PAGE IS - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JANUARY 18,1974 Audubon Census Records toppled as en­ thusiasm soared while seven teams of McHenry county Audubon members took the recent Christmas bird census. Although the sky was overcast in early morning, the sun came out beautifully by afternoon, making the day good for sighting and identification. The counts of , 10,567 in­ dividual birds and fifty-nine species were the highest ever in McHenry county. Two Tree Swallows possibly set a state record for their keeneyed observer, because such birds should long since have left for warmer climes. Appropriately, the one who spotted them was Steve Peck, 730 Broadway, Crystal Lake, chairman of the census again this year. He has studied to become exceptionally knowledgeable in bird lore, and as a freshman at McHenry county college, is laying his academic groundwork for later specialized courses toward a career in wildlife resources. Other especially good sightings were a Sharp-shinned Hawk and four Chukar. Con­ tributing importantly to the high count were 2,847 Canada Geese contrasted with only FARMERS!

As mem­ bers worked in their defined portions of the census territory (a circle 15 miles in diameter, centered at Bull Valley and Fleming roads) each of the teams saw geese in long rib­ bons and V's, noted their own locations and the exact time. Then Peck and Tom Thurow, also bf Crystal Lake, and like Peck, a wildlife career-minded freshman at MCC, meticulously compared the reports to determine what ones could be counted and what sightings had to be discarded as duplications. The entire census work is done as scientifically as possible because it is coor­ dinated by the National Audubon society with that of Audubon chapters across the continent. David Frey of Woodstock, serving a second term as president of McHenry county chapter of Illinois Audubon society, had general charge of the census planning and linatioo of •» ' AL*FC coordination of the seven teams' efforts. Getting started by 5:45 a.m. census day, the most ambitious team (Team 6), comprised of Peck, Thurow, Randy and Barbara Cook, aty of Crystal Lake, and Craig Boldman of Dewitt, la., made a special search for owls. So, whereas none were seen in 1972, the tally this time yas Screech Owl 14, Short-eared 3, and Great Horned 2. Because the 1973 record will be more interesting if there is a basis for comparison, the figure for 1972 is from here on given in parentheses after the current one. Next to the Canada Geese the largest number recorded was, of course^-forsHouse Sparrows 2235 (2056), with Starlings next 1417 (1331). The count of Ring-necked Pheasants more than doubled 82 (32), Black Duck 2 (1), Mallards were down 641 (744), as were also Common Goldeneye 2 (9). Sat. Jan. 26th, 1974 LUNCH SERVED-11:30 AM.

