Madrone Audubon heartily congratulates President-elect Sylvan Eidelman on being named a 2004 Audubon Bay Champion.

Sylvan, Madrone Audubon's Vice-President for the past two years, received the award in San Francisco on March 24 at Audubon-California's Annual Awards Luncheon, sponsored by the Lucy and John James Audubon Society. He was one of 12 recipients selected as 2004 Audubon Champions-conservationists who have made significant contributions to restoring the San Francisco Bay estuary ecosystem.

Sylvan was chosen for his leadership on behalf of the Petaluma wetlands park project. As described by Mike Sellors, Director of Audubon's San Francisco Bay Restoration Program: "Sylvan's bold conservation vision, effective community organizing, compelling advocacy, and collaborative approach helped to make this conservation opportunity an exciting reality. We honor him for the considerable skill with which he advanced the wetlands park project, and just as importantly, we honor him for his tireless personal dedication to restoring the Bay ecosystem in his community."

Environmental issues became of increasing interest and importance to Sylvan in the early 1990's, so much so that in 1992 he made a complete career change. After working as a master stonemason for 20 years, he went back to school and studied water quality at Sonoma State University, earning a Masters Degree in Public Administration.

Since steering this new career course, Sylvan's professional focus has been water quality. He works as a waste water treatment operator with the Sonoma County Water Agency, where his duties heavily involve him in water and wetlands protection activities that directly impact the quality of water in San Francisco Bay.

In 1999, Sylvan, along with other Bay Area Audubon chapter members, became actively engaged in the long-term effort to restore the wetlands of the Bay-to make San Francisco Bay Restoration an Audubon, as well as a national, priority.

He and his Audubon and Petaluma Wetlands Alliance colleagues have been instrumental in securing a vitally important land acquisition that will result in the creation of an innovative polishing wetlands adjacent to the Petaluma River. The City of Petaluma will use constructed wetlands to cleanse water from the city's wastewater treatment plant adjacent to Shollenberger Park. This PWA initiative bolsters efforts to protect and restore the Petaluma River, San Francisco Bay, and critical wildlife habitat.

Sylvan was the recipient of Madrone's 2003 Bowen Award and he will become our chapter president at this month's annual dinner meeting on May 17. We salute Sylvan for formulating the mission-and inspiring so many others-to focus on restoring San Francisco Bay.

Do you enjoy identifying birds by their songs but wish you could improve your listening and "songing" skills? Do you ever wonder why birds sing and how they learn their repertoires?

The answers to these questions and many others will be addressed in this colorful one-hour slide show presented by Daniel Edelstein, M.S., a biologist and birder since 1981. Beginning with a basic understanding of the ecology of bird songs and calls, the program proceeds to introduce the different kinds and patterns of bird vocalizations-songs, calls, sub-song, whisper song, repertoires, mimicry-and the reasons researchers believe they are used.

Daniel Edelstein is a biologist with Impact Sciences, Inc., an Oakland, California, environmental consulting firm for which he conducts wildlife and birding surveys. He has led bird walks and taught natural history classes since 1981 and has presented his bird-related programs and birding seminars to adults in more than 20 states. Daniel is also a volunteer bird-bander for the USGS's Breeding Bird Survey. He has published one nature-related book and numerous articles.

NOTE: The program will begin at 7:30, following a potluck dinner and the installation of Madrone's officers for the coming year. Please bring a dish to share (entree, salad or dessert), along with your own plate and utensils. We will provide drinks-sorry, no alcoholic beverages allowed at the church. Help to set up before the dinner (or to clean up afterwards), is much appreciated. Please call Virginia McDonagh at 527-9115 if you can lend a hand.

Celebrating PWA's Success…

A public ceremony was held on Earth Day, April 22, at Shollenberger Park celebrating the final purchase of the Gray's Ranch property by the city of Petaluma, completed on Feb 27. The 270-acre site will contain the new wastewater treatment plant plus 45 acres of polishing wetlands and the tidal wetland we see from Shollenberger park. Construction of trails, parking and a small interpretive area for the public should start in about a year.

