Saturday, July 19
Washoe Lake
Time: 7:00 a.m.
Leader: Steve Ting, 775.849.3725,
scting@charter.net (preferred)
The several ponds and marshy areas near
Washoe Lake are good spots to find many
of the local duck species as well as
many shore birds (American Avocet,
Black-necked Stilt, Snipe, Western and
Least Sandpiper).Wading birds such
as Great and Snowy Egret, Great Blue
Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron,
and White-faced Ibis also frequent
the area. Other possible species are
American White Pelican, Forster’s Tern
and Western, Clark’s, and Eared Grebe.
Come enjoy a few hours of birding with
Steve, who not only birds these areas
regularly but also photographs the many
birds he finds. Please be prompt. It can
get very hot at this time of year and there
is very little shade in the area. Meet in
the parking lot for the observation tower
at the south end of Washoe Lake. From
US 395 take the East Lake Blvd Exit
42, head East approximately two miles,
and turn into Washoe Lake State Park
parking area. Make sure you take the East
Lake Exit at the south end of the lake.
Bring drinking water, sunscreen, hat,
binoculars, and spotting scopes for those
that have them. There is a limit of 30
participants, so please reserve your space
with Steve.
Saturday, August 2
Spooner Lake Park
Time: 7:30 a.m.
Leader: Nancy Santos, 775.884.1570,
nancylas@att.net
Join us for an easy morning walk around
Spooner Lake Park. We will search the
shoreline for Spotted Sandpiper, Osprey,
and area waterfowl. Forest, sagebrush,
and riparian habitat is also found along
the perimeter of the lake and will offer us
the opportunity to search for such species
as Western Tanager, White-headed
Woodpecker, Green-tailed Towhee, and
Warbling Vireo, just to name a few. More
common species we can expect to see are
Steller’s Jay, Mountain Chickadee, Hairy
Woodpecker, Western Wood-Pewee, and
Yellow-rumped Warbler. Please contact
Nancy for further information and to
reserve your spot. There is a state park
entrance fee per vehicle, so car-pooling
is recommended.

Damonte Ranch Wetlands
Leader: Kathy Oakes
The great weather that we ordered
brought out a lot of birders—29 people
showed up for a half-day visit to the
Damonte Ranch wetlands! We had
shirtsleeve weather as early as 8:00
a.m. and no wind. We saw a total of
40 species. Highlights of the trip were
great views of an American Bittern
and a Wilson’s Snipe, as well as very
cooperative Marsh Wrens, who stayed
visible at the top of cattails singing,
allowing everyone a close look. Usually
these little guys stay hidden or just pop
up for a maddening few seconds. Maybe
the wrens were appreciating the sunshine
as much as the birders. Following is a
list of species observed: Eared Grebe,
American Bittern, Canada Goose,
Gadwall, American Widgeon, Mallard,
Cinnamon Teal, Green-winged Teal,
Northern Shoveler, Northern Pintail,
Bufflehead, Common Merganser, Ruddy
Duck, Northern Harrier, Red-tailed
Hawk, Turkey Vulture, California Quail,
American Coot, Killdeer, Black-necked
Stilt, American Avocet, Willet, Wilson’s
Snipe, Ring-billed Gull, California Gull,
Mourning Dove, Say’s Phoebe, Barn
Swallow, Cliff Swallow, Marsh Wren,
European Starling, Savannah Sparrow,
Song Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow,
Red-winged Blackbird, Brewer’s
Blackbird, Yellow-headed Blackbird,
Brown-headed Cowbird, House Finch,
House Sparrow.
McCarran Ranch
Leader: Elizabeth Ammon
We had a couple of great trips to
McCarran Ranch, approximately 10 miles
east of Sparks, on Saturday May 17 and
Sunday May 18. Participants in the

