Madrone Audubon was doubly honored at the Sonoma County Environmental Dinner on Saturday, March 31, when two MAS past presidents received very special awards for their dedication to environmental causes.

George Ellman was given the Ernestine I. Smith Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Environmentalist of the Year Award went to Diane Hichwa.

These honors come as no surprise to the Audubon Board members and others of our chapter who have known these two individuals over the years, but we are very proud to have their achievements recognized in the wider community. The Environmental Dinner is co-hosted by the Sonoma County Conservation Council and the Sierra Club.

George Ellman was president of Madrone Audubon in 1989-90, and subsequently served two consecutive terms on the National Audubon Society Board, from 1990 to 1996. A research biochemist at UCSF for 33 years, he has had an equally long and distinguished career in public service, particularly in conservation and transportation issues in Marin and Sonoma Counties. He founded the Sonoma Trails Committee, helped create the Sonoma County Conservation Council and the Sonoma County Transportation Coalition, and is presently studying transportation issues for the League of Women Voters. George and his wife Phyllis live in Glen Ellen and are active birders and volunteers with Madrone Audubon.

His award itself has an Audubon connection, being named for its first recipient, longtime MAS Board member and tireless worker for local environmental causes, Ernie Smith. Properly known as the Ernestine I. Smith Perpetual Award for Lifetime Devotion to Environmental Protection, it carries, appropriately enough, a responsibility. The recipient is expected to investigate environmental teaching is his district during the coming year and choose a teacher who is doing outstanding work in this field. The teacher will be recognized at the end of the year and will receive a cash award to help his or her school further their program.

Diane Hichwa received the Environmentalist of the Year Award for her outstanding work in environmental education for all ages. Madrone Audubon's President from 1992 to 1994, she is currently co-chair of Madrone Audubon's Conservation Committee and a member of the Mayacamas Sanctuary Committee.

She has worked tirelessly to advance conservation issues in our community: with grape growers; with the City of Santa Rosa planning a wildlife component in the "Place to Play" project; and again with the City to insure the protection and restoration of our Mayacamas Sanctuary during the Geysers pipeline construction.

Since moving to Sonoma County from Michigan 13 years ago with her husband, current MAS President Bryant Hichwa, Diane has also been a docent at the Bouverie Preserve in Glen Ellen and a mainstay with the Santa Rosa Bird Rescue Center. She specializes in techniques for rescuing raptors, and speaks to adult and children's groups about native wild birds, using birds from the Rescue Center to illustrate her talks. As an expert on owls, she is particularly pleased to have an Great Horned Owl nesting "project" going on in her own back yard, with two nestlings visible at present.

The promising concept of wetland mitigation banks in Sonoma County is a subject currently under review by Madrone Audubon's Conservation Committee.

Such conservation banking is necessary because of state and federal laws, like the California Environmental Quality Act and the Federal Clean Water Act, requiring mitigation of projects that destroy or degrade natural wetlands. Mitigation means that for the area adversely impacted, a developer is required by law to set aside or restore an equivalent or greater amount of acres of similar resource value to compensate for the loss. Both government agencies and businesses are establishing "banks" of such legally protected sites to sell to developers.

Conservation Committee members Diane Hichwa, Scott Barrows, Sylvan Eidelman, and I recently visited several wetland mitigation banks, mainly clustered on the Santa Rosa plain. The tour, conducted by Carolyn Dixon of the City of Santa Rosa, allowed us to see a broad range of sites of varying quality and viability.

On a few sites, we observed the typical regional flora of the Santa Rosa plain, with some rare plant species such as Sonoma sunshine growing in vernal pools. These features suggest a successful wetland mitigation bank worthy of its purpose. Broadmoor, Alton Lane, and the Gobbi site near Todd Road are some good examples. At other sites, invasive native and non-native plants pose a problem, and some ponds are so deep they prevent vernal pool species from gaining a foothold.

The Army Corps of Engineers qualifies parcels for mitigation bank status. It also determines how many "credits" a builder has to buy in order to offset the impact of a project. The credits are purchased from the individual or agency that owns the mitigation bank. The bank could be a publicly owned preserve such as the 174-acre Cramer property at West Third and Occidental Road in Santa Rosa, managed by the California Department of Fish and Game and the Sonoma County Open Space District. Or it could be a privately owned natural wetland such as the 12-acre Broadmoor property set aside by The Tuxhorn Company.
Since 1998, some individuals in Sonoma County have begun creating wetlands of their own as a line of work, selling the credits to developers. Joe Keith of Cobblestone Homes created a three-acre parcel of seasonal wetlands north of Sonoma County Airport. He is qualified to sell ten credits per acre.

