Late Issue of News . I owe our readers an apology for the
delay in this Issue. After an original delay planned to report
the Carbondale meeting there have been a series of other unfore-
seen events. This issue is now complete and will be mailed in
early November. In the meantime, however, we have most of the
material assembled for the remaining two issues; these should
thus be in the mail at approximately two or three week intervals.
B.E.H.

Committee Structure . Considerable thought has been given to
this topic . Those who were at our May meeting had an opportunity
to consider and comment on the possible roles of the committees.
As many as possible of these suggestions have been repeated in
the meeting report in this issue. We hope all of our members
will read this over and send in their ideas to pass on to the
committee chairmen.

Breeding Committee Registry Proj ect . We are happy to report
that the International Council for Bird Preservation, United
States Section, Inc., has approved an application of Don Hunter's
for the Foundation for a small grant to be used in developing a
registry of birds in captivity related to the breeding projects.
We feel that this will be an important aid in this work. A
request for suggestions was sent out in B.P.I.E. No. 7 and is
extensively quoted in the summary of that issue on the following
page. We hope our readers will read this and make their sugges-
tions.

A New Bibliography. The first part of "An Extensive Bibli-
ography on Falconry , Eagles , Hawks, Falcons and other Diurnal
Birds of Prey; Part I: Falconry and Eagles" by Richard R.

Olendorff has just been published by the author. We have
included a prospectus of this publication with this issue of the
News . We believe this will be of considerable value to many of
our readers and hope to have a review soon.

BREEDING PROJECT INFORMATION EXCHANGE

Number 5 of the B.P.I.E. was issued on March 26, 1968, and
Numbers 6, 7, and 8 were sent out on July 26. To maintain the
informality of the exchange each number is now headed with a
statement ’’This is not a publication.”

In No. 5 Fran Hamerstrom reported on the method of artificial
insemination used with her Golden Eagle in Wisconsin. She describes
the equipment and technique in some detail. She also comments on
sexing raptors by examination of the prolapsed oviduct, a technique
that should be of value to banders and others.

Joe Simonyi reports in No. 6 on work with Peregrines and Red-
tailed Hawks at Hornby, Ontario, Canada. He gave some general
suggestions on the care of the birds including the use of live
quarry and the use of a dark room in the day and light at night
so he can work more with them in the evening. His Peregrine laid
one egg May 19, 1967, which she incubated; it was infertile and
removed June 11, but the bird did not recycle. He has been able
to manipulate light and change time of molt in his Red-tails. The
female in winter had been exposed to increased light. A male from
an outdoor aviary was added in mid- January, and both birds were
nest building in February. He attempted to stop the cycle by
exposing them to natural (10 hour) light. Although the room was
very cold eggs were laid on February 25 and 27 which were being
incubated when the report was submitted.

Don Hunter commented on the proposed registry in No. 7. He
discussed possible methods of marking the birds and developing a
recording system of card questionnaires. We want as many sugges-
tions as possible, and will therefore quote this section com-
pletely.

”We are also developing a questionnaire type report card
whereupon standardized information, as well as, unique informa-
tion may be systematically recorded. In addition to obvious
information such as species, age, quarters, diet, etc., we have
listed the following information as possibly important: Eyess

or wild caught adult or sub adult? (Haggard or passage.)

Handling of bird; manned or not manned; flown or not flown?

Lighting, both natural and artificial? Temperature in quarters;
daily fluctuation; mean? Date birds placed together? Which one
first in quarters and for how long in advance? Behavior of both
sexes? Coincidence of molt with egg production and/or light
period changes either natural or artificial? Diet? Eggs?

Fertile or infertile? Dates of laying? Dates of hatching?

Natural or artificial incubation? Temperature of incubation?
Analysis of cause of infertile eggs? Dead embryos? Chemical
analysis? Status of young? Fed by hand or by parents? Diet?
Present status? Registry number of young?”

