent funding for ERP in NWF unlike the rest of the state, there

is no limited Bert Harris (personal property rights)

exemption that is available to the rest of the state,

and the wetlands implementation is delayed by one

and a half years. But overall, we feel the bill will give

us better protection than what we currently have.

There are many people whose hard work made

this bill possible, and we would like to give credit to

three people whose knowledge and experience made

this effort successful: Linda Young of the Clean Water

Network, and Rosalie Shaffer and Susie Caplowe of

the Sierra Club. Finally, we recognize with deep gratitude the 35

organizations that joined us in this fight and who gave the effortits broad-based strength.

A

t our annual membership

meeting in May, the as-

sembled chapter members

approved a proposal from

the Nominating Committeeto accommodate the va-

cancy in leadership created by the lack of a

candidate for either president or vice-presi-

dent of FMWAS. This proposal called for a

leadership, or committee of past chapter

presidents, henceforth referred to as Past

Audubon Presidents Council, or PAPC.

The Council is composed of four past

presidents who will provide leadership

continuity for the chapter, without any one

being solely responsible for all duties ofthe presidency. Those four, Peggy Baker,

Jim Brady, Morris Clark, and Annelise

Reunert, have been meeting monthly to

oversee chapter business and operations.

Message from the President.......Jim BradyEach has also agreed to serve as chair

of a chapter committee for the current

year, and each has been serving on the

Board of Directors in some capacity in

recent years. Accordingly, the four are upto date on chapter programs, policies,

operations, and vision, and are prepared

to continue chapter business with

minimal disruption.

The PAPC will function largely by

electronic communication and occasional

meetings. Each member will rotate

chairing the Board of Directors meetings,

and each has agreed to represent the

chapter in state or regional activities.

Your Board of Directors met on June17 for a day-long planning retreat for

the coming year, and has developed a set

of objectives that we believe will be of

interest to our chapter membership and

the goal of our chapter, to actively provide opportunities for

youth in our community to learn an appreciation of the naturalenvironment. Appreciating nature fosters a desire to preserve it,

since nobody will protect that about which they know nothing.

Henry Thoreau in the essay Walking seemed concerned

that man was losing touch with nature, and that wasin 1862! He wrote, I wish to speak for nature, for

absolute freedom and wildness...to regard man as an

inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member

of society. He wrote, while almost all men feel an attraction

drawing them to Society, few men are attracted strongly to

Nature. I wonder what he would think of us now? Wilderness

in America has almost disappeared. Many children live entirely

without meaningful experiences with Nature. To help fill this

void, it is the primary goal of the Francis M. Weston Audubon

Society to provide hands-on experiences with Nature for the

children of Escambia and Santa Rosa County.Arkansas author, Herschel D. Raney wrote a delightful book,

Snowmelt Timberdoodles in which he entertainingly and thought-

fully describes his excursions growing a naturalist his young

daughter. Dr. Raney vividly relates their adventures encountering

nests of the Greater Roadrunners, discovering frogs with tails in

their own footsteps near a muddy marsh, and observing dragon-

flies on summer flowers. This little girl will always have an

attraction to nature because her father planted the seeds and

daily cultivated her growth as a lifelong naturalist. This is

Summertime, when the living is easy...at least for birds. Well, raising young is never easy, I suppose.

The recent drought has been ideal for breeding birds. In Gulf

Breeze, fewer than 14 inches of rain have fallen since the

first of the year. Rainfall totals are: April 1.25, May 3.91

and June 0.33. This compares with about 33 inches for the

same period last year!! The drought has resulted in a bumper

crop of fledglings, seemingly everywhere in our neighbor-

hood. Some species are second brooding already. Young

Cardinals with their dark bills are fixtures at our feeder.

Young Towhees, hardly recognizable with streaked breasts,

dart from dense brush to grab fallen seeds. Mobs ofBlue

Jays, adults and young, hog the feeder. Where were they last

year following Ivan? Did they leave and return now that food

is available? Or, are these winter visitors (some Jay popula-

tions from northern states migrate) that found a niche and

decided to stay? Well never know. Eurasian Collared-Doves

and Mourning Doves feed side-by-side, young birds evident

by duller plumage. Neighborhood newcomers, White-winged

Doves, are there as well, now well-established local breeders,

the young lacking prominent blue eye-rings. Titmice and

Chickadees dart to the feeder to grab a seed when the big

birds are gone. Young Red-bellied Woodpeckers cling to the

feeder sides, storing mouthfuls of seeds before they fly off.

Even the juvenal, dull-plumaged Brown-headed Cowbird is

there. What parent was duped into raising it? Young Brown

Thrashers probe for fallen seeds in the brush near the

feeder. Around the yard, Great-crested Flycatchers hawk

insects for their young, and scream their police-like whistle

while they forage. A drab juvenal plumaged Parula Warbler,

looking nothing like its parents, bathes at the pond. Young

birds seem to be everywhere, a far cry from last year.

