South Beach State Park is looking for volunteers to help reclaim the coast’s natural landscape by eradicating Scotch broom. The invasive plant is in bloom from April to June, which is the perfect time to attack it. Each Saturday in May and the ďŹ rst Saturday in June, volunteers will meet at the South Beach day-use parking area to attack the “Broom in Bloomâ€? from 9 am to noon Volunteers will be trained in correct methods for removing scotch broom, given an orientation in aected areas within the park, and be provided with small hand tools and gloves. Participants are encouraged to bring handsaws, loppers, and gloves if they have them. Light snacks and beverages will be provided. This event is provided in part by the Stewardship Division and Natural Resources Department within Oregon State Parks. This is the third year South Beach State Park has provided a “Broom Bustersâ€? event, and the event has expanded from the previous years from a one-day event to six days. “Our goal with this change was to give more exibility for volunteers within the community to be able to come out and participate, as well as provide more awareness about scotch broom,â€? said Park Interpretive Ranger Dani Padilla. “With the help of our visitors, neighbors, and partners, we can take back our native landscape, and enhance our legacy for future community leaders.â€?

Devils Lake in Lincoln City has a reputation as the fastest lake in the world — its low elevation giving engines plenty of oxygen to work with. And, this weekend, a fleet of watercraft racers will be setting out to test that reputation as the Devils Lake Dash returns for its second year. The season-opener for watercraft racers in the Pacific Northwest, the Dash plays a role in deciding who goes on to the nationals in Lake Havasu, Arizona. The contest includes stand-up and sit-down racing and has different classes for
watercraft depending on the amount of modifications they have undergone. There are classes for everyone, from beginners to professionals and from junior to masters. With a membership to the International Jet Sports Boating Association, anyone can join the race. Racing will start at 9 am on Saturday and Sunday, with Regatta Park offering the best view of the action. During a break in the racing action on both days, industry professionals will be giving demonstrations. Active Water Sports will
be demonstrating wave surfing; Jetovator will be demonstrating a watersports accessory that when attached to a personal watercraft uses the water thrust system to take riders high into the air; and Flyboard will be flying on jet-water-powered wake board. All three will be giving lessons for a fee to anyone that wants to learn. There will be a meet and greet on Saturday evening at the Lincoln City Cultural Center starting at 6 pm, where guests will get to mingle with racers, vendors and promoters.
Don’t be a dummy. Sign up now Registration is now open for a Red Cross Lifeguard course that will take place at Lincoln City Community Center from May 23 to 25 and May 30 to 31. Successful completion of the class will lead to Red Cross certification and possible employment opportunities as a lifeguard. Participants must be at least 15 years of age and able pass a swim test prior to enrollment. The test includes a 300-meter swim and diving to the bottom of the deep end to retrieve a brick. The test day and time has yet to be announced. The class costs $100 and is limited to 10 students. For more information contact the