In No. 8 Richard D. Porter and Stanley N. Wiemeyer of
Patuxent Wildlife Research Refuge, Laurel, Maryland, report on
extensive work on American Sparrow Hawks from which 131 young
were produced by 43 pairs in 1967. They made observations on
the effect of the size of pens (if too small, unsuccessful),
isolation (adjoining pens better), wild trapped vs. nestling
(none), manning (unnecessary), pairing (not difficult), dis-
turbance (must be minimal), and food (no cannibalism with finely
ground rodent and chicken parts). We look forward to seeing the
full published report on this work.

NOTES ON RAPTOR OBSERVATIONS AND BANDING DURING 1967
by George Jonkel and Don Adolphson

During the nesting season of 1967 we banded 39 young raptors
from nests in South Dakota. In connection with banding opera-
tions, data was collected on 84 raptor nests to provide informa-
tion for the statewide population study that we are conducting
for the Raptor Research Foundation, Inc. In many of the nests,
young were not banded; however, nest success and other informa-
tion was gathered so that we will be able better to determine the
status of these species. The following includes only our banding
data but includes nest success data from John Flavin.

The first Red- tailed Hawks were noticed on March 10 with 17
observed during March, 13 during April and 12 during May. They
are numerous in the Black Hills and timbered valleys of the
larger streams of the prairie. They are the most common hawk
nesting west of the Missouri River in South Dakota. They fledged
over two young per nest for 24 nests. The nests were all high in
trees and difficult to get to and only one young was banded.

Except for occasional wintering birds, the marsh hawks moved back
about March 10 with 13 seen in March, 48 in April and 18 in May.
They are common in some areas but rare in others. During the
summer Don Adolphson saw approximately one per 50 miles of travel.
No nests were located by us.

Sparrow Hawks were very plentiful during migration and the
nesting period in the West River area, with 7 seen in March, 70
in April and 86 in May. Every timbered area along the creek bot-
toms in the West River prairie seemed to have a pair.

Swainson’s Hawks seem to be plentiful on the prairie, state-
wide, with the first ones back about April 15 and 30 seen during
April and May. We made observations on 23 nests. By fledging
time 12 of these appeared to have been blown down or abandoned
and were unsuccessful. Eleven of the 23 were successful and
fledged at least 19 young. Four of the nests had one young, four
had two young, one had three young and one had four young. On
one of the nests the young fledged but were not counted before
flying. Six of these nests were occupied by Swainson’s during
1966. In ’’Life Histories of North American Birds of Prey," Bent
reports that for about every 30 Swainson’s nests, one has four
young. The Swainson’s nests were all in trees but most were
fairly easy to get to. A magnesium extension ladder was used to
avoid human scent on the trees and to prevent predators trailing
the scent to the nests. The nests were not visited until the
young were about to fly because Swainson’s are reported to be
likely to abandon nests if disturbed during incubation. Observa-
tions were made from a distance during incubation.

We had observations on five Ferruginous Hawk nests, all of
which are believed to have fledged young. Two of the nests are
known to have raised three young each, four of the nests were in
trees and one was on the ground. One of these nests was used by
Ferruginous Hawks during 1966, The ground nest was also very
near a ground nest used in 1965,

John Flavin had 18 Ferruginous nests located in the West
River area during 1967. Of these only seven produced young. The
low success was due to the severe April 30-May 1st blizzard. In

1966 he had 16 nests, 13 of which produced young. Three of the
pairs produced young on the same nest both years.

B. J. Rose reported seeing a Harlan’s Hawk in Pennington
County in April and one in Haakon County during spring migration.

Due to the very wet summer we did not get to all the Golden
Eagle nest sites in time to band, but 20 nest sites were located.

We do know that young were fledged in four counties.

Great Horned Owl nest success was better in 1967 than in 1966.
Of the 14 known nests, all were believed successful. Two of the
nests were inaccessible. Of the 12 nests where young were banded,
three raised three young, six raised two young and three raised
one young. This gives a nest success of two young per nest com-
pared to 1.75 young per nest for 13 nests in 1966. Seven of the

1967 nests contained food items consisting of one kangaroo rat,
six cottontail rabbits, two jackrabbits, two blue-wing teal, one
snake, four meadow mice and one white-footed mouse.

