A little over a year ago, the state’s fiscal woes landed wildlife biologist Dr. Jay Shepherd in one of the Washington Depart-ment’s of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) arguably most challenging positions. As assistant district biologist for the Colville office, Jay is responsible for the management of two of the three known Washington wolf packs. Jay is a canine lover, which may explain why he’s long had an interest in wolf recovery and management.
At our March meeting, Jay will share his experiences, insights, and the WDFW management plans about gray wolves in his presentation entitled Wolves of Northeastern Washington. Of all non-game species, wolves seem to evoke the most dramatic emotional and community responses, which color the work of a wildlife biologist who must deal with these ecologically important keystone predators. Jay’s program is sure to be informative and interesting.
Jay is a native of Walla Walla where, as a boy, he worked on his grandfather’s wheat farm. His rural experiences gave him a deep appreciation of the outdoors and some practical knowledge that serves him well when his vehicle gets stuck or has a flat tire while monitoring wildlife on lonely back roads in the Selkirk Mountains. In addition to wolves, this southern reach of the boreal forest finds Jay tracking breeding loons and following up on reports of grizzly bears, Canadian lynx, and mountain caribou.
Jay received his BS and PhD in wildlife biology from the University of Idaho and completed a master’s degree at the Univer-sity of Montana. His doctoral dissertation was a landscape analysis of sage grouse breeding and brooding in southeastern Idaho. He has worked for the states of Idaho and Montana, the US Forest Service in Idaho and Oregon, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service in Alaska. Some of his responsibilities have included surveying Flammulated Owls and Northern Goshawks and measuring habitat in Central Idaho. He joined the WDFW in 2007 to oversee Bald Eagle management, a position that was unfortunately eliminated by budget cuts. Jay’s broad background in managing and protecting threatened and endangered spe-cies is ideal for his current work with gray wolves.

Continuing with the theme of gratitude in 2011, I’m thinking this month about why am I grate-ful to be the “Pres” of the Spokane Audubon Society.
Let me count some of the ways:
1) Fascinating programs such as Dr. Joey Haydock’s Cooperation and Conflict in the Bird World: The Acorn Woodpecker. March’s program by Dr. Jay Shepherd, Wolves of Northeastern Washington, looks like it will be another one...
2) Another year’s worth of unbelievably good field trips led by our own expert birders...
3) Dedicated members who provide education to school children, and dedicate themselves to working with local organizations like Turnbull Wildlife Refuge...
4) The National Audubon Society and the great job that Zach did to make the Great Backyard Bird Count an excel-lent experience for young and old citizen-scientists alike...
I hope to see you at a program or maybe the Tundra Swan Festival on the 19th!

By the time you read this, Bluebirds will be returning. Think Spring!
The following sightings are from Spokane County unless otherwise stated.
Bill Siems found ten Trumpeter Swans at Turnbull Jan 22. Open water was limited but swans seem to know where to look. Jon Isacoff found eight at Philleo Lake Feb 15. He said it looked like a family so might have been Solo.
On Feb 3, Sandy Rancourt observed 100 Tundra Swans flying over Cheney. At that time still water was quite frozen.
Over 100 Canvasbacks were on Sprague Lake (Lincoln Co) on Feb 17.
An early Ruddy Duck was spotted on Sprague Lake (Lin-coln Co) Feb 17 (CC, JC).
A Dusky (Blue) Grouse was seen from the ski area of Mt. Spokane on Jan 31 by Lindell Haggin.
An “out of season” Eared Grebe was on Sprague Lake (Lincoln Co) on Feb 17 (CC, JC).
On Feb 12, a Gyrfalcon was seen near Wilbur (Lincoln Co) by Russ Koppendrayer, for the only report this winter.
On Feb 13, a Prairie Falcon was near Sprague Lake (Lin-coln Co), reported by Jon Isacoff.
Two early Killdeer were north of Sprague (Lincoln Co) on Feb 17.
On a Feb 7 owling venture, Terry Little heard two Western Screech-Owls north of Spokane.
As of Jan 27, there were three Snowy Owls seen southeast of Davenport (Lincoln Co). It would be very interesting to know where this latest owl came from and why they con-centrate in that location. Somebody mentioned that it is the highest elevation locally, but it all looks the same to me.
A Saw-Whet Owl was calling the night of Jan 26 at the Dexter home north of Spokane. He says some return from the south by that date. A few also winter locally.
On Feb 14, I noted a flock of eight American Robins near Turnbull. I know they are regular in winter in towns, but when they appear in the woods, they are likely migrants.
Two American Tree Sparrows were at Sprague Lake (Adams Co) Feb 13, per Jon Isacoff. He also found four at Philleo Lake Feb 15.
Bill Siems reported hundreds of Bohemian Waxwings at Turnbull Jan 22. Jon Isacoff found over 200 at Slavin Ranch
on Jan 30. I thought it interesting that these were away from the mountain ash trees in urban areas. Last month I com-mented that Bohemian numbers appeared to be low. Soon afterwards I received lots of reports. Maybe they were late arriving, but probably just better reporting was the rea-son. (Hmm… this month I’ve not seen many Hawfinch reports… Let the sightings roll in!)
On Feb 8, Terry Little found a Pine Grosbeak along Hol-comb Road in the foothills of Mt. Spokane. This is the only lower elevation report I’ve heard of this winter.
Twelve Evening Grosbeaks were in north Spokane (Colbert) Jan 25, per Jeanne Dammarell. On Feb 6, 11 were north of Chattaroy (Jan Beaven & Dan Finn). It’s probably not the same flock, but it’s possible.
Rare Bird of the Month
Terry Little’s low-elevation Pine Grosbeak is probably the rarest report this month. Congratulations Terry!
Please report your sightings! Contact me, Craig, at [email protected].

