Is there anything more entertaining than watching a bird in the birdbath? I don't think so. It is such fun to compare the efforts of the dainty little wrens with the belly-flopping that goes on when the blue jays get in there. We have had the pleasure of seeing a great many birds who don't migrate over the winter and they can keep you interested in spite of whatever else you should be doing (like housework). This year the variety of woodpeckers has been constant, from the red-headed ones to the Nutall's. Then we have the little woodpecker called the nuthatch which runs up and down the oak outside my kitchen window all day long. They are the busiest birds I have ever seen. The titmouses (titmice?) are sometimes a little wary of people, but when I put out the package of suet with nuts in it they decide I'm o.k. The squirrels love the suet packages, too. along the road going down off the ridge and that's where I first saw they - flying across the road. Well, every year since then I have seen them and they have multiplied each year. I now have a flock of about ten gorgeous robin's egg blue mountain bluebirds to look for every spring. What a reward. Then we have the wild turkeys. Who, after all, are also birds. They don't sing, but they carry on a lot of conversation in the yard and garden. And they eat bugs, most of all earwigs, which they dig up and eat. I've only had one problem with the turkeys, who are really just big chickens - they scratch up my Iris labels. I had to get the l5-inch stainless steel labels and push them down into the ground until about three inches was left aboveground. The turkeys haven't managed to get them out yet. I haven't seen the robins yet this year. They are quite comical hopping around with their chests stuck out like Dollly Parton. My mother always claimed that when they called that they were calling for more rain. Another of our faithful winter companions is the junco. They are a variety of sparrow, usually called the dark-eyed junco. They can easily be identified by their glossy black heads All of them have a pink bill. They are widely distributed across North America. I started out talking about birds who don't migrate, but there is one bird that does migrate that has always fascinated me because of its color. About six years ago I realized that I had a pair of mountain bluebirds on my ridge.

Discovery Center has good dirt Special to the DN The Sacramento River Discovery Center is the recipient of the generous donation from Home Depot and Scott���s Fertilizer Company of 100 cubic feet of Supersoil Potting Soil. The SRDC is working with the Community Action Agency���s Garden Box project and the Tehama Together Food Share Programs. Some of this potting soil will be used to start seedlings for the Salsa Gardens and other fruits and vegetables to be donated to the Food Share programs throughout the county. The SuperSoil Potting Soil was delivered to the SRDC by the NVCSS van and was unloaded by Community Service participants of the Juvenile Probation Department. ���This is truly a community project and provides opportunities for a variety of businesses and groups to help others. The soil donation will also assist he SRDC is working on a major propagation project to revitalize the two acre Native plant garden with plants and grasses from this part of the Sacramento River Watershed. ���Many of the grasses are coming from seeds harvested or purchased from area Farms. They are started in trays or plug trays that are placed in the greenhouse until they have an established root system. Later this spring, after we are through with having frosts at night, the seedlings will be planted in the garden. Last year we planted purple needle grass and foothill grass, this year we will be starting four other types of grasses. We are also propagating, from cuttings and divisions, a number of the native plants that are in the garden, commented Bobie Hughes, Volunteer Executive Director. 90 years Courtesy photo Bruce Gray of SRDC and NVCSS delivers soils to help with Community Action Agency and other projects.

They are very nice non-invasive plants, but they are just not ���natives��� to this part of the state. ���With global warming the SRDC wants to be sure that the insects and feathered friends will have food and habitat to remain healthy. If you are interested in having some of the plants please contact the Center. ���You can help us by digging them up yourself and finding them a good home. The SRDC would appreciate a membership or donation to help purchase other plant varieties, but is not required. You will need to bring your own containers. Most plants are dormant at this time and so can be transplanted into the soil immediately without harm, reported Bobie.
