We’ve hosted some Audubon visitors this summer including David Anderson, the execu-
Malcolm Harpham tive director of Audubon of Florida. He did 3 days of good birding in our favorite haunts including
Elaine Jacobson
Petit Manaan and Great Wass Island. It was interesting for him to be around so many young war-
blers. He did alert us to the good news about U.S. Sugar and the state purchase of the Everglades
Dale McGinley Agricultural Area. This should restart everglades restoration – many thanks to those of you who
Brian Mishell have emailed and written letters in support of restoration. This purchase comes just in time to help
redirect the Big O waters south rather than west to the Caloosahatchee at the wrong time for our
Jean Reuther estuary in southwest Florida. Now we have to keep the focus to the west of Sanibel for possible
Hugh Verry new oil drilling and consequences.

Finally, I’d like to thank all of our board members for the excellent job they do so willingly.
I can assure you that we will have a fine program set up for the 2009(!) season because of their efforts. Thanks also
to Tom Rothman our resigning Treasurer and board member for his work on the “books.”

Best wishes to all of you and see you in October at Bailey Days and Ding
Darling Days and on the trails.

P.S. A few good reads to pass on for the summer:

Pigeons by Andrew Bleckman; The Verb to Bird by Peter Cashwell, and most of all
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver which Chris has chosen as her new
“ Gideon Bible” to share with friends. She passed out 20 copies so far. It was fun
to read about Ginny and Wendell Kingsolver’s role in Barbara’s life on the farm. If
you see them at one of our Audubon programs in January – ask about secret as-
paragus patches!

About 90% of the state’s

comes from the Keys.
The catch has been de-

years and much of this
loss is attributed to algae

Audubon 2008 Legislative Session Final Report

. Many thanks to our members for strong grassroots lobbying support through phone calls, meetings, letters and emails. Grass-
roots efforts in many ways made the difference. Brief summary of results includes:
 Florida Forever extends $300 million per year for 10 years. Special thanks to Sen. Burt Saunders.
 Clean Oceans Act – forces gambling vessels to treat rather than dump onboard sewage.
 Leah Schad Memorial Ocean Outfall Program – bans new ocean outfalls (partially treated sewage) and requires existing
outfalls to first use advanced treatment and ultimately reuse water. Bill named after the late Leah Schad, longtime Audu-
bon leader and board member.
 Everglades Bonds and Fl Keys Wastewater bonds – extend the authority to use the sale of up to $100 million per year for
10 years for Everglades restoration and adds funds for Keys wastewater program.
 Seagrass Protection and Seagrass Mitigation Banks – allows enforcement against intentional harm to seagrass in aquatic
preserves.
 Energy – requires electric power utilities to work with their customers to reduce demand through conservation. Also en-
dorses a cap-and-trade program for green house gases and creates incentives for renewable energy.
Unfortunately, the Spring Protection bill did not pass; but fortunately, through the hard work of Audubon policy and grassroots
chapter members, several bills that preempted local environmental, fertilizer, mining, and development laws also did not pass.
Again, many thanks for your efforts.

members, features an excellent story describing how the decline
in the number of nesting spoonbills in Florida Bay may well indi-
cate the bay's potential ecological collapse. Thanks to the
strength and credibility of Audubon science staff, lead researcher
Dr. Jerry Lorenz and his staff in particular, we have the data to
make a case to move more water into northeast Florida through
the C-111 canal. Audubon is asking that ecological metrics be
used to measure the response of the system to more water.
Robert Porter Allen likened spoonbills to “orchids taking
wing.” According to Jerry Lorenz, it is hard not to feel con-
nected to spoonbills. According to Jerry, “every time a spoonbill
flies overhead, it seems to turn and look right at you – like a nod
from an old friend.” I doubt that there is a Sanibel or Captiva
islander who is not connected to spoonbills.

The Young Birder’s Guide to Birds of Eastern

North America by Bill Thompson III, Houghton Mif-
flin, 2008, 256 pages, $14.95 paperback
This clearly written, well illustrated, beautifully put-together
field guide was written for 8-12 year olds but will appeal to begin-
ning birders of all ages. Providing just the right amount of informa-
tion to be useful and fun, this Petersen Field Guide is loaded with
color photographs, drawings, interesting facts, and range maps that
kids can use on their own without help from an adult. This lively
guide combines the talents of Bill Thompson, editor of Birder
Watcher’s Digest, his wife Julie Zickefoose artist, and advice from
his 11 year old daughter Phoebe’s class on what would make the
book most helpful for kids. Each of the 200 most common and inter-
esting birds in eastern North America is described on a full page
packed with information. Each species page contains one or two
photos of the bird in typical plumages along with a drawing by Julie
Zickefoose showing an interesting behavior or characteristic of the
bird. Also included on each species page are four sections: ―Look
for‖ containing important visual cues and field marks; ―Listen for‖
describing vocalizations made; ―Remember‖ including key points to
keep in mind when identifying the species such as other easily con-
fused species, juvenile patterns, or comments on gizz; and ―Find it‖
pointing out geographic and range information. Then there is the
―Wow‖ comment included in a circle in every species account giving
a single particularly interesting fact about the bird.
The beginning of the book contains an excellent introduc-
tion addressing such important topics as ―Getting started in bird
watching.‖ ―Identification Basics,‖ ―Field Skills,‖ ―Birding Man-
ners,‖ and ―Birding By Habitat.‖ Thompson also includes two top
ten lists: ―Ten things you can do for birds‖ and ―Ten tips for begin-
ning bird watchers.‖ This easy to use, informative, attractive book is
a WOW!