IMPORTANT BIRD AREAS PROGRAM
Robin Powell 775-247-2798 rpowell@audubon.org
Nevada’s Globally Important
Bird Areas
The IBAs are sites that have
been recognized by the scientific
community that provide the
unique habitat for avian species
of conservation concern,
possess a large congregation of
birds, provide educational and
research opportunities, and/or are
landscapes that certain species are
tied to (e.g., Greater Sage-Grouse
and sagebrush ecosystems).
Currently, there are 39 IBAs
throughout Nevada. Though these
sites have been recognized as
“important” to birds, some IBAs
have also been cited as important
on a continental or global scale.
The National Important Bird
Areas classification system (state
vs. continental vs. global) is a
way to identify the significance
of a site for the prioritization of
conservation efforts. The state-
recognized IBAs are prioritized
by a United States Technical
Advisory Team (USTAC) which
is comprised of scientists who
are experts in ornithology and/or
conservation science. Recently,
the USTAC recognized four
of Nevada’s IBAs as “globally
significant IBAs.” The global
recognition was due to the
presence of significant Greater
Sage-Grouse populations within
the species range, the presence of
various habitat requirements of the
Greater Sage-Grouse life cycle,
and the provision of habitat that
The Pelican 3
is specifically associated with the
various obligate bird species such
as Greater Sage-Grouse, Sage
Thrasher, and Sage Sparrow. The
following is a brief synopsis of the
four Nevada IBAs that have been
given the global IBA status:
Bilk Creek-Montana Mountains
Located near the Nevada-Oregon
border, this IBA supports the
largest Greater Sage-Grouse
population in Nevada and one of
the highest in the western United
States. There are various threats to
this high-quality sagebrush-steppe
ecosystem, such as
fire, conversion to annual
invasive grasses, and ungulate
grazing mismanagement.
High Rock Resource Area
This IBA is located in northern
Washoe County and is
predominantly public lands.
The High Rock Resource Area
possesses three of the most
significant Greater Sage-Grouse
populations in the state. The site is
also significant in the abundance
of cliff-nesters found throughout
the High Rock Canyon. The few
threats, such as overgrazing
and invasive plants, are minimal
in this IBA.
Sheldon National Wildlife
Refuge
The Sheldon National Wildlife
Refuge (NWR) is located in the
northernmost portion of Washoe
County along the Nevada-Oregon
border and possesses one of the
most intact desert sagebrush-shrub
habitats in the Great Basin. Since
the cessation of cattle grazing
from the NWR, the landscape has
greatly rebounded; however, there
is still the conservation
issue of excessive horse herd
sizes, which can negatively
impact habitat quality.
Wellington-Pine Grove Hills
Located near the Nevada-
California border, south of
Minden and Gardnerville, this
IBA supports the Nevada portion
of the Mono Basin population of
Greater Sage-Grouse which is
genetically distinct from the other
Greater Sage-Grouse populations
found throughout the region.
Development is one of the largest
threats within this IBA.

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S PERCH
Elections Reflections
As of July 1 you find that I am
your President for another year.
Though this is a bit crazy, as I
have commented to colleagues on
the Board and our Committees,
I am honored and do this gladly.
Our May Chapter elections
also yielded these results: Alan
Gubanich, Vice President; Jane
Burnham, Treasurer; and Bonnie
Wagner, Recording Secretary.
Board Trustees (to 2011) elected
were Dave Straley, Seat #1; Gene
Hansel, Seat #2; and Kathy Oakes,
Seat #4. We and the currently
sitting Trustees will do our best to
live up to your expectations for us
and for the organization.
At the National Audubon level,
nine of the 36 members of the
Board of NAS are nominated
through a regional election
process. The member representing
the Northwest Region, of which
we are a part, is up for election.
At the May Board meeting, our
LAS Board cast the two votes
allotted to a chapter of our size
for the sole nominee, Marina
Skumanich, current President
of Seattle Audubon and a
self-employed environmental
policy consultant. The name of
the regional candidate will be
included on the slate of candidates
for the NAS Board submitted to
the membership at the next NAS
Annual Meeting of Members.
Part of my very serious
considerations in running for
President again was a strong
resolve to shift and reassign
various activities and duties
in both the President and the
4 The Pelican
Communications Chair positions,
and a number of those are in
process, due to the initiative and
great reliability of colleagues on
the Board and Committees. As
an example, this year’s Summer
Planning Retreat will be organized
and facilitated by Gene Hansel
and will shift more to overarching
topics, more of an attempt at some
true strategic planning as well as
specific plans for our various areas
of responsibilities.
An early review of comments
included in your responses to our
Membership Survey, coordinated
by Kenn Rohrs, has led me to try
to use this space more consistently
as an outreach to you, our nearly
1,000 member households, to
apprise you of our activities and
efforts. Much of the overall efforts
of the Board and Committees on
behalf of the Chapter is captured
in our Annual Reports; however,
this forum may provide you with
some more timely LAS “news”
items.
In any given month or two, many
projects and activities come to the
attention of the LAS President,
and they really engender an
enthusiasm about our organization.
So, I hope to share that better with
you. The format that may result in
something of a high-end “gossip
column” about some of the things
going on. We’ll see how it goes.
In the words of Dave Straley,
our former Treasurer, new Seat #1
Trustee, and our financial advisor,
“Now, let’s get on with another
great year.”

