LYMAN – Get ready for some fun – Dee Hatch and the Barn Dance Bandits are getting ready for their second spring gig at the Old Mill Lodge in Lyman, on Saturday, May 5. “We’re having another one of our barn dances, kind of similar to the last one,” said Ada Mae Crouse, who plays fiddle for the band. Dinner will be served at 6pm, and then a caller will coach everyone on the dance
routines and then the dancing will begin. “All are welcome to come, young and old, whether you know how to dance or not,” said Crouse. “The dance lessons are free, it’s a time to listen to music and dance have fun.” The band plays traditional music, old time fiddle tunes, polkas, two steps and waltzes. “We hope it’ll be a great community event.

ESCALANTE – A group of four youths, known locally as “runners,” made their way off the lower campus of Turn-About Ranch, a residential treatment program for troubled teens, on the night of Saturday, April 14. Each of the youths—who had split up during their run—were apprehended by late the following evening, on Sunday night. No injuries or damages within the local community were reported, but this most recent incident has fueled Escalante residents’ concerns over both security conditions at Turn-About Ranch, as well as the notification system to Escalante locals—and around the region—when runners are

ESCALANTE - Escalante’s city council held a slamdunk 23 minute meeting on April 17. The council fielded a few planning and zoning items and moved quickly through administrative items. During public comment, Escalante resident Leslie Venuti asked whether the council would consider an ordinance prohibiting franchises, in the city limits. City Attorney Barry Huntington, who was present for the meeting, said that the city cannot do that. Venuti indicated that neighboring Boulder Town has issued an ordinance related to franchises. Council member Stowe presented items forwarded to the council from planning and zoning. The city council approved two conditional use permits for Cowboy Country Inn, to operate holiday homes at both 95 W. Main and at 125 S. 100 W. Denita and Lewis Williams, who have purchased the former Serenidad Gallery on Main Street, requested a permit for remodeling the building and for a fence; however, in addition to their original request to P&Z they would now like to request that a portion of their fence be higher than the six feet
Michelle Lindsay, TurnAbout’s executive director, said “I think there is a little more alarm. There is some additional concern since that period of time [in reference to Jimmy Woolsey, the staff person who was killed in December 2016]. So to some it seems like things are worse, or that they are happening more often. And certainly a car theft is a lot more visible.” “I think we consider the incident with Jimmy an anomaly,” Lindsay added. “Students have always ran, and that is something that is difficult to predict,” said Shane Young, who serves as Turn-About’s admissions director. “We're not a ‘lockdown’ facility.” Lindsay and Young did not identify any additional security procedures that have taken place since the more serious incidents have occurred, and said that their best source of security is doing good screening of incoming students. “Some of this is dependent on parent reporting, what is the history of the student, what have they done in the past,” said Lindsay. “But the question is—what will they

Publisher's Notes New Feature Column
We would like to welcome Kathy Munthe as a regular contributor to the paper. Her new column "Feathers" will be featured monthly, or at which times, in between her world travels, she has time to write something up. Kathy got started identifying living things at around age 6, when her great uncle gave her a book about identifying flowers. She expanded to other plants, trees, and animals and got serious about birding when she was assigned to teach a field ecology course at Stockton State College in New Jersey. The course included a birding unit at the Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge, in which it was necessary for her to learn certain birds prior to the field trip. She moved to Colorado in the 1980s and ended up taking a vacation to Southern Arizona, where she found the birds to be diverse and plentiful. It was at this time that she caught the birding bug. Since then, she has traveled all over the globe: North America, Central and South America, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Australia, Thailand and Indonesia, Europe, East and South Africa, and the Middle East. She has also participated in several census/surveys (and still does) and contributed to the Breeding Bird Atlas for Colorado. We look forward to reading more from her about our feathered friends in the future! As always, our paper is made up of community content.