THIRD MEETING OF THE RAPTOR RESEARCH FOUNDATION

Report by Byron E. Harrell

The third meeting of the Foundation was held at the time of
the Wilson Ornithological Society at the Southern Illinois Univer-
sity, Carbondale, Illinois. In order to avoid conflicts the
Foundation met at breakfast, lunch, and late afternoon sessions
on Saturday, May 4, devoted to certain areas and again in a morn-
ing session on a wide variety of topics Sunday, May 5. We wish
to thank the Wilson Ornithological Society and Southern Illinois
University for their aid and cooperation. We are especially
indebted to Dr. Eugene LeFebvre for making the arrangements in
Carbondale.

Since all of the interests of the Foundation are subdivided
into the developing committee structure, the discussion sessions
were divided accordingly. The Saturday morning breakfast meeting
on banding was very successful, but the noon lunch meeting proved
too difficult a site for a general discussion so the breeding
discussion was postponed. The afternoon session was combined
with a social hour and populations and ecology were discussed.

A number of people met informally at breakfast, followed by the
general meeting where these topics were reviewed and the remain-
ing topics discussed. In addition to these there were a number of
informal meetings of members . The following members and friends
are recorded attending one or more of the sessions:

Dean Amadon (N.Y.)

Earl B. Baysinger (Md.)

Eric J. Bienvenu (La.)

Dick Brownstein (N.Y.)

John Bull (N.Y.)

Richard Fyfe (Alta.)

William George (111.)

James W. Grier (Wise.)
Frances Hamerstrom (Wise.)
Frederick Hamerstrom (Wise.)
Byron E. Harrell (S.D.)
Ronnie J. Haynes (Ark. )
Donald V. Hunter, Jr. (S.D.)

Herbert Koepp-Baker (111.)
Eugene LeFebvre (111.)

Tony Luscomb (Iowa)

Mahlon K. Mahoney (111.)
John C. Ogden (Fla.)

Sergej Postupalsky (Mich.)
Gerald L. Richards (Wise.)
Gary D. Schnell (Kans.)
George M. Sutton (Okla.)
John L. Tatschl (Kans.)
James D. Weaver (111.)
Stanley N. Wiemeyer (Md.)

In planning the committee organization, there was an attempt
to find a place for each interest in raptors. We have tried to
make a logical organization but have grouped some areas together.
Fyfe inquired about the possibility of having a Canadian on each
committee; since we have numerous Canadian members, this should
be possible.

Some discussion was held on meetings of the foundation.

Since our organization is very diversified in interest and in
geography, it seems advantageous to meet with other related
organizations in different places. The current meeting with the
Wilson Ornithological Society permitted attendance of some who
might otherwise have been absent. Many members thought the meet-
ing so stimulating that hopefully similar discussions could be
held elsewhere.

In the following report I have listed and numbered the com-
mittees as reported in the recent brochure. The short explana-
tions from the brochure are quoted.

1. Editorial Committee . ’’Editing of Raptor Research News or
any other publications . n AT present this committee consists oT
Byron Harrell and Don Hunter. There was some discussion of the
pros and cons of having a more formal journal. There was no spe-
cial feeling expressed to change the format at this time. A
change to a more formal journal would be a very large step, and
since the News in its present somewhat "semi- formal” nature seems
to be fulfilling a special worthwhile function, no change is
anticipated at present.

The Board of Directors has authorized the publication of a
lengthy manuscript by Richard R. Olendorff entitled, ’’Falconif orm
reproduction: a review; Part 1: The pre-nestling period." This

reviews a great deal of scattered literature and should be useful
to those of our members who do not have access to research librar-
ies, and would be of enormous value to those involved in breeding
projects for its observations as well as ideas expressed. The
many field observations reviewed should stimulate the reader who
has or will have other related observations to report them. It
is planned to publish this paper as some sort of special publica-
tion by offset and be paper bound; the income resulting from its
sale at a moderate price can be used to replenish a special publi-
cations fund. Considerable thought has been applied to the name
of a series of which this paper will be No. 1 so that the series
title will not need to be changed or confuse librarians. (Edi-
tors’ note: this publication is planned to be issued by the end

of the year.)