Killer Whales, which range from Vancouver Island to Monterey, California. Hoyt has partnered with The Whale Trail, a non-profit organization that encourages stewardship of whales and other marine life by working to establish a series of land-based orcawatching sites in Puget Sound and the Northwest coast. Thanks to the recent documentary, “Blackfish,” many are now convinced that lives of killer whales in captivity are miserable. But what are their lives like in the wild? To start, Hoyt explained that these animals have a very complex social structure, which has been mapped out over the course of decades using three approaches: photo identification of individuals, acoustic research on orca dialects, and genetic studies of pod and community structure. The totality of this work indicates that orca social structure is multi-layered. The smallest unit
to include offshore areas from Cape Flattery, Washington, to Point Reyes, California. U.S. and Canadian marine parks do not take individuals from the wild any more, but harvest continues: Hoyt estimates that there are well over 100 aquariums and marine parks in China, Japan and Russia exhibiting or waiting to exhibit captive whales. Hoyt literally wrote the book on whale watching (“The Whale Watcher’s Handbook,” published in 1984 and still widely used throughout the industry), and he is thrilled to partner with The Whale Trail. “I’ve always believed in landbased whale watching. It’s more like bird-watching: you don’t invade the whales’ space,” he said. “Anything we can do to relieve the pressure of the number of boats in the water in some places by providing the experience on land is great.” Hoyt’s lecture will be Saturday, May 10, at 6:30 pm at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Tickets are $5, and kids 12 and under are free. Advance tickets can be purchased at brownpapertickets.com (direct link at http://bpt.me/610791). The lecture is sponsored locally by the Oregon chapter of the American Cetacean Society.
‘I’ve always believed in land-based whale watching. It’s more like bird-watching: you don’t invade the whales’ space.’
Podcast ven here on the central Oregon coast, where grey whales and sea lions are our everyday neighbors, we get excited about orcas. On the rare occasions when they’re spotted in our waters, we drop what we’re doing, pick up binoculars and go in search of the distinctive black-and-white backs, tall dorsal fins and sleek black tails. On May 10, an internationallyrenowned orca expert will bring killer whale tales here, no binoculars necessary. Renowned author and conservationist Erich Hoyt, a Research Fellow with the organization Whale and Dolphin Conservation in the UK, will stop in Newport on his nine-city Orca Tour, and give a talk entitled “Adventures with Orcas in the North Pacific — From A1 Stubbs to Iceberg, the White Russian Bull.” Hoyt’s tour parallels the oceanic stomping grounds of the so-called J, K, and L pods of endangered Southern Resident
focused on orcas in Canada. He will also discuss his recent work with Russian scientists and students on Russian orca populations. “It’s been fantastic to see these Russian students discovering what it’s like to get to know individual whales,” he said. “They’ve gone from being great scientists to dedicated conservationists,” particularly when some of the whales they were studying were captured for sale to marine parks in Russia and elsewhere in Asia. Some of Hoyt’s breathtaking photos will include shots of the three white killer whales he has encountered during the Russian work. While orcas are found in every ocean on Earth, and are fairly abundant overall, Hoyt emphasizes that they still face a range of threats, locally and globally. The southern resident population that sometimes plies our waters is officially listed as endangered. Calf mortality rate is high, with some estimates ranging up to nearly 50 percent, perhaps due to the high pollutant loads these animals carry. NOAA Fisheries just announced that it will consider a petition seeking to expand the critical habitat designation for the southern resident killer whales
is a matrilineal group of a mother with her male and young female offspring (breeding females break off to form their own matrilineal groups). Multiple matrilineal groups make up a pod. Multiple pods make up a community, a distinct breeding unit. In other populations, pods can belong to a clan, a unit distinguished by a unique set of vocalizations, like a dialect. “It’s almost like an anthropology of whales,” Hoyt said. Hoyt will present a retrospective of his decades of work with killer whales, from the Pacific Northwest to Russia and beyond. He participated in some of the earliest work on orcas on northern Vancouver Island, including the ultimately successful battle to prevent logs from being boomed for export in Robson Bight, a small estuary that provides critical habitat for killer whales. Hoyt was also instrumental in establishing the first whale-watching businesses