do here. That's part of the process and something that is ongoing. And being more vigilant. We don't want our staff to become casual. We have ongoing staff trainings. But you can't always predict what a student is going to do.” Stories circulating locally included that the youths managed to walk out the door of the facility, unimpeded. According to Lindsay and Young, Turn-About staff had just completed a bed check prior to the youths’ escape. “There was no altercation or aggression with any of the staff. They ran out the door, they didn't just walk off. We have procedures that are statemandated that are followed
very closely, so we were on this within five minutes,” said Young. While one youth was discovered relatively soon on the Turn-About campus, others were out all the following day. Several local individuals had interactions with the missing youths, without incident. Steve Angle, who has property adjacent to Turn-About, said, “The one kid found my motor home open. He went in there and spent the night on a soft bed with a cover and a blanket on him. He treated it nice, he didn’t tear anything up.” On Sunday evening, the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office activated their Emergency Telephone Notification (ETN) System public alert. According to Garfield County Sheriff’s office public information officer Denise Dastrup, a
How to opt-in to Garfield County and Turn-About Ranch emergency alerts: Call Garfield County Sheriff’s Office public information office Denise Dastrup at 435-690-1279, to have your phone number included on Garfield County’s Alert Notification list. On the web you can access Garfield County’s Alert Notification System through the Garfield County Sheriff’s website at http://gcutsheriff.com/. Scroll down the home page and click on the “Alert Notification” link, which will take you through a process where you can enter and/or update your emergency alert contact information. It takes about 10 minutes and you’ll need to be prepared to set up a password. Contact Turn-About Ranch directly at 435-8264240 to be added to the Turn-About Ranch notification call list. “robo” call was issued to 502 selected phone numbers in the Escalante area, although it was not implemented until 5:46pm on Sunday, April 15. The emergency message stated: “This is a message from Garfield County Sheriff's office. We have three runaways from Turn-About Ranch. Please lock your cars and your home. If you see anything suspicious please report it to the Sheriff’s Office at 435676-2678.” (One of the youths had already been captured by the time the emergency notification call was made.) Still, many Escalante residents said their phone numbers were not on the emergency notification list, and they had no idea the youths were on the run.
An Escalante resident who frequently hikes near town alone said she was planning on a day hike with a friend up Bailey’s Wash, when another local resident told her, “be careful, three runners are out there.” “This really unnerved me,” she said. “We ended up changing where we were going to walk.” “We need to know when these kids are running around, and we also need to know when they’re caught. I hike alone a lot, and I really want to know,” she added. Regarding notification to the community, Michelle Lindsay said, “There is a fine line between, ‘do you want to notify the community?’ and, ‘we don't want to create alarm.’” Garfield County Sheriff Danny Perkins said this was the first incident where the sheriff’s office has used the ETN system to notify local residents about Turn-About runners, and he said they are working with a new emergency alert phone system and still need to work out some of the kinks. “They were gone about a day before we finally sent the alert out. We should have done it a little before that,” said Sheriff Perkins. Perkins also noted that on the night the last two youths were found walking through Escalante, “We had a helicopter about halfway there.” Sheriff Perkins said his goal is for everyone to be on the Emergency Alert phone system list that would like to be on it, and he encouraged anyone who wants to make sure they are on the list to call the Garfield County Sheriff public information office or go online to enter or update their information. Turn-About director, Michelle Lindsay, said that their staff also makes calls to an opt-in notification list when there are runaways, and flyers are also placed at businesses in town. Sheriff Perkins shared several of the concerns that have been expressed by Escalante residents, related to Turn-About runners. “They are like criminials,” said Perkins. “You don't know what they are capable of. I've had conversations with citizens, and everyone agrees that Turn-About is an asset to the community, but everyone also agrees they need to beef up their security.” —Insider