Some discussion was held also on a bibliography of 4 or 5,000
references also by Mr. Olendorff. Publication independent of the
Raptor Research Foundation is anticipated. (Editors’ note: the

first part of this bibliography has since been published and is
noted elsewhere in this issue of the News . )

2. Captivity Breeding Committee. "Will coordinate breeding
projects of cooperators and issue the B.P.I.E. (Breeding Project
Information Exchange) , aimed at eventual development of successful

34

breeding techniques." Don Hunter has agreed to be Chairman on a
pro-tern, basis since he has been one of those involved for a long
period. Since he is also Co-editor of the News and Treasurer, we
anticipate finding a permanent chairman later. Cooperators on
the breeding projects have been in effect committee members;
formal appointments will be made in the future.

The B.P.I.E. is an important activity of the committee.
Cooperators send in their thoughts or ideas or reports or plans;
these are duplicated and sent to the cooperators and a few others,
about 30 altogether. There has been indication that this oppor-
tunity to keep in touch is appreciated. However, we have not yet
heard from some of the cooperators; probably some special invita-
tion will be needed.

The committee has also been interested in the problem of
records. Some birds have been transferred from one project to
another. A history of the individual bird would be very valuable.
Thus a registry is being planned. It has been felt some central
file on each bird in the projects should be kept. Perhaps some
ideas or records can be adapted from kennel club systems. If the
breeding attempts are successful such information will be impor-
tant for genetic analyses.

Hunter commented on what the Foundation through the committee
wishes to do and why they are trying to develop techniques of
captivity breeding. The committee feels that the two principal
reasons are to play a possible role in the preservation of certain
species and to have a useful tool for ethological, physiological,
and other studies. The efforts now are to coordinate the diverse
individuals or groups of individuals and their facilities rather
than develop a large concentrated effort with numerous birds at
one facility. This latter choice would also require large amounts
of funds not presently available, but may be desirable in the
future to solve specific problems with particular species. At
this time there is a crash effort on Peregrines because of their
particularly difficult situation, but a number of other cooper-
ators are also using other raptors in less immediate danger or
more available (and also in some ways easier to handle) . The News
has reported some successes and some failures, but the committee
feels that much more is now known of the problems involved. Since
the projects first started, some problems have been seen to be
minor, and some not anticipated have developed. The committee can
function to combine the special knowledge of the cooperators.
Hunter also commented that contrary to some people’s ideas it is
not a function of the Foundation to encourage persons to enter in
these projects and remove more birds from the wild, but primarily
to coordinate the activities of those who have facilities and
birds already in captivity. New birds from the wild for old or
new cooperators are thoroughly considered before proceeding.

35

There were a number of questions from the discussion partici-
pants. In response to a question on the number of Peregrines in
captivity associated with the Foundation, Hunter and Fyfe indi-
cated that there are about 12 pairs. The number is small because
of the limits of cooperator T s facilities. A number of these were
in the hands of falconers before the projects were begun. Fyfe
was asked whether the Canadian Wildlife Service will work along
these lines. A proposal he made two years ago has not been
activated, but what he has been doing on his own has not been
discouraged. Since he is the only one assigned to work on birds
of prey, the Service is reluctant to have him devote all of his
time to this type of work. However, he felt that they would be
cooperative with other efforts.

