The Nature Conservancy’s Perdido River

Perdido River Nature Preserve

Q
uietly, step by step, a wonderful new nature preserve is taking shape along the Perdido River.
You may have visited this property even before the Nature Conservancy owned it, but for
those who will be making their first visit to the Preserve, I wanted to share with you a brief
background on how this came to be and what we are working towards.

BRUTAL—How else can one describe the weather this winter?
Who wants to go birding when the wind is howling outside and
the temperature is in the forties? Either that or it’s pouring rain or
threatening to do so. Nonetheless, in spite of a really bad winter so
far (early March), some birders braved the elements and came up with
great birds.
N
LEFTOVERS—The Green-tailed Towhee* and Lark Sparrows
found by the Bob and Lucy Duncan at Ft. Pickens on 1 Nov. continued
to delight birders from near and far through 10 March. Birders from
all over the Southeastern U.S. have come to add this rarity to their
life lists. Based on the amount of internet chatter monitored by Bob
and Lucy Duncan, we would estimate more than 100 birders have seen
the green gem. At the Ft. Walton Beach Spray Fields (FWBSF) the
Vermilion Flycatcher found in early fall continued to thrill observers
as of 4 March. The Say’s Phoebe* also at the FWBSF, continued
through 15 January, last seen by Alex Harper. Alex and Alicia Gerrety
spotted the Pacific Loon* reported earlier in the season at Ft. Pickens
on 10 January.
N
NORTH VENTURE—Six Sandhill Cranes at an overgrown catfish
impoundment in north Escambia County were reported by Max Griggs
on 15 January, and were seen by the Duncans on 8 February. That
same trip rewarded us with 18 Greater White-fronted Geese, 6 of
the declining Rusty Blackbirds* and 21 Brewer’s Blackbirds plus 58
other species. There are avian surprises to be had in the lightly birded
northern areas of our counties.
N
YARD BIRDS—A first year male Western Tanager* visited Greta
and Bill Bremser’s yard in Gulf Breeze 25–28 Jan. Another brightened
David and Chris Forster’s feeder in Pensacola 10–15 February. A
Dickcissel* and an Indigo Bunting were also present in the Bremser’s
yard through 17 February. A male Summer Tanager was a surprise
in Mike Scheller’s yard in Milton on 9 January. Another was at Morris
Clark’s yard in north Pensacola 1–18 January. The guest that came to
stay, the Baltimore Oriole* in Betsy Tetlow’s yard and reported earlier,
continued through 25 February.
N
MYSTERY—The status of Boat-tailed Grackles* in our area
continues to be as much of a mystery as it was in F.M. Weston’s
time. Boat-taileds are found almost exclusively at a small park in
Floridatown with the exceptional few that are infrequently reported
elsewhere. There is no confirmation of breeding, and they are seen
primarily in winter. They are common in the Mobile Delta and in the
Appalachicola area. Our Boat-taileds are light-eyed birds, Alabama’s are

dark-eyed, and the Atlantic coast’s population are light-eyed. Do
the Floridatown grackles breed here? If not, from whence do they
come? They were monitored by Bill Milmore for many years before
his passing, always at the Floridatown location. Lucy and I found
24 there on 19 January, all males, creating another puzzle, and
Larry Goodman found 5 males there 25 February.
N
FIELD TRIP—On a cold, crisp but clear 13 February, Peggy
Baker and Jan Lloyd led the F.M. Weston Audubon Society field
trip into the wilds of Blackwater State Forest, where some of us
had not ever ventured before. Underneath long distance Gulf
Power transmission lines were unending rows of planted millet,
which attracted sparrows by the hundreds. As we walked the rows
of stubble we flushed dozens of Chipping, Song, Field, Vesper,
Swamp, White-throated and Grasshopper Sparrows. If you’re
into sparrows, or want to learn sparrows, that’s the place to be.
N
MISCELLANEOUS—At the Fort Walton Beach Spray Fields I
found a Yellow Warbler* on 11 January, providing a first local
record for that month. James Pfeiffer found a Lark Sparrow in
Pensacola on 18 February. I found a first cycle Glaucous Gull*
near Milton on 18 February. A rare Arctic visitor, it was about the
eighteenth area record. As I write this, the skies are peppered
with returning Purple Martins, a few Green Herons have
returned from the tropics, and a few White-eyed Vireos that
either wintered or just arrived are starting to sing. By time the