Terry Albrecht was cast from the same brass bell as the likes of Dennis Allen, Karl Don Taylor, Donald Woolsey and Bruce Morrell. Together with John Jones, Willie Taylor, Dudley Elliot, Ronnie Reese, Mike Johnson, Bruce Nay, Ben Pace and many more, they were all, a mighty Wayne County force to be reckoned with. Terry Albrecht was one of those Wayne County cowboy legends that only came along every once in awhile. The crusty type of western cowboy that reached right out and gently touched everyone he met and left a long and lasting impression. Like Jack King, every mountain or desert trail and every river crossing in Wayne County tells a harrowing tale about Terry Albrecht, and every aspen tree above nine thousand feet bares his brand. Terry was carefully
well-worn boot. Astride the top of Terry Albrecht’s wooden casket were his saddle, his rope, and his signature Stetson hat. At first sight of the rough sawn wood casket that carried Terry Albrecht and his cowboy gear, every head, in every pew slowly swiveled side to side in unison, and every heavy heart skipped a beat. With guidance from above, Bishop Roger Brian of Loa Ward calmly presided over Terry Albrecht’s funeral services; President Dwight Brinkerhoff was also officiating right beside him. After the opening prayer by grand daughter Ashley Albrecht, Terry’s sister, Janet Barp, offered up her fond childhood memories of Terry. It was a tribute only a loving sister could share. When the time came for Brother Paul Pace to fondly reminisce about Terry Albrecht, all eyes were glued to the pulpit; humble, and at times emotional. Paul Pace, without the assistance of an encyclopedia, quoted a long and descriptive list of appellations that
described Terry Albrecht to a T. When Duella Brown pressed her fingers to the ivory keys of the Grand piano and played the tune “Happy Trails”, you would have thought Roy Rogers himself was going to ride right into the room with his wife, Dale Evans, trailing behind him. Everyone over fifty recalled the chorus exactly and seemed to sit up a little straighter in their seats when they sang its words. It was Terry’s son Ronnie Albrecht's quiet words that produced all the Kleenex. Ronnie recalled memories of his dad on the trail and on many a Henry Mountain bison hunt. Son Ronnie Albrecht painted a picture of Terry Albrecht that many of us present never knew, a portrait of a man sometimes troubled, often times lonely, and as vulnerably human as the rest of us. A stalwart individual that stretched out a hand to all his friends when in need, and as friends will do, they gladly appeared when he needed them the most. Terry Albrecht never forgot a good friend. It was fine and fitting that when Terry Albrecht and all his family and friends that were present descended the church house steps of the Loa Tabernacle that Jeff Olsen was tugging on the rope that rang the church house bell for all Wayne County to hear. The day was as sunny and beautiful as anything we have had all year, and it was a funeral service that we will all remember. Terry Albrecht was Wayne County and Wayne County will sorely miss Terry Albrecht. Terry Albrecht / Born September 12, 1953 Richfield, Utah / Died April 15th 2018 Salt Lake City, Utah / Rest in Peace, good friend.

On Earth Day, Panguitch Elementary Second Graders Reflect on Why Recycling is Important Lainee Sawyer: Recycling is very important for protecting the Earth resources. If you throw stuff away, we could have a dirty Earth! We should recycle so we can have a clean Earth. Next, the Earth could run out of clean land, water, minerals, coal, and plants if we don't recycle. last, recycling will make the world a better plave to live because it will keep the landfills low and we wont live in a dump. Let's recycle! Jerzi: Yes! It is important to recycle. We need a clean place to live in because if you live in a dirty place, animals will die and people will get sick. Next, we should recycle so trash will not pollute the land. We will be sad because we made the Earth dirty. Last, we should recycle so we don't lose Earth's resources. For example, if we don't recycle paper, we will cut down more trees for paper, and trees are important Earth resources. Now you know why recycling is important.

Shylee Keele: Is it important to recycle? Yes, it is important to recycle because we do not want to live in a dirty place and we should recyle because people and animals can get sick from all of the garbage. If we don't recycle, garbage will pollute the land. Recycling plastic makes new things like water bottles can be make into blankets. If we recycle, we will use less resources from the earth for example. Recycling paper uses less trees and trees are important resources. these are the reasons why it is important to recycle. I hope you will start recycling things today.