Further comments were made by Grier on the breadth of the
goals of the breeding projects. Many persons and some of the
cooperators are primarily interested in the technique for a sus-
taining source of birds for use in falconry. However, there are
also the aim of preservation of populations which might become
extinct and the aim of aiding pure biological studies. Harrell
commented there could be a real possibility of reintroduction into
areas where a species had been exterminated if finances and reduced
pesticide levels permit. In the meantime the birds in the project
could possibly be used for other biological studies compatible
with breeding. Since there is considerable investment of time and
money just to keep a young bird until it is old enough to breed,
compatible studies could be conducted during this time. The
Foundation is very concerned that any project associated with them
be certain to be maintained a long enough time to justify its
existence. We obviously have no control over projects which are
started without any arrangement with us.

3. Raptor Population Commi ttee . "Will coordinate activities
and data of cooperators m various areas to assess changes in
raptor populations." George Jonkel, Foundation Secretary, is the
Chairman. Since this committee will have the most widespread par-
ticipation of members, this committee has a large organizational
task.

There was considerable discussion of approaches to the gen-
eral problem. Hunter mentioned the work in South Dakota involving
birds seen, nests found, and their success each year. Some of the
data on Red- tails and Prairie Falcons is best. There was a gen-
eral feeling that there should be sample areas which can be re-
visited regularly as well as monitoring the populations over a
widespread area, the extensiveness depending on manpower. Fyfe
stressed working on species in danger if the program must be
limited. We can't always be sure which are in danger, but gener-
ally we might worry about bird eaters. Fyfe described the
Canadian Wildlife Service work. They will concentrate on the

36

river systems of the southern Prairie Provinces and have sample
areas of 100 square miles to the north for Bald Eagle, Osprey,
and Peregrines. Fran Hamerstrom stressed the repeated work on
study areas. Postupalsky and Grier also contributed to the dis-
cussion.

Fyfe mentioned the nest record card schemes (in Canada and
at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology) to which he thought we
could contribute especially if we got a good number out on popula-
tion surveys. He expressed some concern over the availability of
specific materials such as exact eyrie localities; the Cornell
Lab has indicated that the cooperator can report only the state
or province if he wishes. The committee might consider being a
collecting center on raptor data. Xerox copies of material on
file are available; possibly a duplicate set on raptors would be
of value. At any rate our cooperators on population studies would
be in a good position to help. Mr. Bull commented on the use of
nest record cards on the distribution of birds of New York state,
and the problem of rarer species such as Goshawk and Golden Eagles,
but he felt it would do no harm to show the exact locations of
extinct sites of Peregrines.

The restriction of information brought up the matter that the
Foundation should develop some sort of archive for filing details
where only a digested form is published and for diaries or field
notes of persons no longer active but who wish their materials
preserved. It is also essential to have procedures that will be
satisfactory to the worker so that he cooperates with the commit-
tee. The procedures will have to protect the information from
illegitimate use but still not create particular difficulties when
it is needed; we need just the right amount of red tape. It might
be well to investigate the procedures of the vertebrate paleon-
gologists who found that published type localities were being
ruined by unqualified collectors; they now publish less precise
data and file details in a depository where it is available to
legitimate workers.

There was some talk of how the committee might develop
organizationally. First, develop a certain standardized approach
to provide validity to the monitoring of species populations, and
second, develop methods applicable to certain species such as un-
common forest hawks where enormous labor might be required with
ordinary methods. Students of particular species might provide
ideas on this. The matter of the potential value of an informa-
tion exchange (such as B.P.I.E.) was discussed and considered
worthwhile.

The committee has obvious relationship to the Ecology Commit-
tee. In planning the committee structure of the Foundation, it
was felt that there should be certain persons placed on more than

37

one committee who would serve as a liaison to keep each committee
appraised of the pertinent activities in the other committee.

Fyfe also thought some members of the Population Committee might
function as liaison with amateurs to encourage the collection of
specific information and explain why it is of value.

4. Raptor Banding Committee . "To coordinate activities of
raptor banders , aid in solution of problems of cooperators, and
maintain a liaison with the banding office." Frances Hamerstrom
is chairman of this committee. At our Saturday morning meeting
we had the pleasure of having Mr. Earl Baysinger, head of the

U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Bird Banding Laboratory, join our
discussions. He and our chairman have already corresponded on
developing cooperation. The official Bird Banding Manual is cur-
rently being revised, hopefully to be complete by mid- 1969. Fran
is preparing a short section on raptor banding. She is very
interested in getting workable and tested techniques of traps,
handling, banding, etc., for inclusion in this section.

