BIRDERS GIVE ALL IN SUC By Joan Lentz Photo by Roger Millikan owls. We had all ve species of doves and all ve spe CESSFUL COUNT! Santa Barbara Audubon Society’s annual Christmas Bird Count, on January 4, 2003, featured diligent pre-Count scouting, su- perior teamwork on Count Day, and the fabulous local enthusi- asm for which we are famous. Every year, it seems, gets better than the year before! Approximately 175 observers fanned out over the 15-mile diameter Count Circle (centered at the corner of Highway l54 and Foothill Rd) and tallied an amazing 210 differ- ent kinds of birds seen or heard in the 24-hour period. The weather was divine—how lucky can we get?—after a couple of weeks of rain. The rain was great. It helped us by creat- ing the ponds and puddles that attract waterbirds. Every Count is different. This one’s secret was in the depth of species seen on the regular list. Over the years, one learns how important it is to “build the list” before you get the “rare” add- ons. And our waterfowl helped us here. So did the doves and the cies of owls checked off. What were some high counts for certain species? Long-billed Curlew stands out with 24, Common (now called Wilson’s) Snipe with 54, and Western Gull with 4475 On the other hand, this year we specialized in Canvasback, Greater Scaup, Ruddy Turnstone (what bird, Golden-crowned Kinglet, and Phainopepla. It was a strange year for montane birds. These spe “one ofs.” That is, one of each of the following: Least Bittern, ‘s happening with them?), Red-naped Sapsucker, Tropical King- cies, that traditionally stay in the mountains in winter, sometimes wander to lowland areas. Although this was not a true montane ight year, we did have Mountain Chickadees, Red- breasted Nuthatches, a Townsend’s Solitaire, a Brown Creeper, and a few Pine Siskins which helped in the total. The Count had its share of rarities, of course. Some birds, like the Zone-tailed Hawk, returned for its l0th year in north Goleta, and the Rusty Blackbird, back for its 4th year in south Goleta, seem likelold friends by nOW And the Short-eared Owl on More Mesa (who knows if it’s the there were some new vagrants that showed up on Cou same one or a different one every year?) was counted at dusk. But nt Day, too. A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in a tree at Goleta Valley Junior High School, a Least Flycatcher on the zoo property, 2 Lewis’s Woodpeckers on La Patera Ranch, 4 White- winged Doves in south Goleta, and a Black Scoter in Goleta Bay all added to the excitement. One spe- cies, the Elegant Tern, was a rst for the Santa Bar- bara CBC. Four were seen on Count Day, a testa- ment to possible range expansion on the part of this bird. Normally, the very similar Royal Tern is a regular winter visitor here. Bad misses on Count Day were most oriole and grosbeak species. Perhaps the fact that the Blue Gum Eucalyptus trees bloomed later in the season than normal contributed to the lack of orioles and grosbeaks, because they usually feed on the nectar of these blossoms. cont!/med on page 3 Phol by P11141 52""-’lT J U l

    058994

    Santa Barbara Foundation (SBF) has awarded $20,000for SBAS’s “Meet Your Wild Neighbor" (MYWN) Sci-

    ence Education Outreach Program. This program, created

    in 2002 with a previous grant from SBF, educates lst through3rd grade students in Santa Barbara elementary schools‘about wildlife they see every day on their school grounds,backyards, parks and neighborhoods. This ve week multi-

    dimensional lesson series combines visits from live hawks

    and owls, storytelling, neighborhood bird walks, art activi-ties and a eld trip to Lake Los Carneros.

    Gabriele and Max enchant Adams Smog] Classroom Students receive innovative colored curriculum card sets

    featuring pictures and information about l2 of the most com-monly seen local birds, as well as a sound CD with their calls. Children receive their own species check list, on which

    they can list the birds they notice either by sight or sound. The card set can be played like a game, and shared with family

    members at home. All lessons match California State Science Education guidelines for each grade.The program’s inspiration comes from director Gabriele Drozdowski, long-time children’s entertainer, educator,

    writer and wildlife rehabilitator. Ms. Drozdowski has personally cared for over 2,200 individual orphaned, oiled, in-

    jured and displaced wild birds over the last l l years - from tiny storm-petrels, loons, and herons to hawks, owls, falcons

    and vultures. The majority of birds come in due to conict with human activities.When asked what inspired her to create this program Ms. Drozdowski comments: “Nature has given so much to

    me. I was severely emotionally and physically abused during my childhood, and had it not been for the peaceful hoursI spent roaming through the meadows and pine forests of Bavaria where I grew up, I probably would have given up. Butthe peace, beauty and serenity I experienced through the “mothering” of nature gave me a reason to keep trying throughoutmany difcult years. Wildlife rehabilitation and MYWN are one way of giving back. Maybe I can’t save the world, butoften I can save a small beautiful piece of it. I love to give back by sharing my stories with children - especially thoseliving in our poorest neighborhoods, those in need of lifelines. My wild education partners Max (Great Horned Owl),Ivan (Red-tailed Hawk), Squirt (Red-shouldered Hawk), and Sedona (Peregrine Falcon) enchant and inspire children.

