Wildlife Calendar (A monthly column by the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Project of the McHenry County Conservation District.) The use of wood burning stoves and fireplaces has increased as people look for ways to stretch their fuel dollars. This means more demand for good dry firewood. And that means dead trees have potential cash value. A dead or dying tree appears to be a useless thing that just takes up space and looks ugly. Why not cut it down and utilize it to save some money? It makes good sense from the narrow viewpoint of human economics. But nature employs a different type of economics based on the premise, "Waste not, want not." In nature, a tree's usefulness does not end when it dies. A dead or dying tree is a productive worker helping to support the whole system, which includes people. As a tree is dying, it still has many uses. If the wind breaks off a branch, insects and fungus can go to work and enlarge the break site enough to provide a home for some nuthatches. Further decay will attract red-headed woodpeckers and flickers. They search for insects and chisel more holes for nesting and roosting sites. The next occupants of the break site may be squirrels or great-crested flycatchers or bluebirds. As the original site enlarges over a number of years, it may be occupied by a succession of wildlife forms-flying squirrels, screech owls, raccoons or gray foxes. In fact, 85 species of birds in North America utilize dead tree cavities for nesting. Furthermore, over 70 dif­ ferent ypes of mammals, amphibians and reptiles use dead trees in northern forests. What bearing do these facts have upon human economics? Why should we care? If we are looking for short- term returns, like cutting our fuel bills, it may seem to matter very little. But if we are interested in long term returns, too, it is important. Most of those 85 species of birds are insect-eaters, and insects destroy or damage a third of the wood and food produced in the United States each year, according to the U.S. Depart­ ment of Agriculture. The presence of these insect eating birds in an area cuts down on the need for expensive pesticides. For insects that are resistant to our chemicals, these birds are an invaluable buffer against in­ sect infestation. The squirrels help plant the next generation of trees. The owl, the fox and others help by consuming their share of insects, mice and rats. Wildlife is less adaptable to change than man is. Many forms of wildlife are greatly diminished in number or gone forever. Others are struggling to survive our destruction of their habitat by utilizing our houses for their homes. Raccoons, squirrels and woodpeckers are now frequent in­ vaders of chimneys, attics or eaves in areas where their natural home sites have disappeared. These nuisance situations indicate a system out of balance. It is important to help maintain a balance with nature by providing a place for wildlife. Balanced natural systems can work for us economically, with the added benefits of beauty and diversity. If you intend to cut wood, check first for wildlife nests and dens. Leave good sized snags standing when you can or until they become a safety hazard. Plan ahead for your needs, and cut green wood which can dry for a year or two. Leave 3 or 4-foot stumps to allow some use by cavity nesters. Provide artificial nest boxes to replace cavities that have been cut down. If you need help or advice about any wild animal or bird, you can call Sally Joosten, director of MCCD's Wildlife Rehabilitation project at 815-338-3276 or the McHenry County Conservation district office at 815-338-1405. Identify 44 Species In Annual Bird Count When 30 members of the McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Audubon society participated in the annual, international Christmas Bird Count, a total of 44 species were identified in McHenry county, with a head count of 9,566 individual birds. While the number of species was down by 5 from the 1981 count, the actual number of birds was up from 6,874. Dave Frey, Woodstock, chairman of the County committee, reports that the most frequently observed species included, 3,581 European Starlings, 2,034 House Sparrows, 803 Crows, and 568 Dark-eyed Juncoes. Birds ob­ served in the fewest numbers were one Mute Swan, five American Black Ducks, one Common Merganser, three Rough-legged Hawks, four American Kestrels, one Great-horned Owl, five Belted Kingfishers, one Red­ headed Woodpecker, four Yellow- bellied Sapsuckers, four Golden- crowned Kinglets, and two Cedar Waxwings. Additional species observed during the count week included a Cooper's Hawk, a Broad-winged Hawk, a Common Flicker, a Brown Creeper, and a Pine Siskin. This year marked the eighty-third year of Audubon's Christmas Bird Count. Observers were out in every American state, every Canadian province, many Central American countries and numerous West Indies islands. The McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Audubon society, the largest affiliate of this society, sponsors frequent programs, workshops, bird walks and field trips, all open to the public. For information about these programs or how one may become a member, contact President Barbara Meding (385-6717).
