BOARD NOTES FOR JANUARY by Brenda Wright, Juneau Audubon Society president
Healthy and busy New Year to you all! We have a couple of very fun and interesting events coming
up in February this year. The Juneau Audubon board is happy to be a sponsor of the 11th Alaska Bird
Conference and Workshops to be held in Juneau February 7-9, 2006. The conference offers
contributed papers and also special lectures. .

After the excitement of the bird conference we can all contribute to citizen science by participating in
the Great Backyard Bird count jointly sponsored by National Audubon Society and Cornel
Laboratory of Ornithology. This year the count will be on February 17-20. You can join with thousand
of others to find out how many birds are being seen in your area and across the continent this winter.
This huge project allows you to participate in documenting where birds are, and track changes in their
numbers compared to previous years, helping scientists paint a picture of the state of birds this winter.
For more information, or to get started, go to http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/

The Juneau Audubon board has recently been in contact with the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve and Lynn Canal
Conservation group about concerns with plans for the preserve. Please read the information included in this
newsletter for more information.

As always the Juneau Audubon board appreciates suggestions for improvements or changes. Please contact any
of us though addresses on our web page. Your local Juneau Audubon web page also includes a local bird
checklist, lecture schedules, and past newsletters (www.juneau-audubon-society.org).
BALD EAGLE/COASTAL RAINFOREST ECOLOGY FUND
By Deana Hale
The University of Alaska Southeast has an Endowed Fund designed to aid bald eagles, their habitat in Southeast
Alaska and students. The Bald Eagle / Coastal Rainforest Ecology Fund’s ultimate goal is to raise $2.5 million
to provide an endowed chair at UAS related to bald eagle ecology. However, in the meantime, the fund can
provide for small research grants and education about bald eagles and their importance in Southeast Alaska.

Short term possible uses for the fund’s earnings include using it as a source to hire students doing bald eagle and
coastal rainforest ecology related research and provide student scholarships for biology or environmental
science majors studying bald eagles and their relationships to the coastal rainforest. Additionally, the fund’s
resources could be used to offer fellowships related to bald eagles and coastal rainforest ecology, support
visiting professors in this area and provide for publications, conferences and workshops related to bald eagle
ecology.

Jim King, retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist/pilot, credits many others with the forward thinking
involved with the endowment’s establishment. “This Fund gives the University financial resources for bald
eagle and coastal rainforest ecology projects that are not dependent on politics or other outside influences and
cannot be taken from Juneau and Southeast,” says King. Instrumental in the fund’s creation were King,
members of the Bald Eagle Research Institute (BERI), its former treasurer, Myra Howe, and former UAS
Chancellor Marshal Lind, all of whom were committed to local control of funding for bald eagles and their
habitat.

Those who established the Fund were looking to the future. The initial principal is invested with the University
of Alaska Foundation where the earnings, but not the principal, can be used at the discretion of the UAS
Chancellor for projects related to rainforest ecology and the eagles. The Fund has unlimited potential to
contribute to the Juneau economy.

“An endowment like the UAS Bald Eagle / Coastal Rainforest Ecology Fund that supports research is
important for our understanding of and the protection of eagle habitat in Southeast,” says UAS Chancellor John
Pugh.

Those who wish to contribute to the UAS Bald Eagle / Coastal Rainforest Ecology Fund may do so with
MasterCard or Visa by going to the UA Foundation’s secure website at
https://ssl.uaf.edu/ua/uafound/forms/securegift.html. When asked what fund you would like your gift directed to,
please indicate “UAS Bald Eagle / Coastal Rainforest Ecology”. Gifts also may be made by check payable to
UAS with Bald Eagle Fund in the memo line and by mailing to UAS Development Office, 11120 Glacier Hwy.,
Juneau, AK 99801. For more information contact the UAS Development Office at 796-6566.

2005 JUNEAU CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT RESULTS
by Mark Schwan
Juneau's Christmas Bird Count was held on Saturday, December 17. Thirty-seven volunteers enjoyed
an unusually mild and dry day for birding. Seventy-two species and just under 20,000 (a record high)
birds were seen during the day. The day’s list was marked by a number of missed birds but then record
high counts for many species, along with a nice mix of unusual species and several new to our local
count all made for an interesting day (See table below).

New high counts were obtained for several species of waterfowl (American Wigeon record was
impressive, especially for a species only becoming a count “regular” about ten years ago), Marbled
Murrelet, Black-billed Magpie, and Golden-crowned Kinglet. However, Pacific Loon and European
Starling, both seen on all but two previous counts, were missed on count day. Moreover, our irruptive
species such as crossbills and siskins barely made a showing.