CONSERVATION CORNER
Hawken Fire Tree Planting Day
Approximately 110 people
including six Audubon volunteers
spent a beautiful Saturday
morning on April 26th planting
200 Ponderosa Pine seedlings,
100 Jeffrey Pine seedlings, 25
bitterbrush, 25 currant bushes, and
30 chokecherry along Alum Creek
in the Caughlin Ranch area. This
riparian area was badly burned
in the Hawken Fire last summer
and we wanted to contribute to
the effort of restoring the habitat
for birds and other wildlife.
LAS applied for and received a
grant from National Audubon
for $625 to purchase the trees.
We also donated $1000 from our
Conservation Fund to put toward
additional vegetation efforts. In
just a few hours we got all the
plants in the ground and, as we
were finishing up, drip irrigation
purchased by the Homeowner’s
Association was being installed.
It is hoped the irrigation and rains
we’ve had this May will translate
into success over the next few
years. Despite the poor habitat
conditions, we did manage to see
quite a few birds using many of the
trees that survived the fire: Downy
Woodpecker, chickadees, and even
a hummingbird, to name just a few.
Thanks go out to LAS members,
Jane Burnham, Linda Badzioch,
Judy Bowen, and Janet and
Bob Butler for participating
in this event.
Mine Claim Marker Update
Many of you may recall biologist
Pete Bradley giving a presentation
a year or so ago on hollow mine
claim markers and the threats to
birds and other wildlife. Back in
The Pelican 5
1993, LAS, along with the Sierra
Club, worked with the Nevada
Mining Association (NMA) to
address this problem, and together
we were able to get language
changed in the Nevada Revised
Statutes requiring all mine claim
monuments be capped and without
perforations. Unfortunately, over
the years we’ve come to realize
that, although this seemed to be a
solution at the time, our dry, hot
climate caused most caps to crack
and pop off, once again posing a
threat to birds and other wildlife.
Last November, LAS, along
with Red Rock Audubon Society
based in southern Nevada, crafted
a letter to the NMA requesting
its help in facilitating an effort
to find a permanent solution to
this issue. We are grateful to the
NMA, which did not hesitate in
responding and quickly reached out
to state agencies and stakeholder
organizations to seek buy-in to
resolve this issue. Collectively, we
feel as though the best permanent
solution is to seek changes to
the NRS to redefine a valid
legal monument as being a solid
structure. We are also proposing
language allowing for the removal
of any invalid monument one year
after adoption of the new language.
On June 6th, we were able to
present our proposal for changes
to NRS 517.030 at the Public
Lands Committee meeting in
Elko. Bob Goodman, former LAS
Conservation Chair, spoke on
behalf of both chapters of Audubon
requesting the committee use its
Bill Draft Request capabilities
to help eliminate this threat to
wildlife. In support of the proposed
changes, Director of Nevada
Department of Wildlife Ken Mayer
and NDOW Wildlife Diversity
Division Chief Laura Richards
accompanied Bob at the hearing.
Bob’s presentation and Q & A
session were very well received.
The committee’s decision on
drafting this legislation will be
rendered after its final meeting in
August. This, of course, is the first
in a series of steps we’ll be taking
to address this issue and we’ll
continue to keep you posted
on our progress.

LAS has received an unrestricted
bequest of $10,074 from Robert
Butler, who named LAS as
beneficiary to an IRA. As far as we
know, Mr. Butler was not a member
of LAS. He was an avid sportsman.
He frequently visited Wild Birds
Unlimited, owned and operated by
LAS Board member Jacque Lowery.
We can only speculate that Jacque’s
love of birding may have contributed
to Mr. Butler’s thinking of LAS. We
are very grateful for this generous
bequest.
 Birds in Town
by Alan Wallace