And Planning for the Future:

The Shollenberger docents are planning to start a regular bird monitoring program at Shollenberger Park and Alman Marsh. The data is for our own use, and for use by Audubon-California in their "State of the SF Bay Estuary" program.

Our plan is to have a weekly morning walk through the area with a group of several good birders and recorders. We would do this on a continuing basis to establish what species and approximate numbers are using the area. We are seeking the help of three or four first-rate birders from Audubon to join our group to maximize the quality and consistency of the observations. The project will start in September, 2004. The final plans are still being discussed. If you are interested in bringing your birding expertise to this project call Bob Dyer, 763-2934, or Gerald Moore, 763-3577.

The Annual Meeting of Madrone Audubon Society is always a highlight of the year. In addition to a smashingly good potluck, and a special program (this year Daniel Edelstein speaking on bird song), new officers are installed, the accomplishments of the past year are recognized, and the recipients of our two major awards are announced.

The Bewick's Wren and the Evalyn and Les Bowen Awards for long-term service, outstanding contributions and exceptional service are much coveted by all of Madrone's members, and honoring the winners is a big part of this joyous evening.

Most of us know about the Bewick's Wren, the symbol of Madrone Audubon. (For those who aren't familiar with this perky little bird, please refer to page 385 of David Sibley's The Sibley Guide to Birds.) But not many members and friends will remember the Bowens, founders in 1967 of the Madrone Chapter of the National Audubon Society. At the time Madrone was the only Audubon chapter north to the Oregon border. Awareness of the need for environmental consciousness and activism was just taking hold in some parts of the nation. And Evalyn and Les took it upon themselves to start the education of Northern Californians in the importance of saving our planet.

Evalyn was a dynamo, who took every opportunity to publicize her intentions. She frequently contacted Press Democrat local columnist Gaye Lebaron on topics that were environmentally sensitive. Gaye gave Evalyn good press and referred to the fledgling Madrone Audubon frequently. As soon as interested people called Evalyn, she would sign them up as prospective members. Then she immediately put them to work on whatever needed to be done to get the chapter started.

About this time Deyea Harper overheard a conversation about the prospective new chapter in Santa Rosa at a National Audubon meeting in Sacramento. She asked for more information. Back in Santa Rosa the next week, even before Deyea could call Evalyn, Evalyn called Deyea to make an appointment for a get-acquainted visit. Imagine Deyea's surprise when she answered the door with her 9-month-old son on her hip, only to see Evalyn standing there, impeccably dressed with hat, white gloves. They were instant friends. As Deyea puts it, "She had the list of names and I had the typewriter. That's all there was to it."

The always perfectly coiffed and manicured Evalyn worked tirelessly to get the new chapter going. She was elected as the first president in 1967. She continued to greet each new member personally as long as she was able, and for years answered the Madrone phone in her home.

So where was her husband Les during all of this? He was working in the background, using his plain spoken, witty and unassuming manner to charm new members and do whatever needed to be done. The Madrone Leaves newsletter, bearing the Bewick's Wren logo that he designed, was mimeographed by him each month through the 1970's. Later, his extraordinary handyman skills were used to build or fix whatever needed building or fixing, especially at the Rabbit Hill Sanctuary in Middletown that was gifted to Madrone shortly after its inception. At times Les, who could have been called Grandpa Moses, found time to use his artistic bent to make charming woodcarvings of various bird figures for his friends.

All this time Evalyn and Les were ardent birders, faithfully feeding birds in their backyard, and attending all field trips as well as visiting Bodega Bay each weekend.

Their front yard was a riot of golden California poppies each spring. They were always surrounded by a multitude of Audubon friends, and their accomplishments were well recognized and appreciated by all who knew them.

Both died in the early '80s. In their will there was a bequest to Madrone Audubon for an award to be given to an outstanding and deserving member each year at the Annual Meeting. Thus, the Evalyn and Les Bowen Award was created.

It soon became obvious that there were so many exceptional candidates that another award would be warranted. The Bewick's Wren Award was created and now stands beside the Bowen Award to honor our most devoted members.