Wills, Trusts, and More Did Your Refinance “Undo” Your Living Trust? way because their work was undone. It is sometimes possible to obtain court approval to confirm trust ownership of a home that was never formally transferred to the trust. However, it can be costly for a court to make such determination and defeats the purpose of the trust. Anyone who implemented a "living trust" and subsequently refinanced their property should review the documents to make sure that the home is currently held in the living trust. If not, the owner should have a new deed prepared. The new deed should return the property into the trust. If you are concerned that your living trust may not be properly funded, or if you have other questions about your trust, review your existing documents. You should then make a list of questions and concerns to discuss with an attorney. Delaying addressing these issues could be costly. Many times all that is needed is a deed prepared and recorded or a simple amendment to modify small portions of a trust in order to accommodate changes in circumstances.
t H e One and Done
by Jeffery J. McKenna Revocable "living trusts" have become increasingly popular in the past decade. They allow heirs to avoid probate court proceedings. But unlike a will, a living trust cannot be simply signed and filed away. If an asset is never transferred to the trust, or is unintentionally removed from the trust, it will be subject to probate. Over the past few years, as interest rates plunged, many homeowners refinanced their homes to reduce payments. Unfortunately, many lenders won't make loans on property held in a living trust. They insist that the home be transferred back to the owners' individual names before a loan is made. After the new loan is made and the new deed of trust is recorded, the homeowners are free to transfer the home back into the living trust but lenders rarely assist homeowners with this final step. (Some homeowners don't even know their home was removed from the trust, since they signed many documents at once.) The end result is that homeowners who properly transferred their homes into living trusts to avoid probate, may face probate any-

South Central Communications (SCC) crews are currently beginning work to add Panguitch and Loa as the seventh and eighth communities to transition to SCC’s Fiber-to-the-Home technology since the project began in 2015. Construction of SCC’s stateof-the-art fiber infrastructure has recently concluded in Tropic, Cannonville, and Apple Valley, Utah and those crews are transitioning to Panguitch and Loa through the month of April. For customers in Tropic/Cannonville and Apple Valley, final work will continue and technicians will be installing customers on the new fiber service for next couple of months. SCC is invested in its communities. Keeping our local areas connected, and providing highlevel service that delivers new opportunities for customers, is their top priority. Upgrading their network to one focused on enhanced fiber optic technology is crucial to maintaining this commitment. “The investment South Central
has made to increase bandwidth throughout our communities is an indispensable asset that will benefit our customers 10, 20 even 50 years from now,” SCC CEO Michael East stated. The Internet has changed the way most Americans work, communicate and live their lives. The key benefit of fiber optics is Gigabit Internet – download speeds that reach 1000 Mbps – that meets these modern needs. The capacity provided by fiber and Gigabit speeds ensures all customer devices will maximize their capability and provide faster speeds, even when they’re all connected at the same time. In addition, having a fiber-connected home could increase your home’s resale value by $5,000+. Panguitch and Loa customers should begin seeing crews in their area in the coming days and weeks. If you have questions about the process or want to learn more about how the fiber build will positively impact your community, please call (888) 826-4211 or go online to www. socen.com. —South Central Communications