Tripping through Nature with Gwen Frostic By Ann Forster

I
have been lucky enough to have discovered some small but beautiful books by a Michigan woman named Gwen Frostic. She

literally created these books—the art, the poetry, even the paper itself. The one I am reading now is named Beyond Time. The

opening page resonated with me because we have just hosted some birding friends from Washington State whose comments

reminded me to appreciate what we still have. Here is her introductory poem:

ARMCHAIR BIRDING
J
oan and I were in Mexico recently, hasten-
ing the spring after too long a winter. Our
favorite place here for doing nothing, or
nearly nothing, is Ajijic, a colorful village
on Lake Chapala, forty miles south of Gua-
dalajara. It’s usually filled with American
and Canadian émigrés, but the annual influx of snowbirds
hasn’t tarnished its native charm, probably because the émi-
grés soon enough fall under that charm, stuffing their bags
with native folklore and turquoise jewelry, and their straw
baskets with fresh fruit from the mercado.
We always stay at Los Artistas, a six-room posada with
a large, luxuriant garden, enclosed by high walls and
flowering shrubbery, and a burbling fountain that creates
its focus—and draws the birds. As we arrived two ladies,
encumbered with binoculars, bird books and cameras, were
stalking its perimeter. Then they noticed me. One was from
Detroit, I learned, and the other from Toronto, and they had
met there, in the garden, while searching the flowers for
hummers. And it seemed they were beginners, determined to
turn our migrant warblers and orioles into Mexican species.
“That’s an Altamira Oriole, right?”
“Uh, no. It’s a Hooded. Altamira’s larger.”
The lady from Detroit put down her cigarette. Funny, a
birder looking through binoculars smoking a cigarette, I
can’t remember ever having seen that before. “Look at those
bitty birds pecking at those big pods!”
“Lesser Goldfinches.”
I didn’t have binoculars, and had to fall back on ‘naked-
eye’ birding, an interesting challenge, as well as a vexing
disadvantage when being tested by well-equipped amateurs.

“Are you sure?”
“Well, pretty sure, yes.”
“What about that
little brown bird, bobbing
through the grass?”
“A wren, I believe.”
“What kind?”
“A Happy Wren.” Of course I couldn’t say for sure, but it
seemed happy enough.
“Happy?”
“Wouldn’t you be?”
The fountain continued to draw in birds, and from the
comfort of my lounge chair, I found myself wondering who
the first really lazy birder might have been, who devised
a scheme for bringing the birds to him, rather than the
other way ‘round. Or maybe it’s the kind of thing we
learn automatically with age, as the love for adventure
is being replaced by a gradually growing appreciation for
the familiar. I guess it’s why Joan and I come back to this
quiet spot, where we can walk to restaurants and shops,
read our books, and watch the birds splashing in the
fountain.
The younger folk at Los Artistas were dashing here and
there, making plans for dinner, reservations and appoint-
ments for whatever, trying to take in as much color and
culture as their short stays allowed outside our garden
wall. But we’re content to stay inside and let the people
with their entertaining stories and their daily adven-
tures—and the birds—come to us.

Forty years after the first Earth Day, climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. It also
presents the greatest opportunity—an unprecedented opportunity to build a healthy, prosperous,
clean-energy economy now and for the future. Earth Day 2010 can be a turning point to advance
climate policy, energy efficiency, renewable energy and green jobs. And Earth Day can begin with
our own personal commitments to reuse, recycle, and reduce all forms of waste from plastic bottles
to grocery bags and energy consumption. Local Earth Day Celebrations will be on April 22 and 24.