SCCF NEWS
A note from SCCF Seasonal Technician Cara Faillance
Hello everyone,
As this is my last day of work for this season (I will be return-
ing sometime in mid/late February), I wanted to be sure to give
you all a summary of our season (which has not quite con-
cluded).
We had 10 nests this year, 8 of which hatched. Nests 3, 4, and 5 all fledged 1 chick each, for a total of 3 fledglings.
Nests 6, 8, and 10 currently have 2, 1, and 1 chick respectively on the east end. The two chicks from nest 6 are 30 days old today
and should fledge any day now, while the chick from nest 8 is two days younger than them. The chick from nest 10 is 2.5 weeks
old. All three broods are currently located in the stretch of beach from Summer of 42 to the Sanibel Inn.
There is also a post-breeding season flock hanging out in the same area, which has consistently contained about 9-13 plovers.
Thank you all for your assistance in monitoring the plovers this year and I hope to see you all next winter!

LEE COUNTY BIRD PATROL TOUR SCHEDULE FROM THE TOP-OF-THE-WORLD

Visit some of the best birding spots in Lee County with members of
the Lee County Bird Patrol on their monthly tours. These volunteers lend
their time in hopes of sharing the beauty of these locales and the impor-
tance of preserving these birding spots to maintain the delicate ecological
balance in our area of paradise.
LAKES REGIONAL PARK
The first Saturday of each month, Bird Patrol offers a choice of two
separate tours at Lakes Regional Park, 7330 Gladiolus Dr., Fort Myers, Flor-
ida. The Walking Tour gives nature lovers a chance to view wading birds as
well as visit habitat that holds large numbers of passerines. On easy walking
paths, the guides will lead you through native vegetation, much of it planted
to encourage birds and butterflies. The Canoe Tour takes participants along
the rookery islands to enjoy an excellent view of the habitat that is the origi-
nal home for so many Lee County wading birds. Tours start promptly at 8:30
AM. Tours are free with paid parking. Participants in the Walking Tour or the
Canoe Tour are requested to register by calling (239)533-7440 or by register-
ing online at www.leeparks.org.
DATES for Lakes Regional Park Canoe Tour and Walking Tour : Sep-
tember 6, October 4, November 1, December 6. (Canoe Tour for the Nov.
tour is offered in celebration of Calusa Blueway Paddling Festival and will
probably fill up quickly. Please register early.)
BUNCHE BEACH
Bunche Beach is a bird paradise that has become a real birding hot
spot. Not only does it provide a haven for our local shorebirds but it acts as a
vital resting and foraging stopover for thousands of migrants. Expect to get
your feet wet as Bird Patrol guides identify many of those peeps that can be
so challenging!
Tours start at 8 AM. Tours are free and, at this writing, parking is free. Dates
are determined with tides in mind. Call 239-707-3015 if more information is
needed. Bunche Beach Tours are: September 20, October 18, October 25,
November 15, December 1. (Oct.25 us a special birding tour offered in cele-
bration of Calusa Blueway Paddling Festival. Nov. is a special birding tour
offered in honor of National Estuaries Celebration, plus, in honor of the last
weekend of Calusa Blueway Paddling Festival)
So grab your bins, a bottle of water and some sunscreen and join
us for some fun in our birding paradise!
For updates to this schedule or for more information concerning birding and
Bird Patrol, please go to www.birdpatrol.org.
Our friend David McIntyre, who lives in Crow’s Nest Pass,
Alberta, Canada, writes of a recent trip to Glacier National
Park. He sent several spectacular photos, one of which is
included
here to
remind
those of
us wilt-
ing in
south-
ern heat
and
humid-
ity, that
there
are still
such places. A reluctantly small snippet of his usual erudite
prose follows:
“Yesterday we wrapped up our fleeting escape with an off-
trail scramble to the crest of the ridge dividing the Hidden
Lake cirque from Sperry Glacier/Avalanche Lake. That day
produced some real top-of-the-world vistas, all dramatically
enhanced by bright sunshine and a cobalt sky.
I've long wondered about, - and looked for a
pygmy amid the (...meep, meep, meep) plethora of ever-
present red-breasted nuthatches (and the lesser numbers of
white-breasted nuthatches). And, knowing that we’re on
the doorstep of the pygmy’s described range, I've been hop-
ing that a maverick few might have decided to ‘jump the
divide,’ so to speak.
We saw only one golden eagle, two bears (a classic
black, and an ambling grizzly), three French hens …
woops ..sorry about that last entry - and more. How much
more? Well, white-tailed ptarmigan, a pentad of very heavy-
of-horn big-horn rams and an undetermined number of un-
horned hoary marmots (some whistling). The list goes on …
and on.”
