Beavers were historically numerous in the watersheds of the eastern
slopes of the Cascade Mountains. Early trapping dramatically reduced the
beaver numbers, altering tributary watersheds. Beaver are a keystone
species, creating habitat and influencing natural processes that benefit
many other species, including birds and salmon ~ funding from the
Salmon Recovery Board is allowing the 3-year Yakima Beaver Project to
relocate whole beaver families where problems are occurring within urban
and agricultural areas. In the past, beavers were lethally removed; this
project provides the opportunity to live-trap and re-establish them in up-
per Yakima River tributaries, where their services will be welcomed, to
restore riparian function, improve water quality and flow, and enhance
fish and wildlife habitat. Our speaker, William Meyer, will show slides and
discuss the life history of the beaver, and the project work to this point. A program for all ages!
William Meyer has worked as a Fish and Wildlife Biologist for 24 years for several agencies: pres-
ently, the Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). His research subjects have included Spot-
ted Owls, Northern Fur Seals and Southern Fur Seals, penguins and seabirds in the Antarctic, a vari-
ety of marine and freshwater fish species, salamanders, and critters such as squirrels. He has a
B.S. from UW and an M.S. from CWU. Currently William’s work is conservation-related, for the past
nine years working on the Wildlife Bridges on I-90. Come join us! Bring a friend!
Kittitas Audubon meetings are held the 3rd Thursday of each month, September through May (except
December), with a short business meeting prior to the presentation, and ―sweet treats‖ over conver-
sation at the end. As with all Audubon events the public is always welcome. Many thanks to the Ellens-
burg Public Library for sponsoring our meetings at Hal Holmes!

Colder weather has de-
scended on Kittitas Valley
this week and thoughts are
turning to indoor activities
while an eye is kept on feed-
ers in the yard. For me, reading is much more a pastime
of winter than summer, but I’ve begun a little earlier this
season as my foot recuperates from surgery.
THE BIG YEAR by Mark Obmascik was selected because
it has been produced as a film that is presently at the local
theatre. A ―fun read‖, it is the true story of three birders
who, individually, set out to find the most bird species in
continental North America in 1998. This is ―extreme bird-
ing‖! The early lives of each, how they were introduced to
birds, their present personal lives, as well as some histori-
cal data of prominent people in the field of ornithology,
and bird subjects such as the introduction of non-native
bird species, are also included to make this novel an en-
joyable read. The experiences during the Year, the ―top
spotter‖, and the resources involved will not be revealed
as it would ruin the story for those who read the book.
It is believed by many in the birding field that the record
will never be broken, or even come close. Several factors
combined to make the record possible that year: the
strongest El Nino on record, the trip of the century to Attu
(a remote island off Alaska, no longer accessible), and the
fact that plane travel is much more difficult with the secu-
rity measures after 9/11.
In the film, the men and their experiences are portrayed
fairly accurately with some comedy, but their names, bird
numbers, and some data have been changed. However,
the birds are real and the actors are tops. No rave re-
views from the critics, but birders seem to be enjoying it.
The book can be found at the Ellensburg Public Library.
Other books similar in subject matter, but at the same
time very different, are KINGBIRD HIGHWAY by Kenn
Kaufman, TO SEE EVERY BIRD ON EARTH by Dan Koep-
pel, and BIRDING ON BORROWED TIME by Phoebe
Snetsinger.

October’s First Saturday BirdWalk ~ A very
quiet walk at Irene Rinehart Riverfront Park on
the first day of October yielded only nine species
of birds***. A pleasant morning with tempera-
tures in the sixties brought nine birders out for
the early morning. We listened…...and lis-
tened……and listened, but rarely a bird sound did
we hear. Maybe the late season this year has
pushed our fall/winter birds a bit later also. All
birds tallied were our resident species that one
can most always spot: Black-capped Chickadee,
Northern Flicker, Red-tailed Hawk, Black-billed
Magpie, European Starling, Downy Woodpecker,
Belted Kingfisher, Killdeer, and Raven. Maybe
next month will bring our winter visitors.
(Note***This was the least we have ever found, for even on our very first Saturday ten years ago with two people and two degree weather, we found eleven species. )

