A Publication ofPomona Valley Audubon Societywww.pomonavalleyaudubon.orgWINTER 2019-20 DECEMBER - FEBRUARYTaking It To The Streets (and the Garden and the Trail)By Tina StonerPVAS is committed to public outreach and sharing ourpassion for birds, conservation and nature educationwith the communities we serve. October is a very busymonth for public outreach for us thanks to Meet theBirds on the Thompson Creek Trail, Things That GoBump in the Night at the Rancho Santa Ana BotanicGarden and Village Venture in the Claremont Village.The morning of Saturday, October 5th found Sethand Suzanne Thompson and a team of volunteersalong the Thompson Creek Trail. Armed withloaner binoculars, spotting scopes, field guides andenthusiasm, their mission was to engage trail usersand invite them to meet the birds they share the trailwith but that often go unnoticed. By encouragingthem to use our trail-side signage at the Dan GuthrieBird Oasis, visitors learned they could stop byanytime, watch the feeders and use the photo-guideto identify the birds they were seeing.Each year, the second weekend in October takesus to the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden for twoevenings of Things That Go Bump in the Night which helpsfamilies learn “Whooo comes out when the sun goes down?”The event unravels the myths and mysteries surrounding thecreatures that come out at night, including insects, reptiles andcarnivorous and night blooming plants and features live wolvesand owls. The owls, of course, are brought by Bob Everett fromWild Wings of California and are handled by a different teamof PVAS volunteers each night. With nearly 700 attendees onFriday and a sell-out crowd of 800 on Saturday we had a captiveaudience that was there to learn. This creates a wonderfulopportunity to teach the childrenand their parents about thenatural history of the owls aswell as the respective missionsof Wild Wings and PVAS.The fourth Saturday of Octoberfound us at the 38th AnnualVillage Venture Arts and CraftsFaire where our booth wason First Street in the businessand organizations section.Suzanne Thompson helps two young Over 20,000 people attendfuture birders use loaner binoculars Village Venture each year andto see more when they stopped bysometimes it seemed like theyto Meet The Birds.were all in front of our booth asFriday and Saturday nightvolunteers at “Bump” pose infront of the combined PVASWild Wings of CA booth. Thelive owls are a highlight forthe nearly 1,500 visitors whoattended this year.(Left) Bob Everett, founder of Wild Wings of California, keepsBruce the Great-horned Owl on the shady side of our VillageVenture booth while showing him to a fascinated visitor. Formany people, this is the first time they have seen an owl upclose and it can be a very moving experience.we again shared the amazing education birds from Wild Wingswith the public. As with “Bump” the stars of the show were Odiethe Western Screech Owl, Honey the Barn Owl and Bruce theGreat-horned Owl. 21 volunteers worked the booth that dayhandling the birds and educating the public about the dangers ofrat poison, how to reduce bird collisions with windows and muchmore. They sold Burrowing Owl T-shirts, pocket guides to thebirds of So. Cal. and our lapel pins. School teachers stopped byto pick up owl pellets for their young students to dissect in class.Our next public outreach event is the Family Bird Festival atthe Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden on Sunday, February16, 2020 from 10 am to 3 pm. PVAS sponsors this celebrationof our feathered friends and we are always looking for new andinnovative ways to present information through our exhibits. Ifyou have any ideas, have a background in education, or mightbe handy with tools and can help build a display, please contactTina Stoner at tinastoner@earthlink.net.Is all this volunteer effort to Take It To The Streets worthwhile?It’s difficult to measure the impact these events have on thepeople we meet or the success of our organization, but there isample anecdotal evidence that we are remembered. There issomething very special about a child saying, “I remember youfrom last year,” and when asked, can tell me the definitions ofnocturnal, diurnal and crepuscular, even if their parents can’t.

