Scheduled events and attractions will include the returning and popular Logger’s Shodeo, a GoKart exhibition, the annual Independence Day kid competition — for the most patriotic, Kids Day carnival and parade on Friday and main event parade on Saturday.

Through the weekend the Pioneer House Museum will be open for tours and nearby vendors and activity booths will offer something for the whole family.

The annual fireworks show, sponsored by the Lions Club and operated by the Powers Volunteer Fire Department, will be held Saturday, July 5, at dusk over the “Powers Pond” at the Coos County Park.

al event. Visitors come for the yearly softball tournament, the parade, food, entertainment, spectacular weather, or to the Coquille River for swimming, kayaking, floating or just cooling off.

advantages, too. While a peacock’s cumbersome tail feathers inhibit flight more than assist it, the extravagant array has a worthy trade-off. The color patterns in the feathers of many of today’s birds play a critical role in display and mating; it appears some feathered dinosaurs may have used their feathers in the same way. Some of the fossil dinosaur feathers found have microscopic details that show at least some had color patterns.

The color itself wasn’t preserved, but the shape of some of the cells on the surfaces of the feathers are the same as some of those that give today’s birds their feather color.

“Scales to feathers” isn’t as big a leap as might appear. Tracking the embryonic development of individual reptile scales or reptile/bird feathers shows that a surprisingly small change can make a big difference.

Reptile scales are effectively flat folds in the outer skin with a thickened surface. (Think pleated skirt or kilt, only with very short overlapping rows instead of waistband-to-hem rows.)

The simplest feathers form with a minor change in development from scales: instead of simply folding over flat, each small thickened patch folds down into the skin a bit then stands up in the middle, creating a sort of dry moat with an island of tissue in the center.

Instead of hardening to a flat scale, this island of tissue develops into the long, hollow tube that becomes a feather. Birds have a vari-

Whale watching on the coast The Oregon coastline is the place to be March 2229 for whale watchers hoping for a flash of a tail or spray from a spout.

SEE OUTDOORS | PAGE 7

Road closures and other regulations

Continued from Page 6

Several ODFW managed wildlife areas and Travel Management Areas are closed during the winter to protect big game on winter range.

A partial list of Wildlife Area closures include:

Nearly 160 gray whales cruise north each day on their annual spring migration and their numbers usually peak about the last week in March — just in time for the Spring Whale Watch Week.

Bring your questions to the trained volunteers stationed at 24 “Whale Watching Spoken Here” sites 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day during the week.

They’ll also share tips about spotting some of the 18,000 gray whales heading from their breeding grounds on Mexico’s Baja coast to their summer feeding grounds in the Bering and Chukchi Seas.

Oregon State Park rangers and volunteers also will be at the Whale Watching Center in Depoe Bay 10 a.m to 4 p.m. each day.

Visitors hoping to spot some of these passing giants should come to the coast with binoculars and rain gear and look for the “Whale Watching Spoken Here” signs at any of the 24 whale watching viewpoints. This time of year most of the whales can be spotted about 1-3 miles off the coastline. On occasion, whales will search for food or an early mother and calf will swim near shore.

Oregonians search for stray anters SALEM — The hunt is on … for shed antlers, that is.

This time of year, many Oregonians head outdoors to look for the antlers that have been shed by the state’s male deer and elk.

Deer usually shed theirs from late December through March, and elk from late February through early April.

But this time period also happens to be a critical one for big game, when animals are at their most vulnerable because there is less food available. Shed

hunters using motor vehicles can put wildlife on the move when these animals need to be conserving energy. Even people on foot or horseback can disturb animals. For this reason, some parts of the state known to serve as winter range for big game are closed or have motor vehicle restrictions at this time of year.

Sgt. Randy Hand, Oregon State Police, Klamath Falls, says road closure violations can be a problem this time of year.

“In the past, we have had folks off-roading in winter range in their quest to find antlers,” Hand said.

“Protecting winter range is a high priority this time of year and we are looking for violators.”

Steps to protect big game while searching: ■ Don’t disturb big game animals: Don’t approach animals or follow the same ones on a daily basis.

■ Respect road and area closures.

These are in place to protect winter range and wintering big game.

■ Don’t take vehicles off-roading.

The ground is water-logged at this time of year and off-roading in the wrong place can damage critical wildlife and fish habitat. Travel by foot or horseback instead.

■ Don’t be in the same spot every day. Deer and elk might need to be in that spot for food or cover, and your presence will keep them from it.

■ Keep dogs under your control.

Don’t let dogs approach or follow wildlife. State law prohibits dogs (and people) from harassing wildlife (OAR 498.102 and 498.006).

■ Don’t trespass on private property.

You always need permission to be on private land.

that of skeletal growth.

Elk antlers can weigh 30-40 pounds.

Elk antlers begin regrowing soon after they are shed, with most growth happening in spring and summer months. The antlers are covered by “velvet” throughout this growth period, before hardening to bone in late July-early August for elk and late August-early September for deer. This makes antlers ready in time for breeding season (in September for elk and November for deer), when male deer or elk will fight for dominance using their antlers.

People who collect shed antlers are allowed to sell or exchange them, but certain rules apply. Only naturally shed antlers, antlers detached from the skull, or a skull split apart can be sold or exchanged.

Past poaching problems led to the regulations.

Skulls that are split have less value and are not eligible for record books. These regulations reduce the incentive for someone to kill animals on winter range or out of season, hide the skull, and go back months later and “find it.” A Hide/Antler Dealer permit ($17) is needed to purchase antlers for use in the manufacture of handcrafted items.