Last years deluges were not good for breedingbirds. During heavy rains parents cant forage for food, soyoung birds can starve if days of heavy rains persist. Heavy

downpours can actually drown fledglings in their nests. Last

year was a challenge for local birds, their problems com-

pounded by Ivan-stressed vegetation. Not so this year. Even

though the drought resulted in less seed and insect produc-

tion, birds in residential areas had the advantage of lush

vegetation watered regularly.

Summer is not a time for finding noteworthybirds. However, a Horned Grebe found at the Ft. WaltonSpray Fields on 2 June byRon Smith from south Florida was

very rare for June. A male and a female Rose-breasted Gros-

beak at our feeders on 4 June was only a second June area

record. On 9 June Powers andRosann McLeodspotted nine

Mississippi Kites, local breeders, near the airport where the

persist at this writing. Gray Kingbirds were once regular

breeders at Ft. Pickens. Following Hurricanes Erin and Opal in

1995, the birds abandoned Ft. Pickens, where as many as 16

birds were counted in 1977, and moved to breeding locations

near Office Depot in Gulf Breeze, and downtown Pensacola.

Jan Lloydspotted them downtown on 12 June andLinda

Bogiages found them on 25 June in Gulf Breeze. This is a

truly tropical species, nesting in peninsula Florida regularly

and vacating during the winter. They apparently had not bred

in our area since Hurricane Ivan, although the two reports

cited above are encouraging.Jan LloydandAnn Forster

found a breeding pair at the entrance to Gulf Shores State

Park this season, only the second report for Alabama in five

years. Another pair is breeding on Dauphin Island.

Laid bare by Ivan,Santa Rosa Island is providingample habitat for nesting terns, with over 100 Least Tern

pairs reported along Ft. Pickens road along with a few Snowy

Plovers and about 30 Black Skimmer nests near the fishing

pier. Unlike last year when early tropical storms washed out

the nests, this years nesting appears to be successful.

The petroleum crunchwill have an impact

on birding through

the lifetimes of most

of us and beyond.

In the good old days

when foreign tours

seemed too extrava-

gant, the savvy birder just jumped in his car and took off for Texas

or California or Arizona or any of the popular birding hotspots. Now

those trips require a second look and conversations as: If we get 20

miles to the gallon, and the trip to Texas Hill Country and back willbe 1500 miles and gas is $2.99...Holy mackerel.

The solutions offered by politicians range from bad to worse, and

the scientific answers arent much better. The automobile companies

who are doggedly stuck in the past are refusing to even consider pro-

ducing electric cars and are price-gouging for the hybrids. President

Bush is enthusiastic about hydrogen technology. Think von Hinden-

burg. Anyone who has watched the Hindenburg burn on Engineer-

ing Disasters on the History Channel is up to speed on hydrogen

and the hydrogen for cars will be under pressure. It will be a tough

sell. Big agriculture is pushing ethanol from corn. The fact is thatcorn requires so much fertilizer that growing it uses more petroleum

than it will replace. Think fuel at $4.00 per gallon. The ethanol-ist

argument is that Brazil has gone ethanol successfully. That is true. It

took ten years of near economic catastrophe but, to their credit, they

stuck it out. The difference is that they produce ethanol from sugar

cane. Our country has three sugar cane regions: southern Florida,

southern Louisiana, and Puerto Rico. If you like the Everglades, you

should visit now because increased sugar cane production will be the

death knell for this amazing ecosystem. We are abundantly aware

of the ecological mess Louisiana is in but it still hosts millions of

birds in the winter and cane growing will use up what is left of thewetlands. Puerto Rico is already growing sugar cane everywhere it can

be grown.

What we are going to need is a serious education initiative.

Consumers are going to have to look at driving little efficient cars (as

in Brazil) and manufacturers are going to have to build them. I cant

even think about the politicians and special interest lobbies without

needing an anger management session. The transition from what we

do now to a better system is going to be unbelievably rancorous. I

hope we survive it.

TRIPPINGONGas

The Conservation Committee (Alice Harris,

Jan Lloyd, Peggy Baker, and Annelise

Reunert) met on July 11. Five items were

discussedthe Panhandle Regional Plan,

the Beach and Rooftop Nesting Bird Project, how

members Conservation Concerns should be addressed

(and our response to others for support) and localhabitat conservation/code enforcement.

Regional Plan. Until recently, Audubon of

Florida had no Regional Plan for the Panhandle,

although five plans were in place for the remainder

of the state. Forming the sixth Regional Plan, the Panhandle

is definitely recognized now for several reasons, including

our critically important support of the Hyatt Environmental

Center. A Regional Conservation Committee meets quarterly

to discuss Panhandle issues. Annelise, Peggy and Alice plan

to attend future meetings as Annelise has done in the past.

Beach Nesting Bird Project. Brad Smith will be invited

to meet with us in winter to help us put together a solid plan

for next Spring. When that is in place, we will seek volunteers

to help with this project in the 2007 nesting season.