Who will be so honored in 2004?

Bodega Bay, Thursday, March 18
On a sunny and warm summer day (in winter!) 25 birders and leader George Batchelder identified 79 bird species. We watched a Great Horned Owl glide out of the eucalyptus trees just north of Owl Canyon to grab and swallow a small rodent, then we turned our scopes 180 degrees to see three Osprey, two of which were perched on poles in the bay having very fresh sushi! But of course it was lunch time, and our band of birders soon joined in over at the Westside Park...but no sushi. Other sightings included a pair of Red-throated Loons and a Brown Pelican, all in colorful breeding plumage.

Point Reyes, Wednesday, March 24
On a nearly perfect spring day, leader Tom McCuller and a group of eighteen birders sighted 77 bird species on a bird walk at Point Reyes. Highlights included Common Yellowthroat, Virginia Rails, and a Swamp Sparrow at Olema Marsh. Brilliant wildflowers along the trail to Chimney Rock added to a fun outing.

Shollenberger Park, Thursday, April 1On a bright but windy April first, Andy LaCasse led 18 fervent birders around Shollenberger Park. Sixty-two species were identified, including a Eurasian Wigeon and one Snow Goose. There were ducks-a-plenty with a lot of Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shovelers, Gadwall, Ruddy Ducks, Greater Scaup, Cinnamon Teal and Northern Pintail. The levee walk at the park often allows one to get very close to many of the birds-in this case within a few feet of Blue-winged Teal and Northern Pintail. Also spotted was a female Cowbird that appeared to be up to no good.

Bodega Bay, Saturday, April 10Only two birders joined co-leaders Jean Tonascia and Betty Groce on a cold and foggy outing at Bodega Bay. Visibility was almost non-existent all day but we persevered and managed to see 53 species. The best birds of the day were over a dozen Surfbirds in breeding plumage on the rocks below Bodega Head. Other birds of interest were several Eared Grebes and Common Loons going into breeding plumage and a Virginia Rail that called to us at the rail ponds. Being Easter weekend, the area swarmed with people plus dogs on the beach which precluded seeing many shorebirds.

Audubon Canyon Ranch is open! The nesting birds have returned to the trees at the Bolinas Lagoon Preserve, and will be showing off their seasonal plumage, beautiful eggs, and newborn chicks to visitors on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 10 AM to 4 PM through July 11. To date nine Great Blue Heron nests, 56 Great Egret nests and one brave Snowy Egret nest have been established (though the Snowys make enough noise to make their presence felt!). Bring friends and family to visit early and often, and make sure not to miss Marin Audubon's annual Mother's Day picnic on Sunday, May 9, which benefits Marin Audubon and ACR's programs.

Spring is also the season when ACR thanks the friends whose contributions make our programs possible. Friends of the Bouverie Preserve are invited to a recognition luncheon on Saturday, May 1, to show our appreciation for their $500 annual contribution to the Bouverie Preserve. All donors who support ACR at a level of $250 and above are invited to the Donor Appreciation Picnic at the Cypress Grove Preserve on Saturday, June 26. And we welcome those who have remembered ACR in their wills to join us at the Clerin Zumwalt Circle luncheon on Saturday, June 12, at the Bolinas Lagoon Preserve. Please call (415) 868-9244 to make a gift or receive more information.

Mark your calendars, because docent training time is just around the corner! If you would like to expand your natural history education and learn how to interpret the wonders of nature to visiting schoolchildren, then sign up for training this September. Orientation meetings are on Wednesday, May 26, and Wednesday, August 25.

And don't forget to call the Bouverie Preserve at 938-4554 to sign up for the Guided Nature Walk lottery. The wildflowers are out in force, and the "goose cam" monitoring the Canadian Goose that nests annually at the top of David Bouverie's bell tower is up and running.

Cassie Gruenstein is Director of Development and Communications at Audubon Canyon Ranch.

