| Something to ponder: "The last word of ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant: 'What good is it?' If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is good, whether we understand it or not. If the biota, in the course of aeons, has built something we like, but do not understand, then who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering." Aldo Leopold, The Sand County Almanac |
| Birdathon |
Birdathon 2011 has been scheduled for April 30.
Organizers:
Alex Maksymowicz, 541-482-1964
Jeff Tufts, 541-227-8465
This is an important fundraiser for Rogue Valley Audubon. If
you’re not going to be in the field on April 24, it’s definitely time to
back your favorite birding team. Other rules are simple: get your
friends and fellow birders to pledge so much per species or make
a flat donation in your team’s name.

Last year’s birding teams included:
Dr. Pepper Trail and Dr. Stewart Janes with their Falcons.
Norm Barrett’s Old Coots.
Bob Hunter’s team.
A fledgling team of John Bullock, Harry Fuller, Donna Gould
and Steve Runnels. The OLLI Warblers.
And, of course, our champion fundraiser: Susan Rust and her
birding friends.
The Falcons beat the their competitors again last year: 144
species. The Old Coots were second with 138. The 2009
Birdathon was in May and several wintering species had
already flown the coop. The record set earlier by the Falcons:
152 species in one day. But you don’t need to beat the record
to have a great deal of fun and see some wonderful Oregon
birds.
This year’s April date should give us a chance to see more
species than last year.