Skagit Delta & Anacortes 2-Day Weekend,
October 8 & 9: West-side trips sometimes
seem like a long haul, but a 7 am departure
found four ―just-do-it‖ Kittitas folks birding in
cool sunshine by 10:30 on Fir Island,
west of Mt. Vernon, where the Skagit
River, Puget Sound’s biggest river sys-
tem, creeps across tidal lands into the
bay. We visited 3 of the 4 access points
to wild estuarine land, spending much
of Saturday at the largest - the Skagit
Wildlife Mgmt Area, which includes farm
land recently reclaimed for the tides.
Several long-lens birders showed up
here on a nice Saturday to see numbers
of ducks, shorebirds, and
raptors: our visit was well
timed, beating the duck
hunters by a week. Groups
of wigeon, shoveler, teal,
and Mallards in deeper
ponds were guarded by
statuesque Great Blue Her-
ons, two of which had a
vocal and choreographed
territorial spat before our
very eyes. The loser, bill
pointing upward in a ―face-
saving pose‖, edged away
from further confrontation. Mudflats had 100+
Long-billed Dowitchers, Greater and Lesser Yel-
lowlegs in small groups, and a lone Baird’s
Sandpiper in the grass at our feet. No other
sandpipers here today, as we left before the high
tide might push them in. Harriers cruised the
wetlands, a pair of eagles perched at a huge
nest, and there were good looks at Peregrines,
both flying and through the lens at a perched
bird. We rewarded ourselves with a nice dinner
(although we found that the town is pretty lively
on a Saturday night with long waits at the most
popular restaurants) and a comfortable bed in
Mt. Vernon.
On Sunday, after a fine breakfast and lattes at a
local café, the windless morning at the Hayton
Reserve access was hopping with Song and Sa-
vannah Sparrows in the berry brush, and hun-
dreds of noisy Snow Geese in a distant field, with
smaller groups of White-fronted and Cackling
Geese in a nearby plowed field. Here we saw an-
other squabble for perching rights as a female
kingfisher several times determinedly chased
away a male. Green-winged Teal, mostly still in
plain summer plumage, were skimming the tidal
mud with their bills for goodies. At Jensen ac-
cess, still at low tide, we spotted a few distant
tall plovers, probably Black-Bellied, although an
American Golden was ID’d there this weekend.
Next we chose to
look at sea birds at
Washington Park,
west of Anacortes,
where we had a
lengthy lunch stop in
nice sunshine. The
sights in between
hurried bites of sand-
wich and views
through the scope
included: Marbled
Murrelets (many
pairs in bright B&W
winter plumage), Bonaparte’s
Gulls (very vocal juvs and
adults), Heerman’s Gulls,
Common Murres (flotillas well
out from shore), Red-Necked
Grebes, female/juv Harlequin
Ducks, and a single Rhinoc-
eros Auklet. We also spotted
Harbor Porpoises (a WA-BC
species of concern) from the
driving loop. Our efforts to catch incoming tides
at Padilla Bay and Samish Flats were mostly a
learning experience, but we tallied over 50 spe-
cies and were especially happy to view the
threatened murrelets in such numbers.

Baird’s Sandpiper
A Beaver Dam Tale by Janet Nelson Page 4 The Hooter
We lived for many years in the
forest near Lake Kachess on
Lodge Creek which has a long
history of beavers on it. When we
first bought our 6 acres, there
was no sign of beavers. An old-
timer, who was trying to market
his property on the creek, told me
that he had dynamited the beaver
dam to get water off his acreage!
In not too many years beaver
evidence showed up. (They are
nocturnal so we never actually saw
them.) They started trying to
build dams at every narrow area
on the creek. There began to be a
problem with them trying to build
a dam inside the large culvert for
the stream under the county road.
It would get plugged up, the creek
would overflow the road, and the
county road department would pull
the plug out. Eventually they had
the beaver trapped out.
We wanted the beavers there, so
when the beaver came back and
began work on the culvert again, I
decided to try to clear it out. The
first day, I learned that they
wedged the sharp end of the
branches they had cut into the
seam where 2 sections of culvert
came together close to the
upstream end . The second night
rocks had been brought in and
placed along the base of the
branches, then gravel,
grass, sand and mud. Each
day I would go in, pull this
stuff out and each night
they would go in and
rebuild with more than the
night before! After only a
few days the plug filled
1/3 of the culvert and it
dawned on me that when I
loosened it this time I
might be wiped out!
So I quit...
When the culvert was full,
the county crew came with
a machine and pulled the plug out
from the upstream end .
I wrote to the Maine game
department and got some
information on beaver pipes and
screening of culverts. I gave this
to the road department and they
made several attempts to screen
off the upstream end of the
culvert, but didn’t try a beaver
pipe which would have allowed the
water to flow on through
attempted blockages. The beaver
used the screen to start building
on! The county took the screen
out in the fall, probably afraid of
a big flooding mess in the spring
thaw.
The beaver eventually built a huge
dam creating a large pond further
upstream and stayed away from
the culvert. We built a trail out
there and saw slick grass “beaver
trails” where they had pulled
themselves out of the water to go
up the hill to cut trees. They did
kill a lot of trees, but mostly
smaller ones near the stream.
Since we have moved into town, I
don’t know if they are still there;
neighbors think they are, but
from the large amounts of grass
growing in the pond next to the
culvert I doubt this.
The beaver impressed me
endlessly with all they could do
and the way they did it.