Celebrate independents day At a time when writers have more ways than ever to get their work into print, the publishing ďŹ eld has perhaps never been so complex, with self-publishing, e-books and print-on-demand all now options alongside the traditional publishing house. On Saturday, May 17, the Manzanita Writers’ Series will allow wordsmiths to learn about yet another option — independent presses, many of which accept manuscripts direct from the writer, with no need for an agent. Representatives from three such presses will be on hand at Manzanita’s Homan Center for a panel discussion on how each of their houses manages the various stages of publishing. Laura Stanfill Laura StanďŹ ll is the founder of Forest Avenue Press, which received a 2014 Oregon Literary Fellowship. The press’ ďŹ rst project, bestselling local anthology “Brave on the Page: Oregon Writers on Craft and the Creative Life,â€? was named a Powell’s Books Top Five Pick for 2012, while its ďŹ rst ďŹ ction release, Stevan Allred’s “A SimpliďŹ ed Map of the Real World,â€? topped the annual Powell’s Sta Top 5s lists in 2013. StanďŹ ll will be joined by Rhonda Hughes, publisher at Portland’s Hawthorne Books. Now in its 13th year, Hawthorne has published literary ďŹ ction and nonďŹ ction to consistent critical acclaim and numerous awards, including the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, the Oregon Book Award, Barnes & Noble’s Discover Great New Writer Award, The Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award and the Langum Prize for Historical Fiction. Film options and publishing rights to Hawthorne’s works have been sold worldwide. Rounding out the panel is Meg Storey, an editor with Tin House Books and copy editor of Tin House magazine. Tin House literary magazine was founded Meg Storey in 1999 and, in 2002, the company ventured into the world of book publishing as an imprint with Bloomsbury. In 2005, the independent press Tin House Books was launched. Spearheaded by editorial director Lee Montgomery, the press publishes a dozen titles a year, and its authors have garnered attention from the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal and O, the Oprah magazine. The panel discussion will run from 1 to 3 pm, with admission $25 per person. For registration, go to homanblog.org. That evening at 7 pm, Dan Berne will read from his debut novel “The Gods of Second Chances,â€? which was chosen for publication during Forest Avenue Press’ 2013 open submission period. Admission fee for the evening is $5 and Berne’s reading will be followed by an open mic where local writers will read portions of their work. Rhonda Hughes The Homan Center is located at 594 Laneda Avenue. For more information, go to http://homanblog.org or contact Vera Wildauer at vwildauer@gmail.com.