FYI PanguItch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Panguitch's High School Drama Club adds another state championship to the school.. Cheryl Church and Elaine Baldwin put together this championship team, and through many hours of rehearsing they managed to bring home the honors. This event doesn’t allow microphones, which means that you really have to project your voice so the judges can hear you, and these kids were really good at that. The cast put on their show earlier in the month for the public, and the play was hilarious and fun. This competition is really hard, with many of the 1A private schools being involved, and this is Elaine and Cheryl second championship. Panguitch’s kids, no matter what the challenge is, put their best effort into doing their part. It is fun to see these kids get into a part that is just the opposite of what their personality is. Pat and I just got back from New Port beach, and we had a great time. We were able to spend some time visiting with our Granddaughter, Teah. She is moving out of her current digs, and we went house hunting for something for her
to rent. The world is passing us by, rentals are posted on the internet, with their location and rental fee. One place we went to had about 20 people outside waiting to check the place out. When we got to see the place, she liked it and put in an application for it, along with 32 other people. Teah’s friend has been in the complex for two years and put in a good word for her, and she got the place. So we will be going back down there in a couple of weeks to help her move. One place we went to had a house for sale next door. It was a small 1200 square home with three tiny bedrooms, and they only wanted $1.20 million dollars for it. I don’t think we will be moving to San Diego anytime soon. This is the same size house Pat and I bought when we were first married, and we paid $14,500 for it, I guess we should have held on to it. Our payment were $110 a month, and we didn’t know how we were going to pay for it. We did go and visit some of our friends, and we also made our annual trip up to Santa Barbara on the train from San Juan. It is about a 4 hour trip one way, but it is really restful.
We went out on the pier and had dinner and turned around and hopped back the train for the ride home. The train goes along the coast, and it is a pretty drive. On Saturday, we went down to the Huntington Beach Pier. When I was a young kid during the summer, my dad took our small trailer down there. It was during WW11 , and you couldn’t have any lights on or build any fires. When the war came to an end, there were fireworks and search lights and people turning on their headlights. It was an exciting event. There was joy throughout the world. Anyway, I would walk out onto the pier and fish. I can’t remember if I ever caught anything. There are a lot of people fishing out there, even now, and you don’t see many of them with fish. I guess it is a good way to kill some time. Huntington Beach is a great place for surfing, and it is fascinating how well they can ride those waves. I tried it once and couldn’t even get up on the board, and boy is that water cold. When I was growing up, we body surfed and you could get a pretty good ride. Surfing was for Hawaii,
and it didn’t catch on here for another ten years. It was a beautiful day and the whole world was there. Traveling up Pacific Coast Highway 101 , you go through Laguna Beach and they have a big neon sign that says “Thank you for not smoking”, Laguna is a smoke free town, WOW! Don’t you just love it? By now you probably know it , but at the Republicans Convention, Mitt Romney, who was supposed to be a shoe in, came in second and will have to compete at the primaries for the Senate position. Of course this means that a lot of money will have to be spent to acquire the nomination. The US Treasury announced that the Nation’s debt will swell from 23 trillion to 33 trillion in ten years, because of the tax cuts. Another scary thing is that because of the interest rate hike the interest alone on the debt is now $1 trillion a year. Of course, this is if we don’t have any wars. We paid $4.95 a gallon for gas at the Nevada State line! Live the moment, tomorrow is over rated.

“How in the world are they going to deal with all this information?” The “they” in question is Boulder Town’s Planning Commission. The question was posed by a few of the nearly 40 Boulder-area residents who spent the better part of the winter, and nearly every week, researching, compiling, discussing, and summarizing information to share with the Planning Commission. Their task was open ended--- review the Town’s General Plan and suggest any changes needed. Discussion groups were divided into four areas of specific interest: Community Identity, Housing, Economic Development, and Land Use. The first thing the groups found was the overlap of the four areas. You can’t solve housing without talking about land use. You can’t discuss economic development without bringing up housing. You can’t figure out anything without some consensus on your

town’s stated vision and goals. Nevertheless, the groups persevered. Now, the papers and drawings and bullet points and presentations are landing back on the table of the Planning Commission. Its job is to take that input and make those changes to the General Plan. After that, the Commission will need to dig into the town’s Zoning and Subdivision ordinances to reflect and give enforcement muscle to the statements in the General Plan. As the recording secretary of the Planning Commission for the past dozen years, I can say with knowledge “this won’t be easy.” I know how many meetings it has taken past Commissions to finalize single definition changes or individual additions to an ordinance. I’m not disparaging their work. Making any such change involves research, discussion, public hearings, usually follow-up discussions, and then the recommended changes forwarded to the Town Council. It’s a long process, intentionally so, because ordinance changes, in particular, can have long-lasting, and sometimes unintended consequences. It’s a heavy burden on volunteer, citizen planners. But I’ve also witnessed the transformation that happens when an individual embodies that role, and how a public-minded, protective sort of “ownership” for the town comes into being. The groups and commu-