Most recently, Marianne Gordon has been our
Historian, but as a charter member of Kittitas
Audubon (1988) she has held many offices/
chairmanships over the years, as well as seeing
many changes in the organization. She has
served as the Voice who answers questions for
anyone who calls the phone number in the Ellens-
burg directory listed as Audubon. Bird questions
have ranged from who to call with an injured rap-
tor, to calls indicating where an unusual (and
sometimes not so unusual) species can be spot-
ted. Marianne has been in charge of the Great
Backyard Bird Count, the Thanksgiving Count,
and has rarely missed a Christmas Bird Count.
Her personal list of yard birds is ―Citizen Science‖
at its best. She has kept records for more than
twenty-five years, noting when each species ar-
rived and how often the species are seen daily.
But this winter, her life has taken a big step; she
will migrate to Tennessee to winter in the south.
Eastern birds will appear in her binoculars. So
with thanks, Marianne, we give you a KAS Blue
Ribbon while wishing you ―good birding‖. See
you in the spring!
(Note: She mentioned that species over the
years are arriving about two weeks earlier than in
the past. Climate variation?)

AUDUBON CONFERENCE OF WASHINGTON
On October 8th, Hal and Gloria Lindstrom, Gerry
Sorenson, and Jeb and Gloria Baldi traveled to
Moses Lake to meet with members of state
Audubon chapters to determine the role of
Audubon Washington. (The office was disbanded
at the end of 2009 because of lack of funding from
National Audubon). A year ago, representatives
agreed on a short term solution by hiring a lobbyist
to work with like-minded environmental
organizations at the WA State Legislature. That
effort was deemed successful, but it is felt that the
Audubon chapters need a more permanent
coordinator to direct chapters with the assistance
they need as issues arise. This would be in addition
to having a lobbying influence at the state level.
Two methods were proposed. One would be to
have only a Chapter Coordinator, the other would
be a Chapter Coordinator with a part-time lobbyist
for the upcoming session. Both versions include
$1000 each year to join the Environmental Priorities
Coalition (EPC). KAS Board will vote on its choice of
methods at the Nov. 3rd Board meeting. If anyone
has an interest in state conservation issues,
KAS welcomes you to step forward.
A special THANK YOU to Audubon members who
donated refreshments for the ACOW
meeting held in Moses Lake the 8th of
October - Patti Erickson, Shane
Early, Ann Rogan, Beth Rogers,
Janet Nelson, and Marte
Fallshore. Several ACOW members
expressed a sincere thanks for real
homemade treats. The leftovers have been frozen
and will be served by our refreshment specialist,
Kay Forsythe, at future monthly meetings.

ject next year because we have lost the ser-
vices of Marianne Gordon.

pate and contribute their time and skills to
KAS ~ WHO….. WHO….. HOOOO???
The Thanksgiving Bird Count was begun in
the east in 1966, but didn’t come west until
1992 ~ so this is the West’s 20th anniversary.
Last year, 476 counts yielded 154 different
species, with the Dark-eyed Junco at the top
in several reckonings: most numerous
((3,517), seen by the highest percentage of
counters (66.5%), and the only species seen
in all 12 states. AND, Ellensburg was one of
only fourteen communities that offered more
than five reports (Marianne’s influence!).
Let’s top that!

IS PLANTING YOUR PASSION??
The Reecer Creek
Floodplain project
west of the Rotary Park
ball fields is coming to
fruition with enthusiastic
planting volunteers. On
October 11th, a group,
including four Kittitas
Audubon members, cut
500 willow stakes which
will soak to be put di-
rectly in the ground. The next event going on
right now is the planting of the 5000 trees that a
number of us potted last spring. If you would
like to plant--arrive at the east end of Dolarway
Road Bridge (now being replaced) to enter the
area from the north on any of the following
dates (orientation at start of each session):
Nov. 2 (Wed.) 9-12 and 12:30-3:30

Bird of the Month: American Pipit
At first glance, seeing that elegant breast streaking, you might suspect a
late-departing Vesper Sparrow - - until you see the long, pointed beak
and that bobbing tail ! Individuals of Anthus rubescens, in migrant
flocks, pass through Kittitas County in October on their way to their
winter refuge. Large numbers winter in coastal California and the
southern states. The winter range of the American Pipit seems to be
expanding northward over the last century. Summer breeding takes
place in the Arctic and western alpine habitats. In Washington, that
includes timberline areas from Rainier to the North Cascades and
Olympics. In the winter, most likely a different population of pipits may
be found in Puget Sound. If you’re in the mountains in
the summer you might see a flock catching bugs on a
snowfield (this writer saw them in the Goat Rocks).
Perhaps because they frequent such lonely areas away
from people, American Pipits are a species of least
concern.
Other closely related pipits (once thought to be a single
holoarctic species) occupy cooler northern territories all
around the globe. Pipits, of the family Motacillidae, are
cousins of the Eurasian wagtails – which also bob their
tail – and African birds called longclaws - some of which
look like misplaced meadowlarks.
These photos were taken on October 16th along Hayward Road. Several juvenile birds were perching on the fence and foraging on the ground. Just after we got these photos, they flew up to join a large flock overhead.