If birds were like the rest of us, they would have looked at the soaring gas prices and decided that they just couldn’t
justify heading north this year, choosing some local marsh or woodland to go through their spring and summer rituals. But
the costs of air currents and en route bug meals haven’t gone up from years past, and northern Nevada towns undoubtedly
saw more avian than human visitors from far-flung places. Lakes captured the interests of abundant and varied waterfowl,
ranging from the regular Cinnamon Teal, Eared Grebes, and Buffleheads to the less-common Red-breasted Mergansers and
Blue-winged Teal. Overhead, Franklin’s and Bonaparte’s Gulls and Forster’s and Caspian Terns, along with a few Ospreys,
cut the spring air, joined by swarms of swallows and the occasional swift. The shorelines provided ample room for breeding
White-faced Ibises, American Avocets, formally attired Black-necked Stilts, and Western, Least, and Spotted Sandpipers,
and migrant Semipalmated and Black-bellied Plovers and Dunlins. One marsh bird – an American Bittern – decided to try
something completely different this year by spending a week in Sue Herrera’s Winnemucca back yard.
Like humans on vacation, many birds prefer to head for the woods when they leave home, and in-town trees,
shrubs, and woodlands were filled with new arrivals starting in late April. The most obvious of these were the colorful
and vocal Black-headed Grosbeaks, Yellow Warblers, Western Tanagers, and Bullock’s Orioles. These were joined by
a bevy of other warblers (Orange-crowned, Wilson’s, MacGillivray’s, and Common Yellowthroat), flycatchers (Gray,
Western Kingbird, and typically late-arriving Western Wood-Pewee), and melodic Warbling Vireos. Tonopah hosted errant
migrating Black-and-White Warbler and Northern Waterthrush (saying water and Tonopah in the same phrase sounds
like a contradiction). On the harder-to-find side of the migration, a variety of sparrows darted through the underbrush,
including Chipping, Lincoln’s, Savananah, Lark, and Fox Sparrows and Green-tailed Towhees. Like humans, a few birds
chose to come into town from the desert, including a small flock of Brewer’s Sparrows that found a just-like-home habitat
in the sage and pines surrounding the Reno REI store. Buntings made a nice showing this spring, with relatively common
Lazuli Buntings sharing the spotlight with a Painted Bunting in Spring Creek and an Indigo Bunting in Tonopah. The first
hummingbird was an early-April Costa’s, followed shortly by Calliope, Anna’s, and, finally, the breeding Black-chinned
Hummingbirds. In downtown Reno, Cliff Swallows, which nest under the Truckee River bridges, swirled around the
kayakers during the annual River Fest. An Eastern Kingbird and Bobolink briefly visited tiny Montello, which is tucked
away in far northeastern Nevada. The most unusual sighting was a long-tailed bird, spotted by Jonathan Heywood in his
south Reno yard, that resembled a Fork-tailed Flycatcher, which is native to South America.
For most birds, May is the time of courtship through egg laying, but some species start a little early. Canada Geese
seemed to produce a prodigious number of goslings this spring (four clutches at once at Manzanita Lake at the University of
Nevada), and fuzzy Great Horned Owls were venturing from their Reno nests in early May. Young Black-crowned Night-
Herons joined adults along shorelines. Fledged but scruffy Steller’s Jays were demanding food and attention from adults
in late May, and Bewick’s Wrens were carrying food to their nests at about the same time. As usual, House Finches and
Mourning Doves made early practice attempts at nesting in April, gearing up for the real thing in May.
Despite the song-filled air and birth of downy little birds, it’s not a totally harmonious world out there in Bambi-
land. The Red-tailed Hawks and Great Horned Owls breed early so that they and their fledged young can feast on the bounty
provided by more late-hatching birds. Northern Harriers took advantage of the abundant migrant waterfowl at Swan Lake,
essentially catching and drowning their floating prey in the shallow water. Western Scrub-Jays commonly rob passerine
nests of eggs and hatchlings, and Nevada birders reported them killing adult birds, some as large as Mourning Doves. And if
fellow members of the avian world weren’t a threat, Mother Nature stepped in this spring. In Spanish Springs, avocets that
nested early near marshy shorelines were rudely treated to rising water and flooded nests, although history has it that they
just rebreed and build new nests at sites that hopefully are above the future water line (avocets aren’t in danger of extinction,
so it must work).
Northern Nevada birders reported 178 species during April and May. Sources of information included Brian Adams,
Elisabeth Ammon, John Anderson, Mary Anderson, Judy Bowen, Richard Brune, Wendy Broadhead, Melody Craig, Alan de
Queiroz, Jim Eidel, Mary Jo Elpers, Cynthia Goddard, Bob Goodman, Alan Gubanich, Kirk Hardie, Sue Herrera, Jonathan

Pontius, Lois & Mark Ports, Melissa Renfro & John Free, Sarah Russell, Greg Scyphers, Dennis Serdehely, Jean Sherman,

Sumac St., Reno, NV 89509 or wallacealan@sbcglobal.net, or post sightings on the Nevada bird listserv. Good birding!