We wandered in one by one, a hungry and raggedy, but spirited group having just finished another Spokane Christmas Bird Count. The Golden Corral offered warmth, tasty food and a place to chat about our day in the field. Birders can be a noisy group when gathered to talk about their favorite topic so it was a good thing we had a room to ourselves.
It seemed to nearly everyone that it had been an unusual count day. For some it was the paucity of waterfowl, or raptors or song-birds. But all of us felt that the number of individual birds was way down from other years and it seemed too that the number of species was down. After compiling the data though it turns out the sense of the group was only partly right. We collectively saw 80 species on this cold but calm day and this figure is about average, at least for the last decade or two. But the number of individual birds was indeed down by about 25% from the average number of the last decade. The waterways were eerily quiet and duck numbers were way down. But there were exceptions to this as Redheads and Ring-neck numbers were respectable. Among game birds, Wild Turkeys continue to multiply, while quail were oddly harder to spot and pheasant continue their decline as habitat is lost to development. Kim Thorburn’s group had an astonishing 29 Bald Eagles and a whopping 71 were seen by all teams. This is more than twice the total number of Bald Eagles seen on any previous Spokane count. Other than Bald Eagles, our
raptor numbers were down but not as much as it seemed at the end of the count day. The only owl species spotted was the Great Horned Owl, and only six of these at that. We certainly could have used Ron Dexter and Michael Woodruff’s help with owls! Among songbirds we had 15 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, nearly 800 Bohemi-an Waxwings, about 650 Red Crossbills and nearly 450 American Goldfinches. It’s always a treat to have these colorful birds join us for winter and better still to have them in such numbers.

Spokane Christmas Bird Count: January 2, 2011
by Lindell Haggin
Kim Thorburn and I taught bird watching classes to Middle School students at the Balde* Eagle Festival at Grand Coulee. This event was organized by the National park Service, and the 2011 festival was designed to be an educational experience for students from local schools.
We decided to take our chances with the weather and held the three sessions outdoors. All of them went reasonable well, except that the bay where the ducks were suppose to be was entirely frozen over!
Fortunately, we had pictures of birds the kids could view through binoculars. We also worked with the students to look up birds up in field guides. Over the course of the day, we ended up working with about 150 students. I’m sure the experience inspired some budding birders.
* Why “Balde”? According to the event web site, when the newly formed government of the United States of America chose the Bald Eagle as the National Bird in the late 1700’s, “bald” was spelled with an “e” at the end. (Photos courtesy of Lindell Haggin.)

Jon is something unusual in the active membership of our local club in that he
isn’t retired and lacks visible gray hair. This doesn’t mean that he isn’t learned or that he isn’t doing wonderful things for this organization.
Apart from birding, Jon teaches at Gon-zaga University, where he is the Chair of Environmental Studies and an Associate Professor of Political Science.
Jon is from the Eastern US, and when he ar-rived here he dove in with enthusiasm and passion to learn the birds in this area. He wasn’t content to see and learn the birds by sight and song, though. He started county
listing and record keeping; he is currently keeping records for Lincoln County.
Current listing led to old and rare records, and after learning that Jim Acton kept very accurate Eastern Washington records for perhaps 50 years, Jon managed to get a copy of all of Jim’s records and compile a wonderful database. In the process, he made sure the birds were in the right classification of rarity, (class 1 through 5). Over the years, a few rare birds have become more common, but more often common birds are becoming less common. In his travels, Jon has found a few new birding locations in our area.
Jon is also a liaison for Spokane Audubon with the Dishman Hills Alliance and keeps us well informed. He is up to date on all the local environmental issues and has composed many well written, compre-hensive, and thoughtful letters covering Audubon’s stand on these issues.
Add to Jon’s list of accomplishments his photography; take a look at February’s bird in the Spokane Audubon calendar, the Golden-crowned Kinglet, as an example. You can also check out Jon’s Flickr photo site. (It’s at www.flickr.com/photos/isacoff/ ~ ed.)
One of the most obvious things Jon does for Spokane Audubon is put together the field trip schedule. This is no mean feat, and Jon does a terrific job. He hosted leaders and interested parties at his home this winter at a potluck, where dates, times
and leaders were set. He then wrote many descriptions of the trips, lists of what birds might be expected, and suggestions for participants on length and difficulty. You can find the schedule in the January Pygmy Owl, and on Spokane Audubon’s web site.
(By the way, everyone is welcome on these trips. Leaders request participants call ahead in case there has to be a change as these trips are set a year in advance.)
I highly recommend Jon’s June trip to Iller Creek/ Dishman Hill Alliance area. He has led several field trips in the past, but this one is really outstanding for the number of species. It is a terrific way to learn birds, songs, and study those tough empidonax flycatchers.
Of course, unless you are a student at Gonzaga, or have attended one of Jon’s field trips, you may never have had the pleasure of meeting him. Jon spends every free minute birding (I’m not sure where he finds the time!), but he posts his findings and photos on inland-NW-birders for any like-minded birders to see and appreciate. While his days may be spent teaching or birding, Jon saves his evenings for family time with his wife and beautiful daughters.
Despite not being present at most Spokane Audubon meetings, Jon is a valued cog who helps to keep our wheels turning. He is making very big footprints, indeed. Next time you enjoy one of Spokane Audubon’s field trips make sure you thank Jon.