The potluck after the day’s birding activities was great; thanks to everyone for their generous
contributions. Also, thanks to Paul Suchanek for developing and sharing a new field data recording
form and for coordinating the downtown and Douglas efforts, and to Gus van Vliet for tracking count
week species, and conducting the evening tally. Finally, thanks to all those who participated on the
count; it was a fine day.

SKAGWAY CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT PRELIMINARY RESULTS
By Meg Hahr
th
On Saturday December 17 , twenty-one Skagwegians and 4 visitors from Whitehorse
turned out for the third official Skagway Christmas Bird Count. Not bad for a town of
less than 800 year-round residents! It was an ideal day for birding – clear skies, 42
degrees F, and remarkably calm – very atypical weather for Skagway this time of year.
Lingering patches of valley fog were the only hindrance count participants faced when
scanning Taiya Inlet and Naku Bay. Thirty-three species were observed on count day
(consistent with previous years), the most abundant of which were marbled murrelet,
chestnut-backed chickadee, and common merganser. For the first time, pacific loon and
northern bobwhite were seen during the count. Nine bobwhite escaped from a local
breeder last spring and appear to have increased considerably in numbers over the
summer. A flock of 40 birds were observed recently near the north end of town. This is
the first time this non-native species has been encountered during the Skagway CBC.
Conspicuously absent from this year’s count were mallard, pine siskin, northern goshawk
and white-winged crossbill. The perfect weather and great turnout made this year’s count
one of the most enjoyable yet. Special thanks go to Elaine “Bird Lady” Furbish for
organizing the count, Sandy “Tooth Fairy” Snell-Dobert for compiling the results, John
and Lorna McDermott for once again hosting the post-count potluck dinner, our
Canadian friends who traveled all the way from Whitehorse, and all the other Skagway
birders who helped make this year’s CBC a success!

KETCHIKAN'S CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT RESULTS -Teri Goucher
December 17th was an exceptionally beautiful, sunny day here in Ketchikan.The winds were
calm and the temperature ranged from 30 to 37 degrees.

There were 43 people in 21 parties participating this year, finding 68 species, the most ever for
our area!

In addition to the more commonly found species for Southeast Alaska we managed to tally some
very interesting birds and numbers!

An unusually high number of 26 Northern Flickers were found, this compares to a previous high
count of 6 seen in 2001.
American Robin numbers were also very high with 115 seen that day;which is considerably
higher than 30 being spotted in 1993.
A brand new species for our count was American Pipit; amazingly 9 were seen together in
Saxman!
A Northern Pygmy-Owl was found, marking another new count day species, although one had
been spotted during count week in 2000!
Single individuals of rarer species were found including a Pied-billed Grebe, Brewer's
Blackbird, White-throated Sparrow, and Bonaparte's Gull.
There were up to 11 Trumpeter Swans on Ward Lake during count week, with a few being
recorded for the count day.

There were five more species added to Ketchikan's data during count week; these included Red-
breasted Sapsucker, Common Grackle, Glaucous Gull, Pine Grosbeak and Swamp
Sparrow!

Thanks to everyone who birded on land and sea on a lovely day to make Ketchikan's best ever
Christmas Bird Count results possible!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

GLACIER BAY/GUSTAVUS CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT 2005


By Bruce Paige
The 2005 Christmas Bird Count is history, and it was a smashing success! If you could
conjure up the recipe for a great bird count, the ingredients would look something like
this. Start with a day that is clear and calm so the birds can be seen at long distances.
Keep the snow off the ground so that observers can walk easily about, and to allow birds
a large foraging area . Keep the temperature mild, so that the freshwater is unfrozen to
attract water birds (ok, so the lakes were partly frozen!). Finally, have a large number of
willing observers participate in the count so that the area can be well covered. Saturday,
December 17 had all of these ingredients in spades! A record 24 Gustavus residents
hiked, drove, .and even three boats were used to cruise the waters of Icy Strait, Lower
Glacier Bay, and the Beardslee Islands this year. The results tied the record for largest
number of species in over three decades of counts, 73, and the 14, 625 individual birds
counted were the second highest number ever.