Mitigation bank policy is still evolving at the state level, and there is a lot to be done to fulfill the purpose for which this idea was intended. At this time, no one tracks mitigation banks. However, the Department of Fish and Game is required to inventory the state's mitigation banks within a year. There is no method in place locally to prevent the fragmentation of habitat that can result from project-by-project mitigation. The state has no set of standards for mitigation banks, although the California Resources Agency does say that mitigation bank parcels should be part of a larger conservation strategy in a local community and not just a free market opportunity to further the needs of developers.

In Sonoma County, we should be attentive to how our wetland mitigation bank properties are being managed and whether they truly preserve or restore the wetland habitat that is unique to our part of the world.

For more information on mitigation banking, consult the California Resources Agency website.

May is a month when all life is in movement. It's a-buzzing, blooming, twittering, nesting, feeding, and the earth seems to exhale sweet fragrances; our senses are overwhelmed with its music and motion.

In light of all that is happening, we humans need to be aware of some cautions to take to protect birds. For instance, if you have a cat, you might consider keeping your pet indoors in the early morning and evening hours. This is when birds are feeding and introducing their hapless nestlings to the wonders of the earth. The fledglings are trustingly leaping (sometimes falling) from nests and exploring their new terrain. Cats are often aware and awaiting. Last year, my darling pussycat brought me several new birds and it broke my heart. Belatedly, I learned to close off his cat door at dawn and at dusk. It was incomprehensible to my spoiled brat; however, one bell or several clanging from his collar did not do the trick, so I had no choice. Research by many experts shows that bells on cats seldom work.

If you do any spring pruning, look carefully for tiny hummingbird and other nests perched on the branch you want to eliminate and wait until you know the babies have flown before you cut. I have Violet-green Swallows in boxes just under the rain gutters. I was planning on having new gutters installed this spring, but now realize I have to wait until all the babes have flown their coops.

Another issue arises around babies learning about the world; plate glass windows. Startled and fleeing birds often crash headfirst into windows, which reflect the sky and trees. I have hung red/silver Mylar strips to flutter in the wind all over my huge plate glass windows. It looks like a psychedelic "pad", but it really works. I use non-stick masking tape, which adheres to the glass without leaving residue.

Want to convert your yard to one that is friendly and supportive to native wildlife and plants? Read Sara Stein's truly wonderful book, Noah's Garden: Restoring the Ecology of Our Own Back Yards. She has recently published a follow-up to this, Planting Noah's Garden, which really gets to the "nuts and bolts" of how to do it. Sara Stein gives great insight into the process that she went through to make it all function. These books are motivational, inspiring, and fun too

.

SCAPOSD General Director Andrea Mackenzie will make an illustrated presentation to share her vision for the Open Space District, focussing particularly on the area of the Mayacamas Mountain Audubon Sanctuary and its surrounding properties. Questions for discussion are most welcome.

Andrea Mackenzie came to the Open Space District in 1996 and was the Senior Planner/Project Manager for the District's new Acquisition Plan 2000 before becoming General Manager in September of 2000. A Park Planner with the East Bay Regional Park District in Oakland before moving to Sonoma County, she has 15 years' experience in Conservation and Environmental Planning.

The program will follow the dinner and a short business meeting to install our officers for the coming year. Come to the First United Methodist Church, 1551 Montgomery Drive, Santa Rosa, at 6:00 for the dinner or at 7:30 for the program only;

All Madrone Audubon members and friends are invited to attend. Please bring a potluck dish for six (entrée, salad or dessert), along with your own dishes and utensils. The Chapter will provide beverages (sorry, no alcoholic beverages at the church).

Help would be appreciated for setting up and cleaning up. If you can volunteer to help set up at 5:00, please call Virginia McDonagh at 527-9115.

The Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center is a proposed victim of the Bush budget axe. To get more information and to find out how you can help save this important program, see the "Action Alert" on our webpage.

Bodega Bay, Thursday, March 22
On a very pleasant day, twenty birders joined leader Jean Tonascia at Bodega Bay. A total of 82 species were observed. Highlights included six species of grebes, several Black Oystercatchers at the Head, and a Rough-legged Hawk flying over.

Shollenberger Park, Wednesday, March 28
Twenty-five birders joined Lew Edmondson for a stroll around Shollenberger Park on a warm spring day, finding 49 species. After lunch at Lucchesi Park, some continued north to Crane Creek Regional Park, adding nine more species. Shollenberger provided some highlights, including a Yellow-headed Blackbird, a Virginia Rail, a Eurasian Wigeon and a nesting Mute Swan. Ruddy Ducks are very colorful now in their breeding plumage.

