INSIDE

Please join Great Salt Lake Audubon (GSLA) for a monthly BIRDS ‘n BITES program. These informative and entertaining meetings are free and open to all. Refreshments and socializing begin at 6:30 pm; the program begins at 7:00 pm.

See meeting location and contact information below.

BIRDS ‘n BITES: Tuesday, April 21, 2020, 6:30 - 8:00 pm“Wasatch Now – Today” Alex Schmidt, Campaigns Coordinator, Save Our CanyonsImagine if we waited to protect Yellowstone, like we have to protect greater Yellowstone. The longer we wait to secure protections for the Wasatch, the harder it will get. Development pressures continue to connect communities and “economic centers” through this massif of rock, wildlife habitat, and water supply. The majesty of place, biodiversity, and the water we depend upon ... threatened for a buck. A plan is only as good as the leaders we elect to foster its implementation. Sadly, we’ve lacked the leadership to realize protections, instead investing in roads and subsidies for developers rather than meaningful transportation solutions-like buses. Save Our Canyons has participated in processes such as Wasatch Canyons Tomorrow and Mountain Accord. Tomorrow is here and accord achieved yet securing a sustainable future has never looked so bleak.

BIRDS ‘n BITES: Tuesday, March 17, 2020, 6:30 - 8:00 pm“Secret Lives of Predators Revealed Through Trail Cameras” Mark Jasumback, Science Teacher, Skyline High SchoolMany people interested in viewing wildlife occasionally see red tail foxes and coyotes at a distance during daylight hours. They seldom observe the secretive and solitary cougar or bobcat, and viewing black bears is always nice at a distance. Come and share my experience observing the behaviors of predators in the wild: cougars using scent to mark their realm, a bobcat in search of prey, a coyote taking down small prey, and a male black bear communicating its presence to a female black bear.

BOARD HIGHLIGHTS-JAN/FEBBy Leah Richardson, Secretary, GSLA

Believe it or not, spring is just around the corner, and Great Salt Lake Audubon has been busy planning lots of upcoming activities and field trips. We are excited about the Great Salt Lake Bird Festival (May 14-17) and the grand opening of Tracy Aviary’s Jordan River Nature Center on April 25, the weekend after Earth Day. Mark your calendars.

Thanks to the participants in the Christmas Bird Count. There was a great turn out this year despite some inclement weather. See Ian and Jeanne’s article below for more details on the outcome.

Also, thanks to all that replied to our annual donation letter request. We appreciate everyone’s support!

As you know, GSLA supports local conservation projects each year through our grants program. We are happy that we are able to support these important local projects. We will be able to update you in the next newsletter with the grant awardees.

Conservation issues are always important to our cause. Heather Dove and Georgie Corkery continue to work on issues like stopping the Inland Port. This year, GSLA will again sign on to America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act and will join the Utah Wilderness Coalition to aid with this effort.

For those of you that attended the first GSLA Paint Night, we hope you had a great time! It was a fun and successful event. Much thanks to Amanda Sharette-Kay for organizing this.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEANING YOUR BIRD FEEDERSBy Kelli Frame, Owner, Wild Birds Unlimited

Roughly 52 million Americans have learned the joy of feeding birds. Along with joy comes the responsibility of making our feeders safe for the birds who visit. Cleaning your feeders, baths, and the area around your feeding station will reduce the spread of avian diseases, keep plants from sprouting and creating an unsightly mess, and will keep rodents away.

The best feeders are made of non-porous material and can be disassembled and cleaned easily. We love tube feeders made of UV stabilized polycarbonate and hoppers made of recycled milk cartons. Tube feeders should be brushed out regularly with a long stiff brush to remove any old food or debris, and then once a month they should be cleaned with hot soapy water and rinsed in a solution made of 9 parts water and 1 part bleach to disinfect. We advise people to pick a schedule to help them remember (e.g., first Saturday of every month).

Once feeders are scrubbed and bleached, they must be well rinsed and left to air dry completely. If bleaching feels too onerous, consider Eco-Clean© feeders. They are made from material that prevents growth of any mold, mildew, or bacteria and never need to be bleached.

Hoppers with a removable tray are ideal, because the tray can be easily cleaned with a hose and brush, and then the whole feeder scrubbed and disinfected once a month.

If you see sick birds at any of your feeders, with swollen eyes or who look puffy and listless, take all feeders down and bleach them, and clean the ground around the feeders to remove any moldy or old seed. If the problem doesn’t improve, we advise taking everything down for one week to let the birds disperse, and then putting it all back clean and disinfected after one week.

Hummingbird feeders should be cleaned every time they’re filled because mold is deadly to hummingbirds. Simply rinse them in very hot water and clean all the ports with a port brush, getting all the hard to reach places in the feeder. If you ever see black mold in the nectar or on any surface of the feeder, the feeder needs to be soaked in a 10% bleach solution for ten minutes, rinsed well, and then left to air dry.

Birds are messy bathers and baths can get dirty very quickly. We recommend placing birdbaths out of direct sun to reduce the growth of mold, and scrubbing them daily with a stiff brush. Water should be dumped and replaced daily.