    Through MYWN they too can experience the beauty, magic and power that I found in meadows and forests. I usehumor a lot. I have many funny and poignant stories of true encounters. The children absolutely love the program; theyare so thirsty for this information, and want to know how they t into nature, and how to relate to the wild beings

    around them. At the same time they are also learning their science curriculum, which pleases the teachers."McKinley School rst grade teachers who participated last year had this to say: “ 10+ Outstanding in all areas. This

    was truly a worthwhile educational experience. It has had a lasting effect on our students. We loved everything! WOW!Can't wait for next year." Second grade teacher Ann Tonkin adds “One aspect of her visits that we had not consideredwas how what she taught transferred out of the classroom and into the school at large. The rst and second gradersstarted teaching their friends and siblings to identify the birds around the campus and as the spring progressed it seemedlike the whole school was watching the birds and the nests around our campus!"

    Eight classrooms at McKinley School participated in the pilot project last year. The 2003 grant will bring MYWNto 24 classrooms at McKinley, Adams, Cesar Chavez and Cleveland Elementary Schools.

    I _ Q IArt of the Arroyo Hondo Preserve AJohn lwerks, Speaker

    Wednesday, February 26

    John Iwerks, well known for his striking paintings of Santa Barbara’senvironmental features, will take us on an artist’s tour of the Arroyo

    Hondo Preserve. Committed to keeping open elds and wild spaces forever, John's work over the years with the Mu-seum of Natural History, the National Park Service, the Nature Conservancy and now Arroyo Hondo, reflects his viewthat landscape painting can serve as a “vital force in the preservation of open space.”

    John takes a wonderfully varied approach to painting, reecting his knowledge in geology, paleontology, NativePeoples’ culture and living life forms. John notes that “conversations with historians such as Jim Blakely and J. J.Hollister are exciting and have added immeasurably to my growing interest and understanding of the Arroyo HondoCanyon and its surroundings." As a member of the Oak Group, he and other ‘plein air’ artists have donated signicantcontributions to groups as varied as The Nature Conservancy, The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County and TheMarin Agricultural Land Trust through the sale of their art.

    Please join John Iwerks for a unique view of the spectacular Arroyo Hondo Preserve.. q

    r The Land of Life-giving WatersWarren Ferren, Speaker

    Wednesday, March 26

    ave you ever wondered why the area from Gaviota to Carpinteria has suchabundant and varied birdlife and why SBAS usually does so well in the annual

    Christmas Bird Count? As they say, “It's the water!” This area has many examplesof the types of water habitat extant in the lower forty-eight states. And, the greaterthe variety of habitats, particularly water habitats, the greater the variety of birds.

    Wayne Ferren, the Director of the Museum of Systematics and Ecology atUCSB, will present a program to help us appreciate and understand the role thatthese habitats play in contributing to the pleasure of our bird watching.

    He will show us slides that are representative of the various habitats and theirassociated birds. And, best of all, we will be able to tap into that special source of

    an W5, experience and wisdom—Wayne Ferren. This program will be of interest to avidBy David 3 K,7;,y birders, those just getting theit feet wet, and to anyone who works, plays or “bathes"43 counted at CBC in the beauty of our diverse water resources.

    continuedfrom page IThis year, one of our out-of-town visitors remarked to me at the wonderful dinner at Fleischmann Auditorium,

    “Gee, we just don’t have anything like the preparation and scouting that you all do for your Count." To that, I have tosay that there is NO Christmas Count that can compare with the spirit and teamwork shown by that of Santa Barbara's.What an honor it is to work with such people as Dave Compton, Rebecca Coulter, Joan Hardie, and Chris Waldenwho helped me organize and compile the Count. I want to thank SBAS for sponsoring the Count, and Lee Moldaverfor helping to set up the dinner. I want to thank those who scouted for days before the Count, still others who led peoplein groups on Count Day, and all of the beginners who said to themselves, why not go out and help count birds today?

    And, in the big picture, preliminary results suggest that Santa Barbara was third nationwide, after Mad IslandMarsh, TX, at 243 and Freeport, TX, at 216. Being Number Three feels terric!
