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 />

Pigeon<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.