There was some discussion of data from nestling bandings.
Although the full locality is on the schedule, the tape and print
out only include the 10 minute quadrangle; the schedules never
leave the banding office and they are conservative in allowing
access. In addition they restrict the material of extensive
projects to others for five years unless the investigator gives
permission. The matter of Foundation archives of restricted
information was discussed and is reported in more detail else-
where.

Some discussion was held about the possibility of the Founda
tion publishing its own manual which would be much more extensive
than the section in the official manual. Of special interest
would be procedures which protect the birds or their nests. The
Rockford group have developed a number of nest protection tech-
niques. Many of these are simple enough if known and if used a
lot of trouble can be avoided. Such a specialized manual could
have advantages over the official one: since it would all be

pertinent to the raptor bander it would more likely be read; it
would have shorter (and more accurate) band size listings; it
could be made small enough to fit in a field kit. On the subject
of nest protection interest was shown in a technique of nest
examination reported by Harrell as developed by his student Tom
Dunstan. It is based on the use of an inexpensive Polaroid
Swinger camera mounted on a pole. The 2 '-infinity focus, built
in flash when needed, and light weight make it more versatile
than a mirror on a pole used by some. The apparatus saves time,
reduces disturbance and allows examination of unclimbable nests.

5. Bio - Tel erne try Committee . "To exchange information of
investigators using this technique . " A number of our members
are interested. Since it is such a highly specialized technique

38

related to several different areas of work a separate committee
seemed appropriate. Because of limited time no discussion was
held at the meeting.

6. Raptor Pathology Committee , "To assemble information on
diseases and injuries and their treatment in raptors." Some of
our members are parasitologists and veterinarians so we hope to
have a well qualified committee, Harrell suggested that the com-
mittee might consider the development of a small manual on the
treatment of injuries and diseases of raptors. This would be of
considerable importance to the breeding projects, but also to
others to whom injured or sick hawks are sometimes brought. The
ordinary veterinarian is usually unqualified in this area, but
if his skills are useful this manual could prevent some drastic
mistakes. Such a manual could also be provided to zoos, at most
of which such specialized information is lacking. In the breeding
program where all birds are so valuable, the loss of one bird may
often mean the loss of the use in the project of the other member
as well. Such a manual may avoid preventable losses. It was
also mentioned that in such serious events long distance phone
calls for help would be valuable investments.

. 7. Pesticide Committee . "Monitor information on the level
of pesticides in raptors and investigate effects of such poison-
ing." The discussion began with a statement by Dr. Sutton
relating a dramatic incident of pesticide poisoning. In this
case in Oklahoma a farmer had doubled the recommended dosage of
parathione and applied it to a wheat crop which subsequently was
grazed by a flock of Snow and Blue Geese which promptly and pain-
fully died. Sutton was struck by the enormous destruction poten-
tially possible. Dramatic as this case is the insidious nature of
even low doses of more persistent pesticides is even more impor-
tant. Since the birds of prey are undoubtedly in danger to a
present and potential pesticide environment, this is one of the
most important of our committees.

Further comments were made on the commercial influences push-
ing DDT and other persistent pesticides. Although there are
increasing restriction on DDT use (for example on dairy cattle
feed grains) and substitution of less persistent pesticides such
as seven, production of DDT apparently has not decreased, much of
it going abroad now especially to "help" developing countries in
Africa. With the spread of Dutch Elm Disease, DDT is still being
promoted because of less cost than non-persistent substitutes.