Point Reyes, Sunday, April 1
On a breezy spring day, 19 birders led by Lew Edmondson visited Point Reyes Earthquake Trail, Olema Marsh, Whitehouse Pool, Drake's Beach and the fish dock, finding 77 species. A highlight was finding several Pigeon Guillemots near the fish dock pier. When the breezes turned to cold winds strong enough to topple a scope (and the Doggie Diner sign in San Francisco), the intrepid birders beat a hasty retreat to their cars and headed for home.

Bodega Bay, Thursday, April 12
Just another good birding day at Bodega Bay... Seventeen birders, joining leader Richard Hurley on a sunny and somewhat windy day, identified sixty-five species. The tide was out, but along the edge of the channel were Black-bellied Plovers, actually showing their black bellies. Breeding Pelagic Cormorants were hugging the rocks at Bodega Head. It was a treat to see the Common Loons and the Eared Grebes in their breeding dress. The Brant geese are still evident on the bay, but are flying in flocks overhead, anticipating the move north. Spring is in the air at Bodega Bay.

Extraordinary circumstances led our Bolinas Lagoon Preserve Biologist, Greg de Nevers, to write the following message on April 7th to all our ACR friends:

"On Monday, April 2, a Golden Eagle visited the heron and egret colony in Picher Canyon at Audubon Canyon Ranch. The eagle killed and ate one adult Great Egret. All the other egrets abandoned the colony and went to the lagoon. The Great Blue Herons in the trees closer to the lagoon lay low in their nests. After the eagle ate the egret, it left. At that point the resident pair of Common Ravens, who are territorial in Picher Canyon, entered the up-canyon trees and ate or cached all of the eggs (about 20). Since it is common for nesting herons and egrets to become extremely skittish in response to predator disturbances, ACR closed Picher Canyon to the school program for the week. Happily, the egrets returned Monday afternoon, and by Tuesday, they were displaying, courting, laying eggs and incubating again.

On Friday evening, April 6, the eagle returned. This time all the herons and egrets abandoned the colony and flew to the lagoon. A few herons returned after the eagle left, but no egrets had returned by dark. This time the ravens were not in the vicinity and didn't take any eggs. By the following morning, the herons and egrets were back in the trees, but needless to say, they were very disturbed and skittish."

This 2001 story of the Golden Eagle and Common Raven predation was written on April 7 and will, of course, be ongoing. We encourage you to call ahead to the ACR office at (415) 868-9244 before you visit the Bolinas Lagoon Preserve this spring, and we look forward to a busy and fruitful nesting season. In the meantime, please hold a good thought for the herons and egrets.

Research at Cypress Grove Preserve
Our annual San Francisco Bay Heron and Egret Project (HEP!) provides a necessary and accurate look at regional patterns and trends of Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, and Black-Crowned Night Herons throughout 5 North Bay counties. The remaining observation periods this year are May 11-13, June 2-4, and June 16-18. To learn more about this important project and to receive a 2001 HEP packet, please contact ACR's Cypress Grove Preserve Research Center at (415) 663-8203.

We invite you and your family to join us at Audubon Canyon Ranch, on Bolinas Lagoon in Marin County, for an incredible look at a breeding colony of egrets and herons. These birds form large colonies high up in redwood trees, so they are usually difficult to see, but we'll hike to a great vantage point where we'll have the rare opportunity to watch the parents tend to their eggs and nestlings. We'll also get to search for and catch red-bellied newts in the lagoon! Audubon Canyon Ranch is a wonderful place to learn about nature with your family.
Please call Amy Kelsey at 473-9785 for directions and to RSVP.

I am very happy to report that this year's Birdathon has been the most successful ever! So far we have raised more than $9400, over $3000 more than last year, and the amount may increase as the final contributions are tallied.

Several teams broke their record from last year for the number of species seen. This is a great testament to their hardiness since, as usual, the weather in February was anything but predictable and dry. Some of the highlights included a Bald Eagle, a Merlin, several Short-eared Owls, Burrowing Owls, Hooded Mergansers, and a Mandarin Duck. Our hats go off to the team with the most species, the Gray-headed Seersuckers, who saw 138 species in over 14 hours of birding.

We would like to thank all of those who participated in the birdathon and, especially, their sponsors. A special thank-you goes to Autodesk Location Services for a generous matching contribution. The teams and a (partial) list of the sponsors for this year's Birdathon are listed below. Your efforts and contributions will go a long way towards helping the Madrone Audubon Society be a voice for conservation and education in Sonoma County.
