The President's Pen
by Marilyn Patterson
In loday's highly technical, mechanized world , we pride
ourselves in our ability to access most of life's comforts
and/or necessities through fingertip technology. We seem
to have achieved the ultimate fast track existence in our
almost frantic efforts to avoid ,.the crowded mainstream
that threatens daily to swamp our little individual crafts.
Not only do we tend to avoid unnecessary crowd~ at all
costs but social caution dictates that we even heSitate to
allow' casual interaction with most individuals. We feel
awkward siHing in an empty seat beside strangers or even
making eye contact with them. How unfortunate for us!! A
simple phYSiological fact is that, of all creatures, humans
were most designed to need and respond to social contact.
On some level we need to touch and be touched whether
it's a physical pat on the back, or psychological hug shown
through a smile of genuine friendship and acceptance. We
thrive on exchanges of plans. ideas, celebrations,
empathies, and sympathies. A primary goal ?f all Audub?n
organizations is to foster a healthy e.nvlronment wl.th
specific emphasis on birds and their ~a~ltats. The tru!h.IS,
however, that a healthy environment IS Vital to every hvmg
thing . Birds just happen to be our measuring stick. Our
monthly meetings offer an excellent forum for. the

General Meeting - December 14, 2000
A Kenya Bird Safari with David Wolf
Come join us at 7:30pm for a delightful evening with D.avid
Wolf David is a senior member of the staff at Victor
Emanuel Nature Tours, and is an experienced birding tour
leader. After birding in the U.S. and Mexico for over 10
years, he went to Africa in 1975 to pursue his interest in
mammals. After more than a year there, he returned to
Texas and began leading bird tours. His excellent birding
skills are complemented by a wide-ranging interest in all
facets of natural history. David now lives in Nacogdoches
with his wife, son and daughter.

Field Trips
Fort Worth Audubon Society Field Trips are open to all,
members and nonmembers, beginners to world-class
birders . We especially want to encourage and welcome
first time birders to come on our local trips in the Fort Worth
area. These trips are an excellent way to get started
learning the birds and the best locations and seasons to
find them . There are always people on these trips who are
willing and able to answer any question about birds. We try
to help everyone see all the birds we find. We have .dozens
of extra binoculars for those who may need them. JUst call
ahead to ask.

..... RBA:. 10/11/00: A nonbreeding plumaged Bobolink was found at Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant Dallas,
Dallas Co. Tuesday on 10-0ctober. The single bird was found in a flock of Dickcissels and was not found later in the
day. The immature Red-necked ,Phalarope was still present in the first pond next to the HQ building.
10/15/00: The non breeding plumaged Red Phalarope that was found on 12-0ctober and was seen through 13-0ctober
at Hagerman NWR Grayson Co. Was not relocated today Sunday 1S-0ct. Shorebirds numbers are still high there. The
highlight of the day was a Snowy Plover. A report of a Red-breasted Nuthatch was received today Sunday 15
October from a private residence in Arlington Tarrant Co. Peregrine Falcons were reported from Lake Grapevine
Denton Co. and Lake Tawakoni Rains Co. Sunday is-October
10/25/00: An adult Black-throated Blue Warbler was reported from the White Rock Fish Hatchery in Dallas on the
Saturday 21-0ctober.
10/29/00 A Sage Thrasher was found west of Cleburne on Saturday 2B-October.
11/6/00: Three Whooping Cranes were seen in a flock of Sandhill Cranes cruising over Lake Worth in Tarrant County
this morning Monday 6-November.
TEXBIRDS: 10/25/00: This afternoon about 1:1S my wife and I saw a female Calliope Hummingbird feeding on the
Turks Cap in our backyard in Commerce (in Hunt County). I got two photos just before it left. This bird was so small
that I almost passed it off as a moth or some insect. I maintained a vigil all afternoon though I haven't seen it since. My
pies were taken through the screen on the window so I just hope that they come out. If not , our details will have to
document the bird. This was a TINY little hummingbird with a delicate thin bill, flecking in the throat, buff on the sides
and a green back. It was MUCH smaller than a Ruby-throat or even a Rufous type. I don't know of any other records
for this general area . Matt White.
11/6100: In case someone, somewhere in the vast world of cyberspace is keeping track of such things, I had two (and
probably three) more first year Sabine's Gulls at Lake Tawakoni on Saturday November 4. I had two birds at once in
the scope for extended periods of time, and I strongly suspect that a distant bird was a separate individual. They had
the annoying habit of resting on the water for extended periods of time which made them very hard to find. I looked for
them again on Sunday and saw no sign of them or the flock that they were with so I'll bet the deluge we witnessed over
the weekend dropped them in and then perhaps they departed as soon as the weather cleared. Matt White.
11/6/00: About 2:30 p.m. today, Monday, we had 800-1000 Sandhill Cranes fly over our house in Arlington. They were
high , but we heard them first. We weren't outside eariier, so don't know if there were any before that. Nancy Highgate,