nity converged last Friday in an open house to display the highlights of the work. Here are thoughts from a few attendees: Leilani Navar said she was “happy to find we shared so much in common. The main theme for all seemed to be wanting to maintain what we have--- Boulder as Boulder. Ranching. Protect against change.” She said the group had to work through some terminology issues. For example, “some people didn’t like the word “sustainable,” and felt it meant to exclude ways of being with the land. But when we talked about keeping our clean water, clean air, etc., everyone agreed. So the language mattered.” She thought “we got to some good, specific ideas, such as ways to streamline ease-of-entry for young families getting started, without opening the gates to major development. Tabor Dahl said, “It was an opportunity to meet and talk together. There are people who’ve lived here for years and haven’t actually sat down with other people. That’s a huge start—just to get talking. And realizing the connection between what’s attractive about Boulder and how it came into being. He thought that even if [this produces] no real change, just to get people together--that’s big.” Mary Jane Coombs said, “I was hoping for, and glad to see I was right, that we all had so much in common, de-
spite some differences,” she said. “I think the scope of the discussions has probably produced too much for the Planning Commission to really work on, but it’s been good to have the conversation and get the ideas out there. Now we, at least, have a base we can firmly say about what the community is thinking and what we want.” Dianne Oberhansly liked the visual presentation at the open house. She said, “It’s sometimes easier to take in a lot of information visually, where you have a chance to look at it and think about it.” Along those lines, Ray Nelson would like to see the information all available on Boulder Town’s website, (which it will be). There were also some critiques. For example, Jabe Beal said it was a great collaborative effort. But he also thought the groups might have gotten off to a quicker start if they’d had more upfront direction, and a better understanding of what was expected. Several other participants expressed the need for having “a good facilitator,” or someone not vested in actual content, but rather the interaction and the conversation itself. The atmosphere Friday was not so much closure, as celebrating the first phase of a process. Hopefully, this first phase ignites ongoing interest in the Planning Commission’s upcoming workload.

