In 2016 Jerry with Brian Sullivan of Cornell launched the highly rated mobile app, HawkWatch International’s Identification Guide to Raptors. The app features high-quality videos and photos of all 34 North American birds of prey. Videos include voiceovers that aid users in understanding nuanced flight behaviors, giving them the opportuni- ty for side-by-side comparison of observed flight behavior in the field with what they see on the app. They intended an interactive experience for people. Jerry has been involved with HawkWatch International since 1998 when he worked at the Sandia Mountain Raptor Migration Site in New Mexico. Since then he has continued to support HWI by providing photographs, volunteer- ing at migration sites and helping train crew members. He is currently archiving his photographic collection for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Jerry has spent much of his time sharing his passion for raptors with others. He is always willing to respond to emails with photos asking for identification help. Jerry has led hundreds of field trips across North America, and presented numerous raptor ID workshops.

3JULY/AUG

Pelicans on the Great Salt Lake By Claire Prasad, Westminster College Biology major and student researcher at Great Salt Lake Institute

Every spring, up to 20,000 American White Pelicans flock to Gunnison Island in the Great Salt Lake. They remain there for a few months, laying eggs and raising young, before they migrate to warmer climates in the autumn. At first glance, the island may seem like a strange place to raise young—it is far away from the marshes on the eastern shore where the pelicans fly to catch freshwater fish. However, Gunnison Island is per-fect for pelicans because of its isolation from humans and predators such as coyotes and foxes, until recently. Low water levels have caused a land bridge to form from the mainland to Gunnison Island in recent years. The pelicans so far have not been deterred, and luckily the land bridge is only present for a few months of the year. However, some researchers are concerned that predators may gain access to the island. In an at-tempt to document possible predator activity, researchers from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Great Salt Lake Institute, and MesoWest installed trail cameras on Gunnison Island this spring. But that was not the only reason for the trip to the island. In addition to trail cameras, researchers installed a time-lapse camera overlooking Lambourne Bay, a popular choice for nesting pelicans on Gunnison Island. From the camera, researchers hope to study pelican ar-rival and departure times, nesting patterns, and other behaviors. The camera takes a picture every five minutes, so there will be thousands of pictures to analyze. Great Salt Lake Institute hopes to recruit volunteers to help study the multitude of pictures, a project which will reveal valuable information about the unique birds. Another way that interested volunteers can help is by searching for pelicans with leg bands and wing tags. Every year, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) rounds up hundreds of juvenile pelicans to place tags and bands on the birds. These tags are used to track the migration and survivorship of the birds. Pelicans tagged at the Great Salt Lake have green wing tags. If you spot a pelican with a tag, note the location, date, and tag code. In addition, try and get a picture of the bird! Then, send the information to reportband.gov or email John Neill at [email protected]. With increased sightings of the birds, researchers at UDWR and Great Salt Lake Institute hope to gain information about migration habits, survivorship, and behavior of the pelicans. In addition, more measurements will occur this summer when juvenile pelicans are banded. The additional measurements will establish the size of the banded juvenile pelicans. These measurements, along with bird resights, will help determine survivorship of banded pelicans. Pelicans are a unique part of the Great Salt Lake ecosystem, and increasing our knowledge about these charismatic birds will help us protect the space they live in.

6 The Pelican

Alton Tyrone Harrison1/15/1942-6/3/2017

Our friend, fellow environmental advocate, and former GSLA Board Member, Ty Harrison passed away peacefully Saturday, June 3rd, 2017 after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Ty was born in Murray, Utah and raised in the community formerly known as Crescent, Utah. Growing up on the family farm, his grandmother, Sarah Lovina Harrison, instilled in him a love of plants and nature. This propelled him to a long and distinguished career, teaching in colleges & universities around the country, most recently as professor and professor emeritus at Westminster College of Salt Lake City, Utah. Ty graduated from Jordan High School and went on to earn a B.S. in Botany at the University of Utah, an M.S. in Botany at UCLA, and a Ph.D. in Biology at Stan-ford University. Although mechanically & technologically challenged at times, his love of learning was infectious, and there are many who recall immersive learning experiences with him, in the classrooms of academia, the wild, & the urban.

Many communities are reaping the benefits of Ty’s foresight and efforts, to preserve and restore natural habitat and open space nearby, and within their borders. They will continue to benefit for generations to come.

“The Ty Harrison Endowment for the En-vironmental Center” is being established in Ty’s memory at Westminster College.

“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” -John Muir (Also, read “A Tribute to Ty Harrison” on Ella Sorensen’s blog www.elladibbleso-rensen.com)

GSLA thanks the voters of Salt Lake County for their support of the Zoo, Arts & Parks program.

Changes, Changes…By Heather Dove

As is always the case with volunteer organizations, we have had a changing of the guard in a few key positions.

Janet and Guy Frost have rotated off the Finance Commit-tee after having served more than two terms. Janet served almost continuously as our Treasurer since 2012. She was instrumental in getting all our financial records clear and up to date, and helped us untangle the very complicated ac-counting that came with the 20 year history of the Jordan

GSLA announces a Grant Program

The GSLA Board is pleased to announce the creation of a GSLA Grant Program. Qualifying applicants will be a non-profit or-ganization with 501 (c)(3) status or a governmental/non-profit educational institution (i.e., university, school district, elemen-tary school, etc). Successful applicants will demonstrate that their project aligns with the GSLA mission. Grants will have an upper limit of $1000. The application period will be open twice a year: applications will be due Sept 1st and March 1st. GSLA will announce the successful applicants by mid October and mid April, respectively. For those interested in applying, check back on our website. We expect to have links to the details of the program and an application form posted by early

August.

River Migratory Bird Reserve. She also very conscientiously completed our yearly taxes, certifications and ZAP grant applications – all big jobs that require considerable time and brain power. Guy provided key guidance in maintaining a healthy and legal financial state. Both Janet and Guy volunteered for many other jobs in addition to finance and could always be counted on to pick up the slack when we had a paucity of help. Janet also volun-teered on the Education Committee, helping to plan and put on several family and educational events. We will miss their energy and wise counsel and oversight.

Susan Ogilvie, our longtime Administrative Assistant, has retired from the position after 8+ years. Susan played a critical role in regularly picking up our mail, taking in and processing deposits, keeping QuickBooks records up to date, sending out thank you cards and letters to donors and providing some wonderful planning, design and artwork for our social events.

We are fortunate to have found some terrific replacements for these important positions. Kandy Richards, who has 10 years of experience working with non-profit finance and accounting, has taken on the Treasurer position. Valarie Stewart recently retired from a government job and graciously agreed to take on the Administrative As-sistant position. Both Kandy and Val proved to be quick studies and have efficiently picked up where Janet and Susan left off.

The GSLA Board extends a very big thank you to Janet, Guy and Susan, and a very warm welcome to Kandy Richards and Valarie Stewart!!