FWAS Bird Sanctuary at Botanical Gardens
Did you know that in the early 1950's, the Botanic Gardens set
aside an area designated as abird sanctuary at the request of the
then young Ft Worth Audubon Society? Marilyn was recently
contacted by someone from the Bolanic Gardens who had found
a brief nolalion in their history records mentioning this. They
wanted more information about our part, some names
and details of involvment, and if possible some suggestions from
us as to the care and any' special provisions such a sanctuary
mighl need. If anyone has knowledge of this please contact
Marilyn Patterson. In conjunction with tha~ our members have
been invited to attend the Botanic Gardens annual Birds'
Christmas Tree celebration on December 2, a111:oo am. It will
last about an hour. It will be held in the.Grove area just beyond the
Caclus Garden. Parking is available in front of the Japanese
Garden.
Special thanks to Martin Reid
Once again, our intrepid friend, Martin,
has saved us from a crisis. When our
scheduled speaker for our November
meeting didn't appear (is this the first
time this has happened in our 60-year
history???), Martin produced an excellent program
on birds and birding on the islands off the coast of
Chile. Truth to tell, we probably enjoyed an even
better program than we would have otherwise/
Thanks, Martin, once again for all the things you
do for us!
THE TRAVEL CORNER· by Abhay Anello
While in Costa Rica this past July, I revisited the
highlands of the Cordillera de Talamanca to look for
the Resplendent Quetzal. The Savegre Mountain
Lodge sits in a lovely valley with the Savegre River
running through it. It is surrounded by apple
orchards and beautiful mountain scenery at an
elevation of 7200 feet.
Though the Resplendent Quetzal was not found on
this trip, many area specialties were. There are a
variety of hummingbird species in the highlands of
Costa Rica. We were lucky enough to see
Magnificent Hummingbird, Green-crowned Brilliant,
the tiny Scintillant Hummingbird, Gray-tailed
Mountain-gem, Volcano Hummingbird, and Green
Violet-ear. The Slaty Flowerpiercer, who gets nectar
by piercing the side of a flower with the hooked tip of
its upper mandible, was interesting to watch.
After catching a ride partway up the mountainSide,
we birded this higher area before birding our way
down to the lodge. The amble down yielded
such species as the endearing Collared Redstart
who is considered a friend of man by the residents
here,
Sooty-capped
Brush-tanager,
Paltry
Flycatcher, Sooty Robin, Yellow-thighed FinCh , and
Mountain Robin. One of the memorable highlights of
this walk was the stunning Flame-throated Warbler.
This species was quite tame and allowed long and
close looks of its behavior and beauty.
Back at the lodge and from the porch we were able
to revisit some of the area specialties of
hummingbirds, robins , and flycatchers . A Black
cowled Oriole made an appearance and stayed long
enough for good looks at its field marks. We learned

environment.
who shows up in the highlands occasionally.
A walk on the lodge grounds yielded the lovely Long
tailed Silky-flycatcher, Ruddy Treerunner, Rufous
collared Sparrow, Yellow-faced Grassquit, and Blue
gray Tanager among others. As we were preparing
to leave the lodge for our next destination, a Flame
colored Tanager appeared.lt was a breathtaking
ending to a magical highland experience.

On the longer trips we arrange for local meeting
places where we encourage everyone to carpool.
This helps prevent vehicle overcrowding in the field.
saves gas expenses and most importantly is a good
way to get to know your fellow birders. Don't let bad
weather deter you. Often the best birding is in the
worst weather. Miser~ble conditions certainly build
camaraderie. Come prepared. Warm weather trips
may bring out mosquitoes, chiggers, etc. Bring along
food and water because lunch is always in the field.
If you have any questions e-mail Sheridan Coffey at

FORT WORTH AUDUBON CHRISTMAS COUNT 2000
For the sixtieth year in a row, Fort Worth Auduboners will be rolling out early on the morning of December 16, 2000, to
take part in the annual National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count. Our count has an unbroken history stretching
back to 1941.
This exciting day of intensive birding, all done within a 7.5-mile-radius circle in western Tarrant County, always
produces some surprises. We've done 'em wet, dry, cold, warm, windy, snowy, cloudy, and clear. One year not long ago
we had Christmas Counters with icicles in their moustaches.
Some Christmas Counters become local celebrities with their discoveries, and we have made some significant
contributions.to the knowledge of bird distribution with our accumulated data. At the end of the day, we get together at
6 p.m . at Luby's Cafeteria at 251 University Drive a few blocks north of West 7th Street to warm up, count down, and
sit around, enjoying some good food and company.
Some count routes are mostly walking, some are mostly driving. Most of them are a mix of both. W hy not take a look
at the list, call some of the leaders, and become a part of this genuinely fun and useful annual birding activity? We look
forward to seeing youl