ficult not to have at least a casual interest in these beautiful and active creatures. So, let’s try this: For awhile, at least, and approximately every other month, I will write a column covering a variety of bird topics, and I would love to include contributions from you. If you have interesting sightings or stories to tell, or if you have topics or questions you’d like addressed, anonymously or not, please get in touch. You can email me at kathy.munthe@gmail.com; I am also in the phone book. Birding is probably the fastest growing outdoor activity in this country. In the past, “birdwatchers” were often described as a few “little old ladies in tennis shoes” running around the woods with binoculars. In recent decades, however, “birding”, as it is now known, has been taken up by millions and millions of people. They range from the casual to the fanatic (if you want to see just how fanatic people can get, watch the movie “The Big Year”), and their economic impact has been substantial. Communities across the US have birding festivals, bird celebrations, and birding trails; motels, restaurants, and other services in those places have benefited greatly. As many of you know, I am an avid birder myself and have travelled to all kinds of crazy places in search of new birds to see. Why? Well, birding is a form of collecting. Many of you out there collect something, I know – stamps, coins, dolls, whatever. I don’t collect actual birds, but bird sightings, which I then put on to my Life List, a cumulative list of all the bird species I’ve seen in my lifetime. The overall collecting goal of most birders is to see as many species as possible. Mine is to see at least half of the approximately 10,000 known species in the world. Along the way, I am privileged to observe beautiful and interesting birds, many of which are becoming
increasingly rare, in their natural habitats - in jungles, deserts and grasslands, in mountains, on lakes and rivers, and out on the open ocean. A second birding goal of an increasing number of birders, and of mine, is to see representatives of most or all of the recognized bird families, which currently number 237. A bird family is a group of very closely related species. Ducks, Geese and Swans, for example, all belong to the family Anatidae; Ravens, Crows, Magpies and Jays are all in the family Corvidae. Since the 1970’s, and especially in more recent decades, much DNA work has been done on birds and this has gone a long way toward sorting out relationships among and within families. The results of this work have often been surprising. Just in the last few years, for example, it was discovered that Falcons are genetically closer to Parrots than they are to Vultures, Eagles and Hawks. Who knew? It shows that, just because some bird families resemble others, they aren’t necessarily closely related. The same is true within families. A few of the larger ones had become “garbage baskets” for birds which looked similar but whose relationships were questionable, but now some species are being reallocated, or even separated out into their own families, thanks to DNA work. As of the beginning of this year, I had seen members of 213 bird families, so I was 24 short. Looking at where the greatest concentration of remaining families lived led me to New Zealand, which has 6, and “nearby” (sort of) New Caledonia added a 7th. New Caledonia is a largish French island in the South Pacific which is home to 25 endemic (found only there) bird species, including the wonderful Kagu (see photo), which isn’t very closely related to anything and therefore has been placed in its own family. Kagus are flightless ground dwellers (they can glide a bit when pressed) which have a long crest of feathers on their heads. During everyday
activities, the crest lies flat, but when displaying to others, the birds can unfurl their crests into rather impressive headdresses. Kagus are not particularly shy; my guide Isabelle and I found that, if we stirred up leaf litter on the ground with a stick, a Kagu would approach to see if we’d uncovered any insects, snails, or other good things to eat. In New Zealand, I joined 6 other birders and a guide for a focused birding tour of both North and South Islands. Our aim was to see as many endemic bird species as possible, but especially members of the 6 endemic families: Kiwis, New Zealand Parrots, Wattlebirds, New Zealand Wrens, New Zealand Creepers, and the Stitchbird. Probably the only one of these familiar to most of you is the Kiwi. There are 5 species of these flightless, nocturnal birds, and we saw 4 of them, after undergoing strict “Kiwi training”. Kiwis have poor eyesight, but excellent hearing, and will run at the slightest noise, so we had to practice walking quietly, stopping in unison so as not to shuffle feet, and standing perfectly still. Despite all these precautions, we got only rather quick glimpses of 3 of the species, but were able to observe a 4th for some time while it fed on Sandhoppers among beach kelp. Of the 2 New Zealand Parrots, the Kea has gained some notoriety as a parking lot pest. Keas are very curious and have also learned that cars can contain food. There are numerous stories of people returning to their cars to find the windshield wiper blades shredded or rubber window seals removed. I have even seen a video of a Kea letting air out of a tire! The 3 species of Wattlebirds all have faces decorated with colorful patches of skin; the 2 species of New Zealand Wrens include a tiny, almost tailless bird with a big name, Rifleman, which looks like a flying golf ball and is definitely one of the world’s cutest birds; New Zealand Creepers are primarily tree top dwellers and therefore had to see, but
Page 7
we managed to get at least a glimpse of all 3 species; and we were able to observe a number of Stitchbirds, a species recently placed in its own family, at close range. As has happened everywhere, humans and their introduced predators – dogs, cats, weasels and rats among others – have really done a job on New Zealand’s birds. These birds (and the Kagu, too) evolved in the absence of mammalian predators and have no natural defenses against them. Beginning with the arrival of Maori people 700-800 years ago, and continuing through European colonization, over 2 dozen species were wiped out and a number of others brought to the brink of extinction. When the Maoris arrived, for example, there were 9
species of large, flightless Moas. Within just a few decades Moas, and the giant eagle which fed on them, were gone. Off shore, predator-free islands have been the last hope for many species. The Stitchbird mentioned above, for example, was wiped out on the mainland but found to live in small numbers on 2 islands. We were fortunate enough to visit one of those, Tiritiri, and saw several kinds of tracking devices and traps designed to keep the island predator-free. A few weeks before our visit, a rat was detected on Tiritiri. Hundreds of volunteers descended to search for it; the rat was found and dispatched. There are now predator-free “islands” being established on the mainland through use of predator-exclusion fenc-
es. When species numbers on an island become large enough, some birds are transplanted to appropriate, predator-free habitat on the mainland in hopes of reestablishing populations there. The difference in bird variety, activity and song between the predator-free areas we visited and the general countryside was astounding. It is Autumn in New Zealand now, but Spring here, and bird migration is on the upswing. Keep your eyes and ears open – there are interesting species passing through on their way north, and each week brings new migrant breeding bird arrivals. They and our resident breeding birds are already tuning up for the annual spring song fest!