Saturday, May 15, 9:30 AM to Noon
Mayacamas Mountains Audubon Sanctuary

Leader Peter Leveque is a revered local naturalist, retired professor of biology from SRJC, world traveler and dedicated grandfather. He will lead a short hike (more exploring, less walking) for kids at Audubon's wildlife preserve in the Mayacamas Mountains west of Healdsburg. Expect pollywogs, newts, snakes, lizards, wildflowers, birds and bugs, and maybe the signs of some large mammals. It may be hot, so bring water, hats and sunscreen as well as a picnic lunch.

Reservations are required. Please call Lana at 869-2892 to reserve your spot.

As our team captains continue to send along reports and checks from their sponsors, the excitement mounts regarding this year's Birdathon results.

All nine teams have entered final species counts and the Number One Team, again this year, is the Grey-headed Searsuckers, led by Betty Burridge, with a species total of 140. After perusing this year's tally sheets, it can safely be assumed that future teams will find at least one of the following members of Sonoma County's bird community: Brewer's Blackbird, Western Bluebird, Bushtit, Double-crested Cormorant, Common Goldeneye, Canada Goose (this is no surprise!), Dark-eyed Junco, American Kestrel, Pied-billed Grebe, Black Phoebe, Turkey Vulture, Yellow-rumped Warbler or Acorn Woodpecker, as these species appeared on just about every team list.

Interestingly, a fair number of birds somewhat common to our county appeared on only one team's list: American Bittern, Brown-headed Cowbird (Yippee!), Brown Creeper, Short-billed Dowitcher, Ross' Goose, Snow Goose, Red-necked Grebe, Green Heron (seen only by the Pee Wee Team!), Allen's Hummingbird, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Pacific Loon, Hooded Merganser, White Pelican, Black-bellied Plover, Semipalmated Plover, Red-breasted Sapsucker, Loggerhead Shrike, Pine Siskin, Common Snipe (apparently, not so common, huh?), Sora, Tree Swallow, Violet-green Swallow, Western Tanager, Green-winged Teal, Forster's Tern, California Thrasher, Eurasian Wigeon and Hairy Woodpecker. Three owls (Barn, Great Horned and Northern Pygmy) were a "one list only" sighting, perhaps due to the somewhat inconvenient hours that these creatures keep?

If you've never sponsored a team, you may not be aware of the tremendous amount of work many of the team captains put into their pre- and post- correspondence with donors-some of the letters are pure works of art, some are charming prose and delightful stories, while others are just fun to read. And finally, some are examples of high-level organization skills…I must admit that these are sentimental favorites of the Birdathon Coordinator! If you are considering being a team captain next year-and I hope you are-copies are kept on file by the Coordinator and available to help you jump-start a reporting and collecting system with a style of your own.

As of mid-April, we have passed the $5,000 mark-a final total will be published in the next edition of the newsletter. The Roadrunner Team of Betty Groce and Jean Tonascia are leading the contribution collection to date with a total of $2,253. A listing of all sponsors will appear in this or future Madrone Leaves.

Again, our appreciation to all our hard-working teams and generous supporters. This effort allows Madrone Audubon to provide fine educational programs in the community and to participate in our area's conservation efforts. Remember, this is our chapter's biggest fundraising event of the year. If you have made a pledge, we thank you and hope you will be back next year for Birdathon 2005.

Sonoma County has a rare window of opportunity to protect its remaining forests.

The Planning Commission will soon be deliberating the fate of the 194,000 acres of conifer forest left in the county. Currently these forests, which provide water, air, timber and wildlife habitat, can be clear-cut, ripped and permanently converted to row crops.

The proposal known as Option 3 will prevent conversion from forests to vineyards. The General Plan Citizen's Advisory Committee has already recommended Option 3, but it now must pass the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors to be included in the General Plan which will govern land use for the next 20 years. To find out more go to <www.redwood.sierraclub.org> and click on "Sonoma".

To express your views about protecting these forests, write, call or e-mail the Planning Commission and ask them to recommend Option 3 to the Board of Supervisors. Send your message to the Planning Commission, 2550 Ventura Avenue, Santa Rosa, Ca. 95403. Direct e-mail to maddybook@sonoma-county.org.