Three species were seen for the first time during this mid-winter count, black turnstone,
hermit thrush, and fox sparrow. So many previously unrecorded species in one year is
noteworthy. Three additional species, greater yellowlegs, short-eared owl, bohemian
waxwing were found during the count week. The most remarkable aspect of the count
was that nearly every bird species was found in higher than average numbers, and a truly
amazing 22 species, almost a third of the of the total, were recorded in all-time high
numbers. Among these were (their average numbers are in parenthesis) 51 pacific loons
(7), 93 common loons (22), 76 horned grebes (19), 195 pelagic cormorants (69), 1335
mallards (508), 395 black scoters (37), 1992 surf scoters (408), 412 red-breasted
mergansers (104), 12 belted kingfishers (2), 26 Steller’s jays (5), 103 common raven
(35), 151 chestnut-backed chickadees (51), 101 golden-crowned kinglets (14), and 17
song sparrows (4),

Some of these exceptional concentrations may be easy to explain. Steller’s jay


populations exploded around Gustavus during the past summer and have stayed high (one
feeding station observer reported 18 jays on the day of the count!!). It is also hard to get
away from the sounds and sights of common ravens this winter. The recently-ended
moose hunting season left at least 100 huge carcasses scattered around the countryside.
Mild weather with the resulting open fresh water and bare ground probably accounts for
the record numbers of belted kingfishers and song sparrows. Increasing numbers of bird-
feeding stations helped certain species like chickadees and juncos. Generally, numbers of
fish-eaters like loons, grebes, and mergansers were up, as were bottom-feeding waterfowl
such as scoters. The black scoter has been noticeably more abundant the last couple of
years. Is the increase the result of a natural ocean cycle or something else? It will be
interesting to compare the species data from Glacier Bay/ Gustavus with other Alaska
and North American counts to see if the numbers are a purely local phenomena, or have a
more regional or national application.

HAINES CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT By Georgia Giacobbe


Birding enthusiasts of Haines conducted the first of two Christmas Bird Counts on
December 18. The radius began from the Haines Post Office. In a preliminary reporting,
the 22 participants all agreed it was a beautiful day for birding (which has been rare in
Haines this fall), but they counted a lower number of birds than in the past. Not all results
have been compiled as of the date going to press. The expected species were there but no
great surprises. Tim Shields noted a larger number of Golden-crowned Kinglets but a
lower number of gulls. A second Christmas Bird Count will be conducted December 31
in the Eagle Preserve with the Chilkat River Bridge as the focus. Long-time Haines
resident Kaitlin Strain will be returning to provide methodology for that bird count. On
the day after Christmas, this writer toured the Lutak Inlet to determine what waterfowl
were spending the holidays. On that date, a raft of about 150 male and female Barrow's
Goldeneyes were noted off of Picture Point. Farther up the inlet a scattering of waterfowl
were noted with about 10 Red-breasted Mergansers mixed with a few goldeneyes being
the largest group. A half dozen of scaups (not sure if they were greater or lesser because
of the lighting) along with a pair of Buffleheads. A half dozen Black Scoters were also
seen in the inlet. At 2.5 mile on Haines Highway a pair of Northern Harriers were spotted
hunting across the flats this month.
PLEASE KEEP AN EAGLE EYE OUT FOR THE BALD EAGLE PRESERVE
By Caroln Weishahn
Twenty-three years ago, the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve was established by the State
Legislature to protect and perpetuate the Chilkat bald eagle, its habitat, and the salmon on
which it depends. The annual gathering of thousands of eagles during winter months on
the 'Council Grounds' of the Chilkat River thrills birders, photographers, artists, and
tourists who travel from near and far to witness this spectacular natural phenomenon.

Just days before locals and visitors would gather in the Preserve to celebrate the 10th
Anniversary of the Alaska Bald Eagle Festival, State House Representative Bill Thomas
announced at the annual Haines Chamber of Commerce banquet that he is considering
introducing legislation that would shrink the Preserve by 40%. This would remove the
controversial jet boat tour route from the higher management standard required in the
Preserve.

"I haven't drafted it, but I'm looking at it," Thomas said. "The bill can shrink the bald
eagle preserve to the Wells Bridge (on the Haines Highway)." --from the Chilkat Valley
News, November 3, 2005.

All areas of the Preserve are used by eagles at some time of the year and are essential to
their survival and reproductive success. Please help by opposing any efforts to shrink the
Preserve in the 2006 legislature.

