B2*Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, March 20 1993 Bird Atlas Provides Wealth Of Information LOU ANN GOOD Lancaster Farming Staff PITTSBURGH (Allegheny Co.) —Heavy snows brought hun gry birds in search of food to many backyards this past week. For those who sighted rare birds or even the familiar species, cur iosity was often aroused. Where do these birds nest? What kind of bird is it? What is its characteristics? A newly released book, Atlas of Breeding Birds in Pennsylvania, is the most comprehensive book detailing birds in the state. According to the University of Pittsburgh Press, the book required more than 2,000 volunteers to trudge through wetlands, moun tains, and farms in search of birds. The volunteers were trained to map the habitat of the birds and document the breeding of the birds. The 484-hardcover book highlights 188 species with draw ings and a two-page spread of the historical and population trends of each. A map shows the locations in which each of the species was found between 1983 and 1989. Every 10-square mile alias block in the stale was surveyed with a total of 4,928 survey areas. That required 100,000 hours or 48 person years in field surveys, which does not include travel time to and from blocks or administra tive time compiling data and recruiting. Dame W. Braunmg edited the book. In addition to descriptive infor mation on each bird, the book includes graphs and eight acetate overlays showing slate’s eco zones, generalized elevations, mean summer temperatures, preci- TOWN AND COUNTRY POURED WALLS • Manure Pits • Retaining Walls • House Basements • Trench Silo Walls (215)593-5794 Ask For Ike GOOD FOOD OUTLET STORES See Our Original Line Of Golden Barrel Products Plus All Kinds Of Beans, Candies, Dried Fruit, Snack Mixes, Etc.

As I had already stuffed a beef heart, I decided to invite someone else. Our daughter-in-law informed me that their son was sick and they could not come. So, I invited a friend and her husband but was told that they do not eat “organ” meats. But, I didn’t give up as I had baked a cherry pie and a lemon meringue pie that morning and wanted to share them too. When I phoned my sister she told me they could not come as she had just put a large turkey in the oven. That was a good reason not to eat at our home. Another sister has a job and was away at work on a Saturday.

Our daughter came later in the day and said she had been baking pies too for a church benefit. However, when she left the kitch en for a few minutes, their dog ate the apple pie left on the counter. What saved her was the pie stored in the oven for themselves, which now was taken to the church. Talking about unexpected hap penings, this past week a big wind storm blew down a 70-foot pine tree on our smokehouse on the farm. It not only broke in the whole roof but some of the bricks must be replaced too. Just this past year a professional photographer was here to take pictures of the unique building and now it is a shambles.
