Message-ID: <4534056.1352112933194.JavaMail.root@elwamui-polski.atl.sa.earthlink.net> Hi all. International Bird Rescue is holding a contest to see who reports the most banded Brown Pelicans between now and January 2, http://www.bird-rescue.org/pelican-project/banded-pelican-sighting-contest.aspx. All rehabilitated birds get a metal band, but for the last couple of years IBR has been outfitting rehabbed Brown Pelicans with blue bands imprinted with a code consisting of one letter and two digits. The bands and numbers are very easy to spot. There is also a research project from British Columbia that has placed nasal disks on Western Grebes which are arriving in our area, http://www.flickr.com/photos/markedwesterngrebes/8080345858/. Even when there is no contest, it is always helpful to report banded birds. Especially when markers different from just the plain metal bands are involved. For example, Bald Eagles on the Channel Islands have disks with numbers on their wings, and some Snowy Plovers have bands of different colors on their legs. With a bit of patience, it is often possible to read the numbers on the metal bands on birds also. I try to get a series of photographs from different angles and them piece the number together on the computer. Metal bands usually have a series of four digits and another of five digits separated by a dash. You can report all markers to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center Bird Banding Laboratory, http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/BBL/bblretrv/ and make valuable contributions to research. Take care, Bernardo Bernardo Alps www.photocetus.com Whalephoto at earthlink.net 310.597.0449 P.O.

Deb Clark ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: bandedbirds.org To: miramarragamuffin at yahoo.com Sent: Fri, August 17, 2012 9:25:38 AM Subject: RE: report to bandedbirds.org Dear Deb, Thanks so much for reporting your whimbrel sighting to bandedbirds.org. Resightings along the migratory route for these birds are still few, so even getting a report without the code is valuable. Hope you can get the code next time! I can tell you that the flag would have been red; I've checked with the banders and there is no flag orange banding of whimbrel (yet). Also you were able to spot the color of the auxliary band: O over metal. I suspect the metal was on the upper leg under the orange. Based on this I can tell you the bird was banded in Chiloe Island, Chile in December of 2008 (year is based on the orange band). Looking forward to receiving data from you in the future!

Message-ID: November 8, 2012 For Immediate Release Yvonne Menard, Channel Islands National Park (805) 658-5725 Cave and Artifacts Found on San Nicolas Island In an upcoming lecture US Navy senior archeologist and historian Steve Schwartz will tell the story of the remarkable and recent discovery of a long-sought-after cave on San Nicolas Island that was likely the home of the ?lone woman.? The ?lone woman? is depicted in the nation?s sixth best-selling, award-winning children?s book *Island of the Blue Dolphins, *a novel based on the true story of a Native American woman left alone for 18 years on San Nicolas Island in the mid-1800s. Schwartz will share a second significant discovery of two Nicole?o redwood boxes filled with over 200 artifacts fortuitously found during an island survey. Artifacts included asphaltum- coated water bottles, fish hooks, an abalone jewelry box with bird bone hairpins and pendants, a bone toggling harpoon, and various knives and carving tools. These materials, representative of Nicole?o and Alaskan Native Americans and European origins, reveal key information about human occupation and interactions on the island. San Nicolas Island, one of eight Channel Islands, is located 55 nautical miles southwest of Ventura County and is an active military facility used for weapons testing and training. Schwartz began his career in the Southwest as an archeologist working for the US Army Corps of Engineers. For the past 25 years he has worked with the US Navy at Naval Base Ventura County where he has authored numerous publications about the archeology and history of San Nicolas Island. This free lecture will be held at *7:00 pm on Wednesday, November 14, 2012*, at the Channel Islands National Park Robert J. Lagomarsino Visitor Center, 1901 Spinnaker Drive in the Ventura Harbor. The From Shore to Sea lecture series is sponsored by Channel Islands National Park to further the understanding of current research on the Channel Islands and surrounding waters. Lectures occur the second Wednesday of March, April, May, September, October, and November.

I recommend it highly to anyone involved in outreach for the CINMS and the CINP. The story illuminates John Olguin as a pivotal pioneer in educating the public toward the preservation and the protection of our local ocean ecosystem. The interpretive methodology we ocean and island people use today to convey the overlapping missions of our CINMS and CINP owe much to this life guard from San Pedro. The Olguin story starts in the early 1950s when he turned Grunion runs and tide pool excursions into educational community events at Cabrillo Beach. By the early 1970s he had enlisted and trained a whale watch corps at the Cabrillo Beach Museum which became the model for all whale watch corps all over our country ( including the CINC ). To this end, John Olguin even became the president of the then newly established American Cetacean Society, to better educate and promote his whale watch corps. He encouraged the Society to move its office to San Pedro, and enlisted their advice in creating the first marine mammal watching code for whale watch boats, which still remains the basis of the one we use today. His corps of volunteers fanned out all over the Southern California coastline spreading this code to whale watch skippers ( who he had often recruited ). The reader is also told how this lifeguard, without a college education, was the main mover in transforming a small shell collection at the Cabrillo Beach Bath House into a renown interactive museum and marine education facility. After retiring from life guard duties he became its director. The "rest of this story" tells us how John Olguin had the Channel Islands in his DNA, as well as the ocean and all living things in it. In their 15 foot rowboat, John and his wife Muriel, rowed over and back to to Santa Catalina Island from San Pedro 12 times! They also rowed to Anacapa from Oxnard, and from island to island. They even circumnavigated Santa Rosa and San Miguel on separate ventures. They always slept in the rowboat. However, one trip they took to Catalina with John's brother, Leonard, was a week long excursion to Emerald Bay, where-in they all lived off the land and sea, just as he and his brother's Native American Tongva ancestors did. John's father had walked as a young man from Mexico to San Pedro. John's mother was local native Tongva ( Gabrielino ).