Conservation concerns of our members. It wa

decided that the Conservation Committee should

receive all requests for involvement in conservation

issues, whether for something as simple as a resolution

or letter of support, opposition of something, or a

request for greater involvement. The committee wil

decide whether the requested assistance is appropriatefor our Chapter, taking into consideration the likelihood

of effective participation along with our overall goal

and interests. (Of course, individuals are encouraged

to determine their own level of involvement, if any

in any project or cause.). Please bring to the attention of the

Conservation Chair, Alice Harris, or any committee member, any

conservation matter with which we might want to be involved

Local Habitat Conservation. The committee decided

to look into the activities, rules and procedures of Code

Enforcement regarding local habitats such as vacant oundeveloped land. Jan Lloyd will research this issue with the

goal of preserving natural local environments.

environmental educators, it presents basic facts about birds

and wildlife in four separate

editions, each a colorful nature

publication for students. It comes

with complete teacher support

materials, guides, activities, and

tips for outdoor study. See the

Education column for how you

can participate by sponsoring

Bald Birds. In fall, weoften receive inquiries

about bald birds,

especially Northern

Cardinals and Blue Jays.When birds molt in late

summer and fall, they

occasionally drop all

head feathers at once.

Many of these may be juveniles undergoing their first molt. It

is also possible that feather mites or lice cause the baldness.

Luckily, these birds regrow their feathers in a few weeks. For

An Inconvenient Truth is the film everyone is talkingabout. If the majority of the worlds scientists are right, we

have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could

send our entire planets climate system into a tail-spin of epi

destruction, well beyond anything we have ever experienceda catastrophe of our own making. With wit, smarts, and

hope, this film brings home Al Gores persuasive argument

that we can no longer afford to view global warming as a

political issuerather, it is the biggest moral challenge

facing our global civilization.

Hyatt Center Reportby Jim Brady

With the departure of Jennifer Kleinbaum to a new position in

New Jersey, the Center Committee is working to replace her and

to recruit a second naturalist who will implement the Gulf Coast

Urban Education Initiative. This project, described briefly in the

last Skimmer, will target the delivery of bird-related programs

to 2nd and 5th graders in ten elementary schools in Escambia

County, as well as the enhancement of facilities at Roy Hyatt

Environmental Center to increase the emphasis on birds. We

established positions at Audubon of Florida, and at this writing,

and interviewed several applicants for the two positions. We also

have been regularly interacting with the project managers at

National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the funding agency sup-

porting our project.

We note with great enthusiasm, and some sense of loss, that

Kim Walden, the teacher at RHEC, has assumed the K-12 Science

Coordinator position. We trust that our special relationship with

this dedicated teacher will continue to grow as her new job in-

cludes responsibility for the operation of RHEC. Kim was integral

to the planning of the Gulf Coast Urban Education Initiative, and

with her support, the project will be successful in each objective.

Another key to the success of this project will be more

participation by our chapter membership in the delivery of the

new curriculum to the classrooms of ten targeted schools. A small

but potent cadre of volunteers participated in Saturday morning

activities at the center last year.

Please consider joiningus in this project. Call

Jim Brady at 456-5083 orMo Michel at 433-3151.Look on our website:fmwaudubon.org for aschedule of volunteerSaturdays at RHEC eachmonth.Join us at our Augustmembership meeting tohear the details of theGulf Coast UrbanEducation Initiative.

he Brown Thrashers that annually nest in the

garden yaupon got a late start this season. First

they chose a denser patch of scrub, and then

dithered for more than a month before settling

down to the task at hand. We think it was due

to the bullying Blue Jaysboth the late start and the more

secretive nesting site.

The jays burst onto the stage, five fiercely noisy birds

claiming title to trees, shrubs, and gleanings, like a West

Side Story street gang. Three were mere fledglings, but

a demanding brood they were. One young flapper made

persistent assaults on my office window, trying to get a

foothold on the glass, impossible of course, and a little

daunting to watch. What was the fool thing thinking? That

I was his mama? And now its July and theyre still at this

fledging business. Im watching through the same window

as these mostly-grown layabouts are still doing the feed-me-

now wing-flutter begging dance and chorus.

Meanwhile the thrashers, avoiding the bully birds, at

last commenced procreation in earnest, skulking through the

brush, probing the garden, canvassing for food and fiber.

Its the low time of year for birdingunless one

is content with cardinals, jays, mockingbirds, wrens,

chickadees, and titmice. The occasional Osprey passes

overhead, and all those Laughing Gulls sullenly await

autumn. We had a family of Northern

Rough-winged Swallows hanging about

recently, feeding fledglings. A pair

of Green Herons arrive at our seawall

nearly every morning, looking for

breakfast. A Great Blue struts through

the garden on odd afternoons. Beau,

our brave poodle, barks at it, but

otherwise holds his ground. The fewresident species that we see regularly

are like old friends weve gotten to

know well enough. And we dont really mind the limited list.

Migrants should be coming through soon, and yes,

theyre entertaining and they speak in different tongues, but

theyre just tourists after all, here for the spoils and then

its off again, ta ta, see you in the movies. But our steadfast

neighbors managed to stay with us through it all. Well,

where else would they want to be?

T

Like all good

neighbors birds

have to learn

our ways and

suffer putting

up with us, as

we with them.
