BIRDS OF
broods. The nesting colonies
are still very active. Even
though many young have al-
ready hatched and have left
the colony with their folks,
many more adults are sitting
on eggs or building new
............ T H__E_ F.E_AT~H_~E~. ............. nests. This makes monitor-
PLUMAS AUDUBON SOCIETY ing these nest colonies a mul-
Each day more grebe ba-
bies are being observed on
their parents' backs. We
have received numerous up-
dates from folks in our area
who have developed an inter-
est in these birds and their
ti-dimensional challenge.
After scouring Eagle Lake
for other nest colonies, it is
beginning to appear that all
of the grebes are nesting in
an area that covers less than
one mile of shoreline. The
lake has more than 100 miles
of shoreline; however, nearly
all of the vegetation that re-
mains alive along the shore
is out of the water and inac-
cessible to the grebes.
The water depth in the ac-
tive nest colony is dropping
too. Many of the nests are in
less than one foot of water.
Last week during surveys we
observed one nest that had
been abandoned after it had
been stranded on the shore
by dropping lake levels.
At Lake Almanor the first
colony still has some nesting
grebes but most of the nests
have been abandoned. Hope-
fully that was due to hatched
babies and not to predation.
The grebes that are building
nests now are out of the wil-
lows and into the pondweed.
The birds now have less cov-
er and this increases the ex-
posure of their floating nests
to roving predators.
Try to avoid disturbing
these birds; now is the time
to stay away from the nesting
colonies. The fewer distur-
bances, the greater the
chances that the grebes will
have a successful hatch. We
hope to begin installing
signs this week in order to
alert lake users to keep their
distance from the nesting
colonies.
Last Tuesday we flew
over Eagle Lake, Lake
Almanor and Mountain
Meadows Reservoir in
order to collect aerial
photos of the nesting
colonies. William Klett,
of Lake Almanor, generously
donated his time and air-
plane to the effort and
Plumas Audubon hired an
aerial photographer. Visit
these sites to see photo mo-
saics of the two major
colonies: deercreekgis.com/
panorama/eagle_tules.html,
and deercreekgis.com/
panorama/almanor_
willows.html.
It was an amazing flight,
clear and calm: perfect
conditions. We did see a
canoe in the Almanor colony
from the air. Please keep
out of the nesting colony
until the birds have finished
hatching their'young. The
grebes need all the help that
we can give them. Keep the
updates coming; feel free to
contact us with questions or
concerns. Call 283-0455 or

JOHN'S AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL
John Prinvale, owner of John's Automotive Electrical,
has been doing smallappliance repairs for years
whenever his automotive customers asked him to.
Customers have brought John a of lot of different
things to fix, from grandma's sentimental toaster to
dad's favorite electric saw, and everything in between.
John's interest in electric things began when he got out
of the army when one of his Dad's friends introduced
him to electric diagnostic equipment. Over the years
he has expanded his knowledge by achieving certifica-
tions like those from Ford/Motorcraft and keeping up
with the latest advances with the intemet, technical
magazine and journals.
John really likes working on older electric appliances because they were made to last. Newer
ones are made to be more disposable. If you have something with electrical parts that isn't
working and you'd like to get it fixed, get hold of John at (530) 283-5555.