The rationalizations used by the manufacturers were illustrated
by an experience of Hunter's who heard an agricultural college
"expert" explain a survey of pesticide users which reported that
85% of the farmers who used them on crops thought the pesticides
were detrimental to wildlife, but only 5% of the urban dwellers
who used them on gardens and shrubs thought so. The "expert"
explained that the education level of the farmers was less than

39

*

that of the city dwellers so they did not understand the problem
as well!!! The problem of developing a rational use of pesticides
is still a long ways off and of an immensity that our group will
not solve by itself.

There are two aspects of interest to this committee: monitor-

ing wild raptors by biopsy and investigation of physiological and
behavioral effects. After reviewing the work being done the com-
mittee might encourage work on certain aspects. Fyfe indicated
that this was the area of his assignment in Canada with an empha-
sis on monitoring all species of birds of prey. He thought the
committee would be valuable if it also involved the non-government
people who are close to this problem; also others not directly
involved could contribute through collections of materials for
analysis and contribute money since analyses are expensive.

In addition to biopsies from wild populations, samples from
breeding project birds, especially wild caught ones, would seem
to be called for. The use of a bird with a large pesticide load
might endanger the project. The experimental work is also impor-
tant for it is difficult to prove death (or disappearance) by
pesticides so both approaches require considerably more informa-
tion.

Mr. Wiemeyer spoke on the work at Patuxent. They are getting
some answers on the proof of death problem determining the level
in brain of different pesticides that cause death. They are not
yet into the monitoring area but hope to work into this to deter-
mine baseline information. Harrell emphasized that more knowledge
was needed on levels which knock out reproduction. Fran Hamerstrom
made a plea that brain levels be correlated with muscle sample
levels since brain samples are unavailable for biopsy. When
queried on the preference of muscle for fat, she indicated the
absence of fat in some raptors, especially males, and the work of
Prestt who indicated that when fat is utilized pesticides are con-
centrated resulting in a great variability in sampling. Fyfe sup-
ported this idea and reported that there is a possibility of using
feathers as is now done in mercury analyses. Further he indicated
that Patuxent and the Canadian Wildlife Service were working in
cooperation, field work being stressed in Canada and laboratory
experiment on Sparrow Hawks and Coturnix Quail stressed at
Patuxent. He is also quite interested in sublethal effects espe-
cially in Peregrines and Prairie Falcons; he cited high levels as
a possible cause of desertion in a Prairie eyrie. Wiemeyer thought
that if they had another successful season they should have some
data on Sparrow Hawk reproduction and pesticide levels, as well as
egg shell thickness to provide guidelines for evaluation of field
data. Hunter indicated that some game people are working on
behavior changes associated with pesticide levels.

40

Fyfe emphasized the value of coordinating government and pri-
vate research. He also mentioned a possibility of using raptors
to monitor or be an index to pesticides in the environment in
general. This could give raptors special importance to the pub-
lic and agriculture. He has noted an encouraging trend of inter-
est in the problem of residual effects in the field of agriculture
especially in the dairy industry but increasingly in other areas.

8. Raptor Ecology and Ethology Committee . The committee is
obviously closely related to the Raptor Population Committee, but
the work is usually more intensive and less extensive. Most of
the work is in the form of individual studies so there would be
less coordinating function. The committee could probably help
workers in an advisory or consultative capacity or aid or encour-
age people who have information or notes to get them out.

9. Raptor Physiology and Anatomy Committee . This committee
is an agency for contact for those interested in the fields as
such, but also it can have an information providing function for
other groups such as the pesticide and breeding project groups.

10. Raptor Taxonomy Committee . This is also a specialized
area of work, but this field is also concerned with some problems
of interest to others in addition to the basic taxonomic problem
such as the use of plumage characters for age determination, so
the committee might have relations with other committees as well
as perhaps aiding the workers to keep in touch.

11. Education and Conservation Committee . "To collect and
distribute information on the preservation of raptors." A number
of our members are quite interested in this. The Board of
Directors have felt that the Foundation should not be directly
involved in such matters as state legislative battles although
members as individuals might. They felt that there were other
organizations with this function. It could, however, be useful
to our members to keep track of this type of activity. The other
aspect of the committee is the educational one, such as possibly
publishing something useful in schools. The Board felt that this
committee would need to develop an approach to these problems.

