HUNTERS...<br />

WE NEED YOUR WINGS AND TAILS<br />

Grouse <strong>and</strong> mountain quail wings <strong>and</strong> tails provide<br />

ODFW biologist important information about the health<br />

<strong>of</strong> populations. Hunters can help by donating a wing <strong>and</strong><br />

tail from harvested grouse <strong>and</strong> mountain quail.<br />

Hunters participating in this program will be sent wing collection bags <strong>and</strong> instructions<br />

on how to properly submit wings <strong>and</strong> tails. If you would like to assist ODFW in this effort,<br />

please write to: ODFW. 3406 Cherry Ave. NE, Salem, OR 97303, Attn: Dave Budeau or<br />

email to david.a.budeau@state.or.us. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!<br />

Hunters<br />

We Need Your<br />

Help!<br />

As with grouse<br />

<strong>and</strong> quail wings <strong>and</strong><br />

tail fans, important<br />

biological information<br />

can be obtained from b<strong>and</strong>-tailed pigeon<br />

wings. The department works cooperatively<br />

with the USFWS on wing collections from<br />

hunters. We are looking to increase our<br />

sample size for pigeon wings. If you have<br />

not been contacted by the USFWS <strong>and</strong><br />

provided wing envelopes <strong>and</strong> would like to<br />

help, please mail your name <strong>and</strong> mailing<br />

address to Br<strong>and</strong>on Reishus, Migratory <strong>Game</strong><br />

<strong>Bird</strong> Program, ODFW, 3406 Cherry Ave. NE,<br />

Salem, OR 97303. Or send an email<br />

to Br<strong>and</strong>on.s.reishus@state.or.us<br />

Your mailing information will be forwarded to<br />

the USFWS who will send you wing<br />

envelopes <strong>and</strong> instructions on how to<br />

submit wings.<br />

Water Sources<br />

<strong>and</strong><br />

Animal Use<br />

Please be sensitive to the needs <strong>of</strong><br />

wildlife <strong>and</strong> livestock <strong>and</strong> minimize<br />

activities around water sources<br />

that can have impacts on wildlife<br />

<strong>and</strong> livestock, especially during hot<br />

<strong>and</strong> dry weather conditions. For<br />

example, avoid camping at or near<br />

waterholes, springs, guzzlers, <strong>and</strong><br />

other sources <strong>of</strong> water that could<br />

disrupt animal use for extended<br />

periods <strong>of</strong> time. Remember that in<br />

many cases, livestock are constrained<br />

by fences <strong>and</strong> do not have the<br />

option <strong>of</strong> moving to alterative<br />

water sources. Many bird species<br />

are dependent on localized water<br />

sources also.