Fancy some company? The Stray Birds
Strays worth catching
The Lincoln City Cultural Center will host an evening of American folk music on Wednesday, May 14, when The Stray Birds touch down at the coast. The group combines the pure, luxurious voice of Maya de Vitry with Oliver Craven’s richness of tone and depth of delivery — both grounded in the unshakeable groove of bassist Charles Muench. Raised within a few miles of farmland from each other in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, de Vitry and Craven’s flight began with friendship. With miles of music already behind them, the pair first shared a song in January 2010. A snowy Pennsylvania winter welcomed collaboration between the two creative flames — and inspired the collection of seven songs found on their first EP, Borderland. Two years later, Charles Muench, who contributed upright bass to the Borderland EP, climbed on board as the third voice. The trio recorded a full-length album, packed seven instruments into a station wagon, and set out to sing for an endless road of towns. Their full-length debut, The Stray Birds, was lauded by Christian Sedelmyer and Dave radio stations and listeners Goldenberg across the country and named to the Top 10 Folk/Americana Releases of 2012 by NPR. The group’s May 14 concert will see them perform alongside Nashville-based duo Christian Sedelmyer and Dave Goldenberg. In the ever-expanding world of acoustic folk music, it is becoming rare to find two musicians whose earliest influences so closely parallel one another. Sedelmyer and Goldenberg play the 5-string fiddle and mandolin respectively but, drawing from early exposure to retro folk rock and the popular music of the 1990s, their collective imagination has expanded the book on what these instruments can create. The concert will begin at 7 pm in the auditorium of the cultural center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets, $15 in advance and $17 at the door, are available by calling 541-994-9994.
Given the unpredictable weather that makes the Oregon Coast such a vibrant and spontaneous place to live, one has to wonder if it is the ideal tour stop for a performer whose hits include “I Can’t Stand The Rain.” But Paul Rodgers has packed his umbrella along with his guitars and is set to play two nights at Chinook Winds Casino Resort on Friday and Saturday, May 9 and 10. The iconic singer, songwriter and multiinstrumentalist who made his name with Bad Company, Free and The Firm, will be joined by guitarist Howard Leese of Heart, bassist Todd Ronning and Rick Fedyk on drums. Together, they will treat audiences to selections from Rodgers’ extraordinary catalog, including Free’s “All Right Now;” Bad Company’s “Feel Like Making Love” and The Firm’s “Tear Down the Walls” as well as Rodgers’ solo material. Throughout a career that has spanned five decades, Rodgers has written, recorded, produced and released 31 albums and sold more than 90 million records. Bad Company released six multi-platinum albums, spawning several timeless rock chart hits. With Free, Rodgers and the group released four top-five albums. Rodgers went on to form The Firm with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, leading to two top-selling albums and two top-grossing world tours. Rodgers was instrumental in resurrecting Queen and, together over four years, the band released an all-new studio album, live CDs, DVDs and launched two epic world tours. Rodgers’ latest solo record, “The Royal Sessions,” pays homage to the legendary hits on Stax/Volt, Goldwax and Hi Records — recordings by Otis Redding, Albert King and
Ann Peebles — and features many of the musicians who played on the original tracks. Produced by Perry Margouleff, the album, with songs including “I Can’t Stand The Rain” debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart. Rodgers will take to the stage at 8 pm at Chinook Winds Casino Resort on Friday, May 9 and Saturday, May 10. Tickets cost between $35 and $50 and all audience members must be 16 or older to attend. To book tickets, call 1-888-MAIN ACT (1-888-624-6228), drop by the Chinook Winds Box Office, or go to https://tickets. chinookwindscasino.com/Online. Tickets can also be purchased through paulrodgers.com/tour-dates.
Herman takes a bow The Lincoln Community Chorus will present its final concerts of the year in Lincoln City on Friday and Saturday, May 16 and 17, featuring excerpts from “Pirates of Penzance,” “My Fair Lady,” “Phantom of the Opera” and more. The program, called, “Ballads, Songs and Snatches,” will also be Director Dr. Robert Herman’s last performance with the group after eight years in the position.
8 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • may 9, 2014
The playlist will also feature Herman’s own original hero/villain skit, “Stanley Stalwart of the Mounties.” “I’m saving the best for last,” Herman said. To date, no replacement for the post has been found, but applicants are welcome. Anyone interested should contact Chorus President Carol Rohlfing at 541-994-8531. The chorus has been part of the coast’s
cultural scene for more than 20 years, presenting a varied array of concerts, including both secular and sacred selections — musicals, oratorios, operas and popular songs. The May 16 and 17 concerts will start at 7 pm at Chapel by the Sea Presbyterian Church, 2125 SE Lee Street. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door. To learn more, call 541-994-4317.

Find yourself in Newport
By Peter O’Boyle
Discarded objects will be shown in a new and different light at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery starting this weekend, as a new Spotlight Show gets underway. Starting Saturday, May 10, the show presents a series of pieces by Peter O’Boyle, who uses found objects to create art that expresses his environmental and political understanding of life. Through a combination of mixed media,

O’Boyle grew up in New Mexico, living mostly in Albuquerque. He earned a BA, MA and PhD in art education and began his teaching career on the Laguna Acoma Reservation. He has taught at the University of Arizona, Wright State University, Eastern Oregon State and
Cal State Long Beach. He loves traveling and has visited most of the US as well as Europe and Mexico. Now living in Waldport, he has a small gallery-studio adjacent to his home where he teaches small classes in drawing, ceramics, pastels, colored pencil and watercolor. The show will run through May 23 and is available to view daily from 11 am to 4 pm at the gallery, 789 NW Beach Drive on the Nye Beach Turnaround.