Christmas Bird Count, cont.
On most counts there are some surprises and we had some dandy sightings on this cold day. Jim Acton’s yard is a magnet for birds and he reported a Golden-crowned Sparrow on count day and again two days later. This sparrow has only been seen on one other Spokane CBC way back in 1977, likely seen by Jim then too! Meanwhile Dennis Dalhke’s team spotted a Harlequin Duck on the Spokane River and Dennis even managed to snap a photo of the bird from a good distance and through the early morning fog. The last time a Harlequin was found on count day was 20 years ago. Mike Fulton got another Eurasian Collared-Dove, only the second time the bird has been seen on the count, also by Mike. The Eurasian Collared-Dove is being seen more often around here throughout the year so be on the lookout for it when you see a flock of Mourning Doves, or when you are at a place likely to have Rock Pigeons because you might spot one.
A Yellow-rumped Warbler is probably the most likely warbler to be seen on the Spokane count. At least the Audubon’s race is. But Alan McCoy’s team had an extended viewing of the Audubon’s
eastern counterpart, the Yellow-rumped “Myrtle” warbler down near Glover Field in Peaceful Valley. One other sighting by Mike Britton’s team up in the Mead area was a flock of sparrows. The viewing time was only a few seconds, but the birds were fairly close. After much thought and consultation they concluded the birds were Chipping Sparrows. Chippers are common summer breeders here in Spokane but they winter way down south in Texas, Mexico and Florida. It’s a very rare sighting for Spokane and even Mike in his rare bird report expressed doubts about this conclusion. It may be one of those sightings that simply can’t be confirmed one way or the other. Sometimes it goes that way when you are out in the field.
This year 62 of us were out in the cold counting birds while 13 were counting feeder birds in the comfort of their home. No mat-ter, the goal is to count and enjoy our feathered friends where ever we choose to do it. Thanks to everyone who was able to participate this year. See you next year. Mark your calendars – January 2, 2012!

Spokane Audubon Society’s board of directors is excited about the opportunity to continue our partnership with the Audubon Washington Birding Trail Program. As the Great
Washington Birding Trail moves toward completion, the program is transitioning from map-making to using the maps as tools for conservation. The program’s first conservation project, a tribal partnership to manage grasslands for bird conservation, involves sites on our Palouse to Pines Loop.
Grasslands are a threatened ecosystem in Washington State. One need look no further than the addition of the meadowlark to Audubon’s watch list to understand that over-grazing, fragmenta-tion, and cropland conversion have deteriorated this habitat for resident birds and other wildlife. It is an ecosystem where farming practices can make the difference for species sustainability.
In 2010, Spokane and Yakima Audubon Societies joined with Audubon Washington and the Kalispel Tribe and Yakama Nation in a five-year effort to monitor grassland bird species to better understand the effect of farming practices on the health of bird
populations. These grasslands are two Birding Trail sites within Important Bird Areas. The Native communities are committed to managing their grasslands to sustain vulnerable bird populations. The Yakamas have drafted a grassland management plan to ensure nest and brood survival.
The icon for the project is the Bobolink. This charismatic mem-ber of the blackbird family is struggling to survive on its range perimeter, which includes the Yakama and Kalispel Reservations. Spokane Audubon members assist with weekly point counts of Bobolink and other grassland birds on Kalispel lands in Usk from late May to mid-July.
There is great value in this citizen opportunity. The first year of the project has already resulted in a written management plan to en-hance bird survival. Over the next four years, we hope to be able to demonstrate the impact of implementing management changes. If you’re interested in counting Bobolinks, one day or several, con-tact Kim Thorburn at 509-465-3025 or [email protected].