RECREATION R E P O R T

NEWS AND NOTES ■ Recent rains have brought winter steelhead into the rivers. Look for fishing to improve as the high water begins to subside.

■ Steelhead fishing is picking up on the middle and upper Rogue River — and look for it to get better over the next couple of weeks.

■ Anglers have been catching good numbers of hatchery steelhead on the South Umpqua.

■ Spring chinook have begun arriving in the lower Umpqua and Rogue rivers.

■ For winter steelhead anglers looking for a little more solitude, water levels, weather conditions and numbers of fish should all align this weekend on the Illinois River.

FISHING Tenmile Basin: steelhead Steelhead fishing is open in the Tenmile Basin until April 30. Steelhead continue to move into the Eel Lake fish trap. Most of these fish are dark. There is bank fishing access at Spinreel Park, at the

mouth of Eel Creek and also along Eel Creek. Fishing in Eel Creek opened on Jan. 1. In the Tenmile Basin, from Dec. 1 through April 30, anglers may keep one additional adipose fin-clipped steelhead per day for a total aggregate of three adult fish harvested daily.

Umpqua River: winter steelhead The South Umpqua is open for winter steelhead fishing. The number of steelhead has increased in the South and should peak in March through early April.

Most hatchery steelhead return to the South Umpqua, so anglers interested in harvesting a hatchery fish will be most successful in the South. The rain has improved conditions on the South. Both bank and boat anglers have been doing well and a good number of hatchery fish have been caught recently.

Winchester Bay: winter steelhead Steelhead will be migrating up the Umpqua for the next several months.

Most steelhead fishing in the lower, main and north Umpqua is catch-and-release since most of the fish are wild. Anglers SEE REC | PAGE 8

REC Continued from Page7 wishing to harvest a hatchery fish should focus on the South Umpqua.

L o o n L a k e : rainbow trout, bass, bluegill The lake can also provide good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass. Fishing is slow and both the BLM and Resort’s boat ramps are closed. Loon Lake was stocked last week with about 2,000 trout. The lake will be stocked with over 3,500 trout in the next couple weeks. A few may be just shy of legal size for harvest.

Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout Mingus Park Pond is scheduled to be stocked this week with 1,000 legal size trout. Bradley Lake, Saunders Lake, Johnson Mill Pond, Powers Pond and Empire Lakes were all stocked with legal size trout last week.

Coos River Basin: Dungeness crab, bay clams, steelhead, rockfish Rains over the past weekend currently have the steelhead rivers in the Coos Basin at high river levels. The rivers should come into shape by the weekend.

Steelhead fishing is open in the Coos Basin until April 30. In the Coos Basin, from Dec. 1 through April 30, anglers may

keep one additional adipose fin-clipped steelhead per day for a total aggregate of three adult fish harvested daily. Anglers wanting to fish the South Fork Coos River will need to pick up an access permit from the Weyerhaeuser Dellwood office.

Anglers have been picking up rockfish and lingcod inside Coos Bay around the jetties and other submerged rockpiles.

Crabbing continues to be slow.

In a cooperative effort including ODFW and OSU researchers, hundreds of red rock crabs have been tagged with a small blue “floy tag” in Charleston to gain an understanding of their growth, age, movement, population size, and fishery.

Red rock crabs are native to Oregon and are found in only a few Oregon estuaries.

If you catch a tagged red rock crab please contact the ODFW Charleston office at 541-888-5515.

Clamming is excellent during low tides near Charleston, off Cape Arago Highway, and Clam Island. There are also good places to dig clams even on positive low tides in Coos Bay. Before any shellfish harvest trip, make sure to check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates.

Coquille River Basin: steelhead Rains over the past weekend currently have the steelhead rivers in the Coquille Basin at high water levels. The rivers should come into shape by the weekend.

Fishing has been good on the North Fork and South Fork Coquille rivers the past couple of weeks. Steelhead fishing is open in the Coquille Basin until April 30. In the Coquille Basin, from Dec. 1 through April 30, anglers may keep one additional adipose fin-clipped steelhead per day for a total aggregate of three adult fish harvested daily.

HUNTING Cougar hunting is open. Hunters can expect an average year. Cougars are abundant throughout with indicators pointing to stable or increasing numbers. Hunting cougar is a challenge because these animals are very secretive, but harvest success is greatest adjacent to private land with high deer populations using a predator call.

Coyote populations are good in Coos County and they will often respond to calls. Calling coyotes in the coast range is challenging due to brush. Many landowners with sheep are complaining about losses of sheep to coyote predation.

Hunters interested in hunting coyotes may find success in asking for permission to hunt private land where landowners are losing sheep.

REMINDER: Wolves and coyotes can look alike Most wolves in the state today are in northeast Oregon but a few have dis-

persed further west and south. Wolves are protected by state and/or federal law and it is unlawful to shoot them. Coyote hunters need to take extra care to identify their target as wolves can look like coyotes, especially wolf pups in the midsummer and fall. ODFW appreciates hunters’ assistance to establish wolves’ presence in Oregon; please report any wolf sightings or wolf sign to ODFW using the online reporting system.

TRAPPING Mink and Muskrat — Currently open.

Healthy populations throughout western Oregon. The last day of the season for mink and muskrat is March 31.

YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE Marine Mammals Seal and sea lion abundance in coastal waters around Coos County is high at this time of year, especially south of Coos Bay. At Simpson Reef, a heavily used haul out exists. From the look out, viewers can see California sea lions, Steller sea lions, harbor seals and elephant seals.

Do not approach seals and sea lions you may find on Oregon beaches. If you think an animal you find is, in fact, in trouble, contact your local ODFW office to report the animal or contact the Marine Mammal Stranding Network at 800-452-7888.