Filling the gap
There are people living in Newport who still remember that summer back in the ’70s when Parish Gap came to town. The Corvallis-based classic rock group packed what was then Jake’s nightclub all summer long with crowds eager to dance to hits from groups like KC and the Sunshine Band and Fleetwood Mac. Now, some 40 years later, Parish Gap is gearing up for another long summer on the Oregon Coast, with regular gigs at the Bay Haven Inn from May through September. And while the music might have changed a little, lead guitarist Tom Wright said the town is much as he remembered it. “I think Newport has stayed pretty much the same,” he said, “which is kind of the beauty of Newport.” Wright landed in Newport after dropping out of college at OSU and dedicating himself to life as a musician. He sent word back to his hometown in Illinois for his old high school band mate Bob Rause to come out and join him on the road. Together with drummer Steve Down, they rocked the doors off Jake’s five nights a week — camping at South Beach State Park between gigs. After their Newport summer, the band went on the road, touring back and forth between Oregon and Chicago for many years. “This was back in the days when nightclubs would hire bands five or six nights a week and you could make a living doing it,” Wright said. “I must have played in pretty much every bar from here to Chicago.” But, in the mid- to late-’80s, the demand for bands dried up as clubs decided they were better off only having live music on Friday and Saturday nights. The band members found themselves day jobs and kept on rocking at the weekends. Parish Gap also developed into a family affair, with Wright’s daughter Catherine Ellis coming on board when she turned 16 in order to pay her way through college. Together with fellow female vocalist Heather Moorland, Ellis has helped re-shape the previously all-male lineup “The guys still sing,” Wright said. “But the majority of the lead singing has been passed over to these two ladies.” Parish Gap’s list of cover songs is extensive, running from Elvis Presley to Tom Petty to Lady Gaga and the Dixie Chicks. But each gig draws heavily on the band’s original music, which makes up about 60 percent of the playlist on any given night. One of those originals is “Newport Town,” a tune Wright created during that first summer at the coast after meeting some folks that worked on the fishing boats. “It’s one of our best songs, actually,” he said. “I get to sing that one myself.”

L L E C HARD The
Theatre West presents a truly captivating tale
Y
Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY
ou might be forgiven for thinking a play set entirely inside a federal prison might be a bit of a snooze for the props and costumes department. After all, how many different shades of gray can there be? But “Delval Divas” is no ordinary prison tale and the women at its heart are no normal inmates. The play opens in the brightly decorated cells shared by four quite remarkable women, all of whom have managed to find themselves locked up in Delval, the Delaware Valley Federal Correctional Facility. Together, wayward Wall Street trader Stella Wild, larcenous lawyer Rosemary Adams, dodgy doctor Linda Robertson and crooked computer hacker Beth Ziegler are the Delval Divas — and they are doing the time of their lives. With massages on call, chocolates on the pillow and their pick of the best gourmet restaurants come mealtime, the divas are living high on the hog, with prison guard Lucille eating out of their
hand. But life on the inside gets turned inside out when one of the divas is released and her bunk assigned to Sharon, a new inmate facing charges distinctly messier than tax fraud. Written by Barbara Pease Weber, “Delval Divas” is brought to the Lincoln City stage by Bryan Kirsch, fresh from his recent exertions in “Sin, Sex and the CIA.” When asked what drew him to the play Kirsch has a quick response. “Women in prison, what’s not fun about that?” he said. It seems the acting community shared that view, with 18 actors auditioning to fill the play’s six roles. The play features a raft of Theatre West veterans, with Tracy Blakeman as Stella, Ellen Christian as Linda, Tamara Merry as Beth and Ellen Page as Sharon — with Patti Siberz and Stina SeegerGibson sharing the role of Rosemary. “I really needed some divas,” Kirsch said, “And I got them.” Rounding out the cast is Tami Keller, who stepped up to fill the role of Lucille the prison guard halfway through rehearsals when the original actor had to drop out. Although an experienced director, this is the first time that Kirsch has led an all-female cast. “I will say that perhaps there are special challenges involved in that,” he said, “but I was not afraid to meet those challenges.” Backstage, Ellen Christian is willing to go in to more detail. “He kept suggesting things to us about what women in prison might look like, what they might surround