Five hawks (1) could not be positively identified because of the height at which they were flying. Notable increases in count were American Goldfinch 85 (7), Horned Lark 201 (15), Tree Sparrow 641 (359), Mourning Dove 151 (33), Cardinal 100 (51), Purple Finch 87 (22), song Sparrow 74 (7), Pine Siskin 10 (2), Robin9 (1), Brown Creeper 6 (1) . But much reduced in count this time were Black-capped Chickadee 107 (152), Blue Jay 51 (91). Crow 483 (1103), Red Crossbill 1 (25), Herring Gull 5 (27). Woodpeckers and nuthatches were up and down: Red-bellied 14 (10), Downy 46 (27), Hairy 15 ( 6), Red-headed 3 (8), White- breasted Nuthatch 23 (29) , Red- breasted 2 (16). Other species were Slate- colored Junco 584 (549); Rufous-sided Towhee 1 (1), Belted Kingfisher 2 (3), Yellow- shafted Flicker 2 (1), Cedar Waxwing 7 (3), Golden- crowned Kinglet 8(3), Common Grackle 4 (15), White-throated Sparrow 1 (2). Some seen in 1973 and not at all in the 1972 census were: Snow Bunting 10, Field Sparrow 10, Eastern Meadowlark 1, Red-winged Blackbird 37, Common Redpoll 1, American Coot 9, Rock Dove 480 (rules did not previously include this species). There were, however, 4 species seen in 1972's count of 44 different kinds which were not included in 1973's 59 kinds: Rusty Blackbird, Evening Grosbeak. Myrtle Warbler (1 each), Brown-headed Cowbird (2). Rules provided that bird species seen within three days before or three days after the census day, but not on the day itself, could ' be reported to National Audubon in a separate list. This enabled McHenry county chapter to add 7 to its record: Lesser Scaup, Old- squaw, Common Merganser, Gray Partridge, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Eastern Bluebird and the Tree Swallows men­ tioned at the beginning of this article. Assisting the teams with counts of birds at their own feeders were: Eleanor Masslich and Ben Barber of Woodstock (Audubon mem­ bers), and seven who are among the cooperative friends of McHenry county chapter, Mrs. Bert Gathercoal, Walter Wilcox and Mrs. O.L. Beber of Woodstock (the latter formerly of Crystal Lake), Mrs. L.F. Biedermann, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Thorson and Mrs. Robert Morris Jr., of Crystal Lake. When the census day's counting hours were ended, team members, cold and tired but happy that they had par­ ticipated in this important conservation effort, gathered in the Paul Wilcox home at Woodstock. They feasted on a hot chili supper topped off with doughnuts and homemade cookies provided by Ethel Wilcox, Eleanor Masslich, Vera Perry, all of Woodstock, Alta Titus and Ruth Lockhart, both of Crystal Lake. Team captains replied in turn to Peck as he asked for their count on the various bird species, and their reports were met with much good natured banter, for competition bet­ ween the members is what Serve Your Family Fine Jewel Foods-- At Easy-On-The-Budget Prices! more than youd expect i c PRICES EFFECTIVE, UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED 3718 West Elm Street, 0NLY SMOKED MEAT, LUNCHMEATS, POULTRY AND FROZEN FISH THURS, JAN 17 THRU SUN, JAN 20 AT ALL JEWEL FOOD McHenry, III.

EARL R.WALSH, CITY CLERK (Pub. Jan. 16 & 18,1974) Letter from Washington by Senator Charles H. Percy As the opening of the sec­ ond session of the 93rd Con­ gress approaches, many Sena­ tors and Representatives will turn their attention to federal spending. In my last letter I pointed out the important work done in the first session of the 93rd Congress on legislation to re­ form the Congressional budg­ etary process. As we deal with spending proposals in the weeks and months ahead, we also will discuss the pending legislation to reform the way Congress raises and spendts money. The two topics--our pres­ ent spending policy and what can be done to make the Con­ gressional budgetary process more efficient--go hand in hand. Because of this, I estab­ lished my own budget to guide my votes and proposals on spending. I set up this budget shortly after I pro­ posed legislation early last year to reform the Congres­ sional budgetary process. At the same time, I pledged to support a balanced budget for fiscal 1974. My budget for fiscal 1974 included additions to and dele­ tions from the Administra­ tion's budget. It included new authorizations I believed nec­ essary and intended to sup­ port or propose. My spending policies have been periodically revised to account for chang­ ing economic conditions, un­ expected national needs and revisions in anticipated gov­ ernment revenues. ° Comparing my spending votes to date with Congress' total, I find that I have sup­ ported "spending" at the rate of about $270.5 billion during fiscal 1974. This is $1.3 billion under the record of the Sen­ ate as a whole. But my budget is slightly more than expected revenues, even though it is lower than the Senate as a whole. Ac­ c o r d i n g l y , I w i l l p r o p o s e a revenue-raising amendment that will balance my budget. This personal experiment has proved to me again how important it is for Congress to put its financial house in order. The only way to do it is to pass the legislation I have proposed to reform the antiquated and contradictory system that now makes it im­ possible for Congress to spend the taxpayers' money with purpose and direction. This legislation would provide a means to meet unforseen needs without upsetting fed­ eral spending policy. It would allow Congress to become an equal partner with the Execu­ tive branch in setting spend­ ing policies and priorities. This is the most important legislation I have worked on in seven years in the Senate. As we debate spending needs and plans after Congress re­ convenes, I will continue working to see that Congres­ sional budgetary reform be­ comes a reality in 1974.