President’s MessageA Legacy ofVolunteerismby Tina StonerThe unexpected death of DanGuthrie last July has causedme to realize many things but as I talked to people who knewhim longer than I, read emails from fellow chapter leaders andreviewed old issues of the Chaparral Naturalist newsletters,my overwhelming thought was, “Wow, he did so much. Hevolunteered for everything.”Studies show that volunteers live longer than those who don’t,and that volunteering provides a greater sense of purpose. Withthat in mind, I’d like to acknowledge some PVAS members forfinding their special purpose within our chapter.Kathy McPherson has volunteered to be our new Owl PelletProgram Coordinator. One of the many things Dan did quietly onhis own was collect, process and distribute owl pellets to schoolteachers so their students could dissect them in the classroom.As a retired teacher herself, Kathy is especially aware of how thishands-on experience can inspire a serious interest in owls, natureand science in so many children.The Eyes and Ears on Burrowing Owls program relies onvolunteers for a variety of functions.Kim Dillbeck and April Chertkow are committee members whomonitor the owls at the Chaffey College Chino campus. Theyare both high school teachers who have ignited their students’interest in the owls. Their students have built burrow boxes andvolunteered to help remove invasive plants at the College ParkBUOW Preserve. For several years now, Alan Davis has monitoredthe owls on the campus’ south end as well as owls at the Preserve.Carol Coy is a committee member who is working on outreach tothe Ontario Airport to encourage them to preserve some of theirland for BUOW habitat. Sid Silliman is also a BUOW committeemember and advocates for preservation of habitat for owls andother animals. Monitoring the owls at the Ontario airport are JennyAntoniak and John and Linda Baker. Extra kudos to John Baker foragreeing to be a field trip leader and for doing a wonderful job. Welook forward to more Friday mornings with John.Laura Jaoui has graciously volunteered to join the board ofdirectors as our Education Chair. We are so thankful for the help.If you enjoy creating educational materials, or talking to peopleabout our passion for birds and nature, please contact Laura.Sheila Bolka is our new Facebook co-administrator and she hasbeen doing a wonderful job posting field trip pictures, helpful hints,current events and more. Her beautiful photography and cleverdialogue help keep our Facebook page fresh and active.This is by no means a comprehensive list of all our volunteers butmight give you an idea of the variety of opportunities. I challengeeach of you to find your special purpose within our chapter.Available positions on the board are Field Trip and Programchairs. The Chaparral Naturalist needs writers, proofreaders,an editor and help with distribution. Not sure how you can helpcontinue Dan’s legacy of volunteerism? Contact me(tinastoner@earthlink.net,) I’m sure we can find your niche.Field Trip BasicsPomona Valley Audubon Field Trips are offered at no cost(unless otherwise specified) and are open to all.

MeetingsChaparral Naturalistwww.pomonavalleyaudubon.orgThursday, December 5, 2019Dr. Lance Benner – Introduction to Recording Bird SoundsBirds produce an incredible variety of sounds that can be remarkably intricate, hauntingly beautiful,and most of which are crucial for their survival. This talk will make extensive use of recordings andsonograms; discuss why recording bird vocalizations is important; and provide suggestions for howto get started making recordings with cell phones, cameras, and dedicated sound recorders; how touse external microphones; fundamentals of sound editing software; and how to upload recordings toeBird.org and XenoCanto.org online databases. Lance has been recording bird sounds since 2009. Hisrecordings have been used in research papers, books, educational nature programs, smartphone apps,and for development of sound recognition software. As a Planetary Scientist at NASA’s Jet PropulsionLaboratory, Dr. Benner attends asteroid conferences around the world enjoying wildlife and birds alongthe way.Thursday, January 9, 2020 (*Please note - second Thursday, not first, due to the Holiday week)Jennifer Boyce - Seabirds and their Habitat Restoration on the Channel IslandsThe Channel Islands are vital habitat for seabirds. They are impacted by factors including predation,habitat disturbance, and invasive species. Jennifer Boyce, a restoration ecologist with National Oceanicand Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), will present a program that focuses on the importance ofrestoration and how it protects rare and endangered seabird habitat in sensitive and unique naturalareas on the California Channel Islands in the hopes of restoring seabird numbers towards their historicnumbers prior to DDT and PCB contamination. One of her primary goals is to educate others aboutthe value of native habitat and how to protect it. Jennifer Boyce has been the Program Manager of theMontrose Settlement Program for over 20 years. She is an expert in seabird ecology and restoration.Thursday, February 6, 2020Dr. Elise Ferree – Black PhoebesIt is not uncommon for birds to coordinate their parenting efforts using vocalizations near the nest. Malesand females of a given species usually use the same, simple calls to communicate about things liketheir location or the presence of nearby predators. Dr. Ferree was intrigued when several years agoshe noticed male black phoebes (Sayornis nigricans) making a previously un-documented, sex-specificcall when approaching their nests with food for the young. Elise will describe how she and her studentsused behavioral observations, video-recordings, playback experiments and sound analysis software tounderstand the function and structure of this call. Dr. Ferree teaches at the Claremont College’s W. M.Keck Science Department with special research interests in animal behavior and behavioral ecology.Bird WalksFirst Sunday Family Friendly Bird WalkFourth Sunday Nature WalkRancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden1500 N.

