The Fremont-Winema National Forest’s Lakeview Ranger District firefighters are burning about 1,000 ac. near Drews Reservoir, approximately 20 west of Lakeview. As weather, vegetation moisture, temperatures and all other conditions allow, this prescribed burn may continue for the next couple of weeks. We post all South Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership (SCOFMP) prescribed burns and wildfires on Facebook (FB). This FB page often is updated before you receive a news release. I encourage you to check it out! https://www.facebook.com/scofmpfireinfo AND twitter https://twitter.com/scofmpfireinfo. Fire is a natural and essential part of a healthy forest. Without it, the landscape becomes overcrowded with vegetation and more vulnerable to attacks by insects and disease, increasing the risk of catastrophic wildfire along with intensifying the danger and threatening the safety of firefighters. Prescribed fire is one way to help reduce these risks, burning in a controlled way. SCOFMP includes: Fremont-Winema National Forest Service (Public lands within the Klamath and Lake County areas) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lakeview District (Public lands within the Klamath and Lake County areas) Oregon Department of Forestry (Lake and Klamath Districts) US Fish and Wildlife Service (Sheldon-Hart Mtn. Wildlife Refuge) Crater Lake National Park http://scofmp.org/index.html
Yreka, CA — Permits for the 2015 spring mushroom harvesting season on the Goosenest and Happy Camp/Oak Knoll Ranger Districts are now available. Permits allow harvesters to pick in varying amounts. Four consecutive days permits are set at a value of $20 with each additional consecutive day just $5. Monthly (30 consecutive days) permits are $50 and a permit for the entire season is $100. The spring mushroom season ends July 31, 2015. In order to ensure the sustainability of spring mushroom harvest, each permit has additional conditions and restrictions intended to regulate harvest. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to read and understand those conditions. Permits may be obtained weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Goosenest Ranger District, 37805 Highway 97 Macdoel, CA 96058 and the Happy Camp/Oak Knoll Ranger District, 63822 Highway 96, Happy Camp, CA 96039. Harvesting wild mushrooms is a popular outdoor family activity. Please take safety precautions when venturing out in the woods. Consider weather and road conditions before travelling. Let someone know where you intend on picking and remember that cell phone coverage is limited in many areas of the forest. Additional information regarding mushroom harvesting, camping or fire restrictions is available by calling the Goosenest Ranger District, at (530) 398-4391 or the Happy Camp Ranger District at (530) 493-2243.

This week for Chiloquin from NOAA:
From the US National Weather Service Medford Oregon An area of high pressure is expected to linger over Southern Oregon and Northern California, and this will bring plenty of sunshine over the weekend and into early next week. This will allow the pattern of warm temperatures to continue with highs reaching nearly 20 degrees above normal for this time of year! Our next change in weather is expected to arrive on Wednesday which will bring in cloud cover and lower temperatures closer to normal. Rain chances will increase on Wednesday into Thursday, but it is too early to tell just how much rain to expect.
The March 1st Water Outlook Report has arrived and the Rogue/Umpqua Basin snowpack is at record low levels. We set new temperature records on Friday in Mount Shasta City, CA and Klamath Falls, OR. We also tied the record high in Roseburg, OR. Mount Shasta City, reached 70 degrees which breaks the old record of 69 degrees set in 1979. Klamath Falls reached 65 degrees which broke the record of 64 set in 2005. Roseburg reached 70 degrees which ties the record set in 1979.
The Climate Prediction Center issued an El Niño advisory on Friday. This means that weak El Niño conditions are being observed in the Pacific Ocean. Although El Niño conditions generally help bring storms to the west coast, Southern Oregon and Northern California are located in an area where there is not much correlation between a weak El Niño and our weather. The forecasting trend for March is expected to be rather dry, but the Climate Prediction Center is predicting equal chances for above normal precipitation as well as below normal and normal precipitation for April, May, and June. Even if we were to get above normal precipitation during this time frame, the expected warm weather trend will make it difficult to accumulate significant snow pack in the mountains. For more information on the El Niño conditions, visit the Climate Prediction Center's webpage at http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/.

But it’s a different matter in the east….. HANOVER, Pa. (WHTM) – Think you’ve had it up to your neck with snow? Try being one of the bald eagles at Codorus State Park. The eagles took dedication and parenting to a whole new level Thursday as several inches of snow covered their nest near Lake Marburg. As the snow piled higher, one of the eagles remained on the nest and the pair’s two eggs – even when everything was covered but the bird’s head. The Pennsylvania Game Commission, which placed a camera at the nest and has a live stream on its website, assures us that the eagles and their eggs will be just fine. Bald eagles nest as far north as Maine, Alaska and Canada and begin nesting as early as January. Hang in there, eagles. Those eggs should hatch in two or three weeks. The Game Commission’s eagle live stream can be found at www.pgc.state.pa.us.

