Pika Distribution, Habitat.

Pika distribution may be declining dramatically.
Pikas (Ochotona princeps) are the familiar greeter of alpine talus slopes of the western United States and southwestern Canada. This species’ distribution is presumed to have waxed and waned in response to glacial periods and associated climate change. Now it may be waning five times faster over the past decade than over the previous century, and about 20 times faster than reported for other species.

International Dawn Chorus is May 3
Written by Karel Buckley and Sylvia Brockner   
Apr 15, 2009 at 05:00 PM

This is our 15th year to meet at Evergreen Lake at dawn on the first Sunday in May. Please join us at 5:45 a.m. Sunday, May 3, on the boardwalk. This year we have a special event, the dedication of the Bill Brockner Memorial Bench at 8 a.m.

After the count we will gather inside the new Evergreen Nature Center (in the old warming hut). lease bring a snack to share and your own coffee or hot water in a Thermos with a cup. We have no running water in the Nature Center. This is a change—we will NOT provide hot water or hot coffee. We will provide cream, sugar, tea bags and cocoa mix.

Please call Sylvia at 303-674-4851 or Karel at 303-670-8859 to RSVP and sign up to bring something to share. We look forward to seeing you for the 15th annual International Dawn Chorus.

Our count has included a high of 54 humans on one day and a variety of 51 bird species in the 14 years so far! If you have a scope please bring it along too.

Brockner Bench Dedication
Written by Peggy Durham   
Apr 15, 2009 at 05:00 PM

May 3 at 8 a.m., after Dawn Chorus, we will hold a dedication ceremony of the Brockner Bench on the boardwalk at Evergreen Lake. Bill Brockner always loved Dawn Chorus and never missed this early morning bird watching. The bench given in his memory will be placed on a buildout from the boardwalk in a spot that will allow viewing in all directions.

Please plan to join us for a celebration of Bill’s lifelong enthusiasm for early birding at the lake.