Players wanted at Theatre West
Theatre West is looking for four men and three women to star in “Murder Is A Game,” a comedy farce by Fred Carmichael. The play tells the story of a successful, married mystery writing team whose creativity has dried up. In order to get their juices flowing again, their publisher books them a weekend in an old mansion filled with actors hired to play out a murder plot. But things get more complicated when a real murder throws a wrench in the works. The play will be directed by Stina Seeger-Gibson, who recently helmed “Nana’s Naughty Knickers” and the world premiere of “The Pearl.”
Auditions will be held Sunday, May 11, and Monday, May 12, at 7 pm at the theatre, located at 3536 Hwy. 101. No previous acting experience is necessary. Rehearsals will begin shortly after auditions and will require a minimum of four nights a week. The play will run from July 10 through August 30, with performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 pm with call at 7 pm. In addition to actors, the director is recruiting several behind-the-scenes volunteers. To get involved, stop by auditions and introduce yourself to the director or leave a message at 541-9945663.

A 24-carrot performance
There are a lot of talented actors in the new show from One of Us Productions in Yachats, but there are many times during each performance when the audience’s attention is focused on spot occupied by no one at all. “Harvey” is the story of the irrepressibly good-natured Elwood P. Dowd and his unseen and presumably imaginary friend — a six-foot-three-inch rabbit. The play opens with Elwood living a content life, hanging around in saloons and introducing Harvey to everyone he meets. But his social climber of a sister, Veta, becomes increasingly embarrassed by his unusual behavior and resolves to have him committed to a sanitarium. After a series of inevitable mix-ups and misunderstandings, Veta is confronted with the question of whether she really wants her brother to change at all. Bob Barber plays the role of Elwood, with Johnni Prince as the high-strung Veta. The cast also includes Akia Woods as Veta’s daughter, Myrtle Mae; Debbie Coxey as Nurse Kelly; Grace Coxey as Mrs. Chumley; John Debriprey as Wilson; Dean Peterson as Judge Omar Gaffney; and Barbara Grundermann as Miss Johnson. The play also sees community theater mainstay Terri Foust return to the stage for the first time in some 20 years, in the role of wealthy socialite Ethel Chauvenet. “Harvey” will be performed at 7:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 pm each Sunday through Sunday, May 11, at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101. N. Tickets, $12 for adults; $8 for kids aged 11 to 18; and $4 for kids aged 10 and under, are available at the door or in advance from Toad Hall and Touchstone Gallery in Yachats; Waldport Video in Waldport and the Newport Performing Arts Center.

Oregon Coast author John H. Baker will give a presentation on the history of the Camp Adair training base on Thursday, May 15, at a venue that has a strong connection to the site.

Indian Fair returns to Newport The culture of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians will be on display in Newport on Saturday, May 10, as tribal members breathe new life into the old tradition of the Indian Fair. The fair, to be held at the National Guard Armory, will see tribal members display baskets, beadwork, regalia, traditional tools and other art forms in a modest recreation of the much larger Siletz Indian Fair, which began in 1915. The original fair was a three-day event that began with a parade and saw prizes awarded for everything from best farm animal, to painting, basketwork, athletic
competition, dancing and music. Saturday’s fair, sponsored by the Siletz Tribal Arts and Heritage Society in cooperation with the Siletz Tribal Culture Department and other Tribal programs, will be reminiscent of those original Indian Fairs, but will not feature competition or athletic events. With the theme of “Sharing Our Culture, Educating Our Community,� the fair aims to proudly share Siletz Tribal culture and history with members of the Siletz Tribe and also to educate surrounding communities. The fair will run from noon to 5 pm at the armory, located at 541 SW Coast Hwy.

Described as “part street performance, part jam session, and part neighborhood block party,â€? the event will take place rain or shine every month through September 13 in the courtyard at CafĂŠ Mundo.

Members of the drum circle and special musical guests will also make appearances.

more or less compatible with our acoustic musical format who would like to perform or sit in with us to help create a festive cabaret atmosphere.� Shakers and other rhythm toys will be available to encourage audience participation.