Jim Grier discussed a problem of education relating to differing
reactions of urban and rural groups. The difference is reflected
in the varying public acceptance of field trials in different
states as well as in the reactions of school children. He
described vividly an experience in speaking to an urban fifth
grade class, reserving some live birds to last. The birds stimu-
lated the students enormously, and in spite of the approach of the
talk and slides, the students wanted such birds for pets. He felt
there was a major problem of a sociological nature in reaching
differing groups. There was some discussion suggesting that some
of our experienced members might have some useful suggestions.

41

The organization will always be too small for the members to
reach very much of the population directly, so there was some men-
tion of motion pictures and working through science and curriculum
supervisors. We have a considerable amount of talent to draw on.

Fyfe thought that the nature of developing interest of young
people can make considerable difference. He cited Canadian exam-
ples of a group in Regina whose interests developed in a healthy
way, created no problems, and produced a group of serious students
of raptors, and the development of interest of a much different
sort in British Columbia. He felt that the committee might be
interested in these and similar situations to find out the best
ways of working with groups and channeling their interests in a
productive way.

12. Bibliography Committee . ’’Recording of published refer-
ences pertinent to raptor research.” This is an area which could
perform a valuable service if done right. A good deal of backlog
will be listed in the Olendorff bibliography mentioned elsewhere
which will be available.

The question of the number of pertinent papers published in
a year was raised in an attempt to judge the practicability of
publishing an annual list in the News . Grier mentioned that
Olendorff published such a list in a falconry journal; this of
course only reaches a portion of the interested people. In addi-
tion there is a good deal of falconry literature of interest in
raptor research that is often unavailable even in good libraries.
The possibility of reprinting selected papers might be considered
and negotiated.

Special attention was paid to papers in foreign language and
small circulation journals. Possibly abstracts should be pre-
pared of these, only listing titles from common sources. A number
of our members indicated on the questionnaires that they could
read foreign languages. Fyfe indicated that the Canadian Wildlife
Service has had translated a work on Gyrfalcons by Dementev and
others are possible. Perhaps we could farm out certain journals
to people who have access to them so that each issue is checked,
and pertinent abstracts prepared. Some older papers now hard to
get could perhaps be reprinted or a translation published.

Many of our members are not at universities with research
libraries, and even for those that are many sources are still not
readily available or are easily missed. The organizational prob-
lem might be of reasonable magnitude and certainly would be worth-
while. In addition it would be useful to provide information on
where and how Xerox copies of papers might be obtained.

42

13. Membership Committee . "To contact potential members.’'

We now have about 250 members. The April News will have a member-
ship list. There are a number of people interested in raptor
research who have neglected to join. We hope members will look
over this list to see whether anyone you think should be a member
is missing, and if so invite them to join. Perhaps in a sense
the whole membership could be a membership committee. Hopefully
we can find a chairman who can spark this effort and follow up
leads toward potential members.

14. International Coordination Committee . "Maintain a

liaison with raptor workers on other continents." We have been
interested in making the Foundation a truly international organi-
zation, but the Board of Directors has not had time to pursue
this fully. Several prominent workers are being invited to join
the Advisory Board, and we are following up on some other con-
tacts, including some obtained from the questionnaire. Grier men-
tioned that there was active interest in South Africa. If we get

a large enough European membership maybe there should be duplicate
but coordinate committees or maybe a European section. It is
still a little uncertain how this will develop, but we will need
committee members willing to write letters to develop these con-
tacts.

15. Finance and Investment Committee . "Work on the finan-
cial support of the Foundation.*’ Of all the interest listed in
the questionnaire, this is the only one that did not have a
volunteer. The present income has allowed us to do what we have
tried to do and we can plan expanded activities , but there is
little left for investment. The membership system of a $2.00
minimum covers minimum costs and the voluntary scale has provided
over a $5.00 average. Whether or not we wish to change this to

a membership of fixed categories will wait for the future.
