Wintering ground surveys happening this month! Biologists will be counting waterfowl in low-flying planes in Oregon and Washington. Since 1935 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state wildlife agencies have conducted the Midwinter Waterfowl Survey across the nation. Surveys include low altitude flights over concentrations of waterfowl across a large portion of each state. Visitors to National Wildlife Refuges in Oregon and Washington should be aware that low-flying aircraft likely have a biologist or two inside, counting the ducks and geese below. The survey provides information on population trends, distribution on the wintering grounds, and habitat use. For more information about the Midwinter Waterfowl Survey please visit: http://bit.ly/1wQ3s0g

Check out the differences in snow cover. While we're still below average for snow pack in our area, 2015 is starting out with more snow cover than 2014 did. Let's hope for more snow in the next few months! Satellite images courtesy: http://ge.ssec.wisc.edu/modis-today/
2014 is the warmest year on record for the Medford airport using daily average temperatures. Fun fact... The coldest temperature ever recorded on earth by human observers was -128 degrees in Antarctica .
And while the northern hemisphere takes a break from fires, fire season is well under way in places like Australia where in temperatures of 112F, this rampant bushfire is blanketing the City of Adelaide in thick smoke.

FCE (Family and Community Education) Meetings are the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 9:30. Meetings are open to all. We have a pot luck each month along with the lessons presented by a member. For the location and directions to the next meeting, please call Sandie Bolyard at 541-892-2336. Locally, FCE raises money for college scholarships for our Chiloquin High School Seniors. Money is raised through fund-raising projects such as a Thanksgiving turkey dinner fixings raffle with tickets being sold at Kirchers Hardware; Christmas Boutique at the Chiloquin Community Center; Kaleidoscope of Learning at Mazama High School in Klamath Falls. We are very active in our community and you will find FCE volunteers at many local events. Oregon FCE is a non-profit organization of volunteers who have worked on such issues as improving sanitary requirements in hospitals, women’s labor laws, requirements for high school teachers, and funding for the state library. Nationally, we began the school hot lunch program and pushed for bookmobile libraries. FCE asked for and got money from the legislature to fund an OSU research study on the dental caries problem in Oregon. We’ve studied our county governments and monitored their activities; worked on county and state fair boards to improve their quality; sponsored programs on rural road safety, farm safety, home safety, bike safety, Defensive Driving courses, campaigns to get the drunk drivers off the road, and child seatbelt laws. Current educational programs focus on the environment, children and television, literacy, and global issues. Current concerns include addressing the growing need for food banks, for shelters for the homeless, and for reducing the violence against women and children. Oregon FCE members donate thousands of volunteer hours and dollars to these causes.

Chiloquin Branch Library - The library has many ways to get involved and many fun ways to contribute to your local community. Some opportunities: 1. Story time: If you would like to read two or three stories to a small group or preschoolers, and lead them in a simple craft or activity, the library staff can use your help 2. Summer Reading Program: There are many opportunities during the summer to help out with this very worthwhile program. 3. Honor collections: these are racks of paperback books, magazines and audiovisual materials that patrons may check out without a library card. By offering these collections, more people in the community can be reached and a greater diversity of materials can be made available without incurring the costs of cataloging and processing items for the general collections. The staff would like to have some help in keeping these racks orderly, attractive and relevant. Check with the librarian for information on how to “adopt a rack”. 4. Help with sorting donations. 5. Go through Books for Sale section and tidy it once a month or so. Stop in at the library and see what they need or give them a call at 541-783-3315.