Coordinated by Oregon Sea Grant Staff, the competition encourages students from Astoria to Bandon and Bend to The Dalles, to develop and apply science, technology, engineering and math skills as they work collaboratively to create working ROVs — tethered underwater robots used in ocean exploration, scientific research and marine technology industries — to complete missions that simulate real-world tasks. This year’s competition is organized around the role of ROVs in exploring and documenting shipwrecks and conserving national maritime heritage sites such as the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, where more than 50 shipwrecks are submerged. This competition helps students understand how chemical, biological and physical conditions can affect such archaeological sites. The teams will perform a variety of underwater mission tasks, piloting their ROV to identify a simulated shipwreck, collect microbial samples, inventory invasive species and remove debris. Students are challenged to think like entrepreneurs and form companies that

TOP BILLING I Spring Bird Blitz puts the ‘great’ in migratory
t’s not just for humans that the Oregon Coast is a great getaway destination. The coast’s popularity as a stopping-off point for hundreds of species of birds is the focus of the Spring Bird Blitz on Saturday, May 10. The celebration will see bird walks and familyfriendly activities going on at coastal sites from Lincoln City to Yachats, starting at 7 am and running through the day to 4 pm (see sidebar for details) Visitors will have the chance to see local and migratory birds in their native habitats; get involved with helping birds; and learn about the invaluable services birds provide. The Spring Bird Blitz is open to people of all ages and abilities; and many activities will be offered in Spanish and English. The Spring Bird Blitz is part of International Migratory Bird Day, a global campaign to inspire people of all ages to get outdoors; learn about birds; and take part in their conservation. Truly dedicated birders can document their Bird Blitz adventures with a Bird Blitz Passport, which offers prizes to those who manage to pick up a stamp from each of the seven Lincoln County locations. One of the hubs of the event is the Oregon Coast Aquarium, where visitors will get to see special presentations at the Seabird Aviary and Turkey Vulture Habitat as well as taking part in public question-and-answer sessions with the
aviculturists that care for the aquarium’s bird population. Information about birds and their roles in various environments will be spread throughout the aquarium for visitors to discover, along with biofacts, which are preserved objects associated with animals for people to see up-close and touch. International Migratory Bird Day events will take place between 11 am and 3 pm and are all free with the price of admission. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is located at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road. For more information, go to www.aquarium.org or call 541-867-3474. Further north, the Audubon Society of Lincoln City will be offering a birding tour of Lincoln City Open Spaces. No prior birding experience is required and binoculars and guidebooks will be provided. The tour will begin at 9 am at the parking lot of Chinook Winds Golf Resort, where nearby Open Space provides habitat for an interesting array of birds such as warblers as well as woodlands and open meadow resident raptors and small perching birds. Depending on group size and interest, the group will then carpool to other Open Space sites if time permits. The golf course is located at 3245 NE Clubhouse Drive. Follow NE West Devils Lake Blvd to the end and take a right. At the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area just south of
Yachats, staff will be offering a free birding walk and two slideshow programs. The events start at 11:30 am with “Beginning Birding and NatureScaping” a nature walk with Michael Noack, a long-time naturalist, educator, master gardener and volunteer at Cape Perpetua. This one-hour, easy-to-moderate walk starts at the visitor center and will investigate birds in the forest-to-the-sea habitat of Cape Perpetua. Participants are asked to bring binoculars or share with others. At 1:30 pm, the center will offer “Bird Migration on the Oregon Coast” with Anne Caples, master naturalist and world trekking birder at Cape Perpetua theater. Caples will discuss birds that visit the Oregon Coast as well as stories of her travels in search of unique, migratory birds. At 3 pm at the Cape Perpetua theater, Scenic Area Director Lori Robertson will present “Common Migrant and Resident Birds in the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area” discussing the behavior of visiting and local birds and the importance of wild habitats for the continuation of bird populations. A $5 day-use pass is required at Cape Perpetua Scenic Area and a variety of annual passes are also available. For more information, call 541-547-3289 or go to www.fs.usda.gov/siuslaw.