(Additional information from Sari Saunders: The preserve protects river bottom lands of
the Chilkat, Kleheni, and Tsirku Rivers as critical habitat for bald eagles and salmon
populations. The wakes from commercial jet boats are much larger that those of
traditional crafts in the area and can contribute to increased rates of bank erosion. This
damages fish habitat and can cause mortality of salmon eggs and alevin by destroying
streamside vegetation and overhanging banks, increasing stream turbidity, and altering
the stream substrate (e.g., increasing sedimentation). For up-to-date information on this
(potential) legislation and the concerns for the Chilkat reserve, watch the JAS website at:
www.juneau-audubon-society.org and also see the website for Lynn Canal Conservation
at: www.aptalaska.net/~lcc11/.)

DNR weakens habitat protection in the Preserve


In order to protect the purposes set out in the enabling legislation, commercial tours operating in
the Preserve must receive permits from the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation. In June
2005, DNR removed restrictions for commercial jet boat tours, which had been recommended by
ADFG biologists to protect high-value salmon spawning and rearing areas. By allowing the jet
boat tours into sensitive salmon spawning and rearing areas during May and September, it
appears that DNR has abandoned the precautionary management approach that has prevailed in
previous administrations. In July, Lynn Canal Conservation (LCC), Audubon Alaska and others
appealed that decision to the DNR Commissioner. The appeal is still awaiting a decision.
CLIPS FROM THE CONSERVATION COMMITTEE By Sari Saunders
1. Proposed changes to regulations on Mixing Zones – Mixing zones are areas where treated
wastewater (e.g., discharges from sewage treatment or industrial facilities) mix with other bodies of
water, e.g., the ocean, rivers. These effluents generally still have some levels of pollutants and the
discharge into surface waters is permitted through the Department of Environmental Conservation. This
year, the DEC proposed a number of changes to the mixing zone regulations. The Department held
workshops on the proposed changes in late Nov/early Dec. and public comment period ended on Dec.
19, so stay tuned for the response to those comments. One can read about the 2005 proposal for changes
to the regulations, and get other information on mixing zones, applicable law and policy, and previous
workshops at: http://www.dec.state.ak.us/water/wqsar/trireview/mixingzones.htm
The SEACC website also has links to useful information on this topic (www.seacc.org).

2. Birds and wetlands - Issues of bird and habitat management on the Mendenhall wetlands are of
primary interest to JAS members. In the spring the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the
Juneau airport expansion was released. Steve Zimmerman has been following this process for a number
of years and submitted comments on the document on behalf of Juneau Audubon. The issue of increased
bird use of the lands adjacent to the airport, and the safety concerns that presents, are now in the news
(see Juneau Empire Dec. 26 2005). Watch for information about options for bird and risk management
that are expected as outcomes from pending meetings on this topic. (A detailed study of the behavior
of birds near the Juneau Airport, as has been recommended off and on in the past, has yet to be
conducted. JK)

BOARD OF GAME TO RULE ON BALD EAGLE FEEDING By Ed Bailey


Your support is needed for four proposals to amend regulations to add the Bald Eagle to the existing list
of wildlife, such as wolves and coyotes, which are prohibited to be intentionally fed. The Board of
Game will consider this issue at their Anchorage meeting beginning January 26, 2006.
Feeding apex predators like eagles alters their natural distribution, abundance, and behavior. Eagle
feeding by misguided people is a significant problem in Homer, Eagle River, Haines, Sitka, Juneau, and
other coastal communities in southern Alaska. Many eagles lured into residential or commercial areas
for food are electrocuted or fly into power lines. A major winter eagle feeding operation (500 lbs/day)
on the Homer Spit has existed for 26 years and is causing increasingly serious problems. The local
eagle population has risen sharply with counts as high as 650! The burgeoning eagle population is
probably taking an escalating toll on prey species, such as sea ducks and other waterfowl, seabirds,
sandhill cranes, grebes and loons, and sea otter pups. Large artificial concentrations of fed eagles and
other commensal species also increase the likelihood of disease transmission and collisions with aircraft,
which has already occurred at the Homer airport. WHAT YOU CAN DO: Please mail or fax
comments on 8.5x 11-inch paper supporting adoption of Proposals 38, 39, 40, and 43, which all request
making the intentional feeding of wild bald eagles unlawful. Please send comments by January 13 to:
ADF&G P.O. Box 25526 Juneau, AK 99802 Or Fax: 907-465-6094. Also email a copy of your letter to
the Alaska Eagle Watch Network at [email protected] or mail them a copy at P.O. Box
2387, Homer, AK 96603. Oral testimony can be presented at the Board of Game meeting on January
28. To read the proposals go to: http://www.boards.adfg.state.ak.us/gameinfo/meetinfo/2005-