Owls, hawks, eagles, & falcons are all "predators". So just like human predators (& cougars, wolves, bears, etc.) their eyes are forward facing so they can look at an object with both eyes at the same time giving them the depth perception they need to hunt. Unlike us though, their eyes do not move from side to side in the socket. They are actually held pretty much in place by bony structures in the skull. So these birds have to move their entire heads to get a good look around. An owl has a field of view of about 110 degrees without moving its head. Humans have a field of view of 180 degrees without moving our heads because our eyes can move from side to side. Now compare that to a woodcock (definitely not a predator) whose eyes are placed on the sides of its head giving these birds an amazing 360 degree field of vision at any one time.

Sandhill Cranes are already making themselves known in the region again. We are lucky here in the Basin because not only are we on the Pacific Flyway (a migratory route), but we are also on the southern edge of their nesting grounds. These wonderful birds have a lifespan of 20-40 years. They mate for life & stay with their mate year-round. When migrating they typically cover 200-300 miles a day, but with a good tailwind can approach 500 miles. Did you know birds do NOT have vocal cords (or a larynx/voicebox)? So how do they make all those wonderful & unique sounds? They have instead what is called a syrinx which is just a distended area at the lower end of the trachea/windpipe. The syrinx is made up of bony-cartilage with a membranous wall that can vibrate. It's surrounded by muscles that the bird uses to put tension on the syrinx. The more muscles the bird has the more sounds it can make. By changing the air pressure coming from the lungs & the tension put on the syrinx by the surrounding muscles, birds control their loudness & pitch. The vulture that has NO syrinx at all & can only hiss, wheeze, & kind of roar. Songbirds by comparison have a syrinx with 5-7 pairs of syrinx muscles. I was hoping to get some video of our Ambassador Turkey Vulture, Dexter, demonstrating this hiss, but apparently he likes us all now & won't hiss at us.
Another eagle cam. If you haven't checked out the EagleCam lately be sure to take a peek. This is serious parental dedication. Basically the nest is a snow drift right now. http://hdontap.com/index.php/video/stream/bald-eagle-live-cam#.VOJhhWUIRR4.wordpress And from USFWS National Wildlife Refuge System: Even eagles love taking baths: http://on.fb.me/1EMKsm7 Amazing video by Sasse Photo by Sasse

Free Entertainment March 6th The Story of Esther – Veggie Tales Version – Sprague River Style By La Vaughn Kemnow The Sprague River Community Theater will once more, with local talent, procuce a play for the benefit of the community, at 6:30 P.M. on Friday, March 6th. One major difference from previous productions is that while in the past they have been at the Friends Church, this one will be at the Sprague River Community Center, so you might want to mark that on your calendar. Although these productions are free to all who want to come, donations would be very much appreciated to help defray the cost of costumes, scenery and space rent. However, if that kind of assistance is beyond your budget, or for any other reason you don't wish to donate at this time—please don't let that keep you from coming! There is nothing more gratifying for the actors, from the very young to the very old, to play to a packed house. And, as always, this dedicated cast of characters is so small that many are required to play more than one part. Anyone, children or adults, who would like to be involved with this determined little band of thespians, whether with acting, costumes, artwork or other kinds of help, please let us know.
St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Tuesday, March 17th at the Sprague River Community Center From 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm On the Menu: Corned beef (slow cooked and TENDER!), cabbage, potatoes, rye bread, and beverages $5 Help us raise funds for the annual Sprague River Pioneer Day.

Oregon FCE is a non-profit organization of volunteers who have worked on such issues as improving sanitary requirements in hospitals, women’s labor laws, requirements for high school teachers, and funding for the state library. Nationally, we began the school hot lunch program and pushed for bookmobile libraries. FCE asked for and got money from the legislature to fund an OSU research study on the dental caries problem in Oregon. We’ve studied our county governments and monitored their activities; worked on county and state fair boards to improve their quality; sponsored programs on rural road safety, farm safety, home safety, bike safety, Defensive Driving courses, campaigns to get the drunk drivers off the road, and child seatbelt laws. Current educational programs focus on the environment, children and television, literacy, and global issues. Current concerns include addressing the growing need for food banks, for shelters for the homeless, and for reducing the violence against women and children. Oregon FCE members donate thousands of volunteer hours and dollars to these causes.

Chiloquin Branch Library - The library has many ways to get involved and many fun ways to contribute to your local community. Some opportunities: 1. Story time: If you would like to read two or three stories to a small group or preschoolers, and lead them in a simple craft or activity, the library staff can use your help 2. Summer Reading Program: There are many opportunities during the summer to help out with this very worthwhile program. 3. Honor collections: these are racks of paperback books, magazines and audiovisual materials that patrons may check out without a library card. By offering these collections, more people in the community can be reached and a greater diversity of materials can be made available without incurring the costs of cataloging and processing items for the general collections. The staff would like to have some help in keeping these racks orderly, attractive and relevant. Check with the librarian for information on how to “adopt a rack”. 4. Help with sorting donations. 5. Go through Books for Sale section and tidy it once a month or so. Stop in at the library and see what they need or give them a call at 541-783-3315.