From 50 Years Ago – A Brief Glimpse of our HistoryBy Tina StonerPVAS became incorporated as a nonprofit organization on March 24, 1970and we thought it might be fun to lookat what was going on in the ChaparralNaturalist 50 years ago. In those days itwas called a Bulletin not a Newsletter andwas a single typed page with no photosor graphics. There were “Regular MonthlyMeetings” in the Seaver Laboratory onthe Pomona College Campus wherethe lectures were typically illustratedwith Kodachrome slides, plant or animalmaterials and other media. Additionally, amonthly Audubon Wildlife Film was shownat the La Verne College Auditorium.Here’s a sample of announcements fromthe Fall of 1969 and the Winter of 1970.“On November 14th our Societycontributed 150.00 to NatureConservancy to help acquire 80 acres ofBig Morongo Oasis, a lush green havenfor birds and desert mammals in the29 Palms area. A stream of water thatflows through this area will be lost for theuse of these birds and desert animals ifNature Conservancy does not acquire theproperty.” (11-24-69 Vol. XI, No 3.)“Report on field trip to Rolling RidgeRanch, Chino, Dec. 13th. Fourteenmembers and friends were countedon this outing. We are indebted toJames Neller, Manager of the Ranch,for the privilege of another visit there.We walked the trail around the lake,somewhat shortened this time, as work isin progress to make a mobile home tracton some portion of the ranch. We did notlearn to what extent it would interfere withthe lake as a sanctuary for water fowl.Thirty-four species were counted.” (1221-69 Vol. XI, No. 4.)Dr. Cogswell at the above address.” (223-70 Vol. XI, No. 6)“While you bird at the Rancho SantaAna Botanic Garden, ask at the officefor a bird survey form and enter on it thebirds you see while there. Return theform to the office. The Garden wishes tobring their bird list up to date and wouldappreciate your help.” (1-26-70 Vol. XI,No. 5.)So, did you know that PVAS was partof creating the Big Morongo Preserve?That 150.00 in 1969 would be valuedat 1,050.00 today, a sizeable donation.While Rolling Ridge Ranch is still beingdeveloped in Chino Hills, it’s nice toknow that the Big Morongo Preserve washelped along by our chapter 50 yearsago.“Dr. HowardCogswell, Dept. ofBiological Science,California StateCollege, Hayward,California, 94542, hasasked for us to watchfor California gullswith tags of brightcolored plastic ontheir backs or wingsand or any that havea prominent amountof red, yellow, green,blue or violet dyeon the white or lightbrown parts of theirplumage. Reportsto Dr. Cogswell ofany tagged bird arevaluable informationfor the betterunderstanding of theseason and extent ofthe gulls’ movement.Include date andplace of observation,your name andaddress in your reporton observation of anysuch marked gulls to2019 Christmas Bird CountSaturday, December 14, 2019 is thedate for the 120th annual Christmas BirdCount. For Pomona Valley Audubon, it willbe our 47th count, having held our firstone in 1972. Since the Christmas BirdCount began over a century ago, it hasrelied on the dedication and commitmentof volunteer citizen scientists. In otherwords, it depends on you!The Christmas Bird Count season goesfrom December 14 through January 5each year. Each local count is held onone day during that period and PVAS hastraditionally chosen the second Saturdayin December. Counts take place in “CountCircles” which are 15 miles in diameterand do not change from year to year. ThePVAS circle has its center approximatelyat the intersection of Mills Avenue and Mt.Baldy Road in northern Claremont.Anyone can help with the Christmas BirdCount; counters do not have to be masterbirders. If you are a novice birder, you willbe able to join a group that includes atleast one experienced birder. The moreeyes and ears we have in the field, themore birds we find. Another option is tobird from home (if it is within the countcircle) or walk in a park or neighborhoodwithin the circle.If you have never been on a CBCbefore, your first step is to contact SethThompson to find out how you canvolunteer.