Lastly, clean the area around your feeders. Shells, unwanted seed, and bird droppings will accumulate very quickly. This buildup will get moldy very quickly, which poses a risk to both birds and humans. We recommend raking up the debris under the feeders regularly or mulching it under, sweeping it up off decks, and moving feeders monthly to keep the pile from building up. Rodents are attracted to these piles and can often be seen poking around looking for any food dropped by the birds. We strongly recommend using a high quality, no-mess blend in your feeders, or something with a light amount of black oil, if you want to reduce the amount of food that ends up on the ground.

Feeding birds is a rewarding hobby and is important for the survival of birds, especially in winter. A little extra work on our part makes all the difference for the health of our birds.

GREAT SALT LAKE AUDUBON FUNDRAISING PAINT NIGHTBy Amanda Sharette-Kay, Education Committe Chair, GSLA (Photo credit)

The first Great Salt Lake Audubon Fundraising Paint Night was a great success! Participants brought in over $300. Throughout the painting event, participants not only learned how to paint adorable Black-capped Chickadees, but also learned a few facts about these curious little creatures! Here are some things our participants had to say about the event:

"I had a great time at the painting night. It was well organized and the teacher was very enthusiastic." Janet Cook"I really enjoyed the paint night at Fiddlers. I love the cause, and the instructor was very hands-on and took her time going around to everyone to help." Dawn Griffith

Thank you to everyone who came and showed their support!

GREAT SALT LAKE BIRD FESTIVAL, MAY14-17, 2020By Cheyenne Twitchell, Tourism Marketing Coordinator, Davis County Tourism & Events

Davis County, Utah, is excited to once again host the 22nd annual Great Salt Lake Bird Festival!

In 2020, we are pleased to bring over 40 field trips to the Festival. Attendees will get the opportunity to choose trips that take them around the Wasatch Front and visit areas with open water, shores of fresh and saline lakes, sagebrush foothills and depending on weather, aspen and evergreen forests. Each trip is designed to be uniquely different and cater to different interests and experiences. Attendees will be able to experience some of Utah’s most beautiful State Parks, State Wildlife Areas, and National Refuge areas. Select trips will have the privilege of going on private properties and will receive behind the scenes access to exclusive glimpses of wildlife and management.

This year’s keynote speaker will be Steve Shunk, field biologist, co-founder of the East Cascades Audubon, writer, and woodpecker enthusiast. After moving to Oregon’s “Woodpecker Wonderland” in 1997, Steve has had a 20-year obsession studying this charismatic family of birds. In addition to being our keynote speaker on May 16th, Steve will co-lead field trips, hold book signings, and lead his own woodpecker workshop.

Other Festival activities include a student art contest and youth activities, workshops, live bird presentations, photography-focused field trips, a delicious Dutch Oven dinner, and so much more! We hope to see you this year for another great Festival!

Field trip tickets will go on sale March 16 at 9 am. Visit the Festival website to see the field trip schedule and to learn more: www.GreatSaltLakeBirdFest.com

If you have any questions about the Festival or would like to participate as a sponsor or booth exhibitor, please email Cheyenne Twitchell at ctwitchell@daviscountyutah.gov

2019 GREAT SALT LAKE CBC RECAPBy Ian Batterman, Field Trip Committee Chair, GSLA

Last December marked the 120th anniversary of the Christmas Bird Count (CBC), the longest running community science project in North America. The CBC attempts to count as many birds as possible between December 14 and January 5 in 15-mile-diameter circles all around the continent.

For the 2019 Great Salt Lake CBC, we had 118 people participating and we counted 30,212 individuals covering 104 species. The participants and species count were average, but the individual count was quite a bit lower than normal. One reason for the low numbers was the low amount of water birds: waterfowl, shorebird, and gull numbers were way down this past count. This could be because of the relatively warm winter we have been having, which caused less ice, meaning the water birds were more spread out beyond our count circle. We did have more raptors in the count this year than last year, and we also had more doves and woodpeckers. The surprise species we got this past year were Short-eared Owl, Williamson’s Sapsucker, and MacGillivray’s Warbler.

The data from the CBC has been vital to bird population studies in North America. It was one of the sources behind the recent study about drastic bird population decline across the US and Canada. Though we are losing many bird species due to climate change and other human related causes, the study shows that, overall, Western birds are declining less than Eastern birds. This is due, in part, to human population density differences as well as the difference in habitat decline: grasslands and coasts are losing more birds than mountain forests. Now that we know that these declines are happening, we can do something to prevent it. One of those things is to help participate in surveys like the Christmas Bird Count as more eyes can help get an accurate count of bird populations.

2019 JORDAN RIVER CBC REPORTBy Jeanne Le Ber, Member Board of Directors, GSLA

Thirty-nine participants birded on January 4, 2020, as part of the Jordan River Christmas Bird Count. The JR-CBC centers at Point of the Mountain on the Utah/Salt Lake County line and Interstate 15. The nine birding teams counted a total of 83 species and 21,842 individual birds. This year we added a team that covered the 28,000 acres of Camp Williams, hosted by Chris Frauenhofer, biologist.

Eight species of birds were seen by all teams; 23 species of birds were seen by only one team (which points out the important contribution of each team); and we added two new species to the count circle: Blue-winged Teal and American White Pelican. Since 1989 we have recorded 149 species in this count circle. The following table summarizes the number of species and individual birds seen by each team:
