The trick to keeping them in the garden is to grow plants that provide the food they need. They are not picky eaters, so $ number of attractive plants provide portions of a meal for them. The majority of fheir diet consists of flower Dectar, which they supplement with small insects. Hummingbirds feed from jiiorning until dusk. This provides them the energy that keeps them in constant motion. They consume as much hs half their body weight fn one day. In order to eat this much, they must move tjuickly and visit as many plants as possible. I Red and orange flowers are the preferred target of most Can hummingbirds, especially if the flowers are trumpet-fehapeA number of annuals fit this bill, including nicotians, annual phlox, nasturtium and zinnia. Nicotiana and finnual phlox are taller flowers which are recommended because the birds can spot them easily. Consider these additional flowers to attract hummingbirds: Tail perennials that attract hummingbirds include hollyhocks (Alcea rosea), delphinium (Delphinium), red-ho- poker (Kniphofia), Maltese cross (Lychnis) and cardinal flower (Lobelia). The cardinal flower, the Maltese cross and t the poker are nice additions to the garden because they bloom later in the year. hummingbirds to my yard? ; SI UP - Hummingbirds are attracted to the orange flowers on Lions tail (Leonotis). The plant grows anywhere from tall, and produces clusters of flowers every 6- - to along the upright stem. 2-t- o Hummingbird fuchsia (Zauschneria) blooms around the middle of July, and continues to produce flowers into late fall. It is loaded with orange flowers and is great for trailing over a rock or from a planter. perennials that attract hummingbirds include columbine (Aquile-gia)- , Low-growin- g coral bells (Heuchera), lupine (Lupinus) and bee balm (Monarda). Monarda grows between 1 tall, can be covered with attractive crimson to pink flowers and also attracts bees. A number of vines also attract hummingbirds. Honeysuckle (Lonicera semper-virens- ) is probably the most noted. This vine is easy to grow in most locations with the proper support. It has attractive orange flowers and is reminiscent of flowers found in an grando mothers garden. Another vine with orange flowers is the trumpet-creepe- r (Camp-si- s radicans). This plant can be somewhat aggressive, but with proper care makes a nice addition to a hummingbird garden. Shrubs can also entice ; Shooting Jade Greenhalgh, Shooting Sports-Shotgun- Sports and Top Individual in Archery and Shotgun.

Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus), shrub honeysuckle (Lonicera), beauty bush (Kolkwitzia), butterfly bush (Buddleia) and weigela (Weigela) all have attractive flowers. These shrubs work best when placed in the background or used as an informal hedge or border around a garden.

Even so, you will enjoy the benefits of attractive, bright flowers in the landscape. Music and 60-da- parts. The number of cougars taken during Utah's upcoming cougar season could also increase under recommendations the DWR is proposing. People are encouraged to attend a series of upcoming public meetings and provide the DWR with their input about the recommendations. Citizens who serve on Utahs Regional Advisory Councils will take the public input received to the Utah Wildlife Board when it meets Aug. 12 in Salt Lake City to approve Utahs 2004 2005 cougar and waterfowl proclamat- ions. The Central Region meeting will be held Aug. 3 at 6:30 p.m. at Timpview High School, 3570 North 650 East, Provo.

In addition, Mary Dawn Sperry and Diane Sperry will entertain with music on piano and flute. All three are members of the Craig and Mary Lou Sperry family. Nikkii is married to their son, Mike. She is the daughter of Tom and Judy Truscott. The Sperry daughters are graduates of Juab High School. Diane graduated this year. She plans to attend Snow College. Mary Dawn also graduated with a B.S. degree from Brigham Young University. She plans to get a Master of Science degree from BYU in the field of health promotion.

Not allowing ATV use at our WMAs, unless areas are posted open, the ATV rules around Great Salt Lake consistent, Aldrich said. The DWR is also proposing will make all that Utahs 60-da- y pintail duck season be split, with 30 days held at the start of the season and 30 days held at the end. More of the 1,664 hunters the DWR randomly surveyed this past March favored a split season over a straight season that ran during the first part of the general season, or a straight season that ran during the last part of the general season. The split season allows hunters to take a pintail early in the season, when most of Utahs hunters are in the marshes and when its often difficult to distinguish one duck from another, Aldrich said. It also allows hunters, who want to take a bird thats fully plumaged, to have that chance at the end of the sea in- consistency between vehicle regulations has led the DWR to recommend that the use of ATVs at state waterfowl management areas be allowed only in areas that are posted open to their use.

With the Great Salt Lake near record low levels, ATV use and access around the lake has expanded dramatically, said Tom Aldrich, waterfowl coordinator for the DWR. Unfortunately, were seeing damage in many areas, particularly along the south shore and Lay-tomarsh areas within the n Farmington Bay WMA. Deep ruts have been cut through vegetated areas. These ruts can ruin the vegetation and cause changes in the way the water flows through the flute for seven years. Mary Dawn said she started taking piano lessons when she was about five years old.

The DWR is still waiting learn the total length of season and the bag limits that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will allow in Utah this year. We should have that information by the time the RAC meetings start,7 Aldrich said. Cougar Hunting Recommendations The DWR is recommending that a quota of 527 cougars be set for 32 harvest objective to units and eight units managed under a combined harvest objectivelimited entry strategy. Last seasons quota was 482 cougars. About 65 percent of the quota is reached each season, so this years quota of 527 could result in about 344 cougars being taken. The DWR is also recommending that 259 permits be issued for 12 limited entry and Southern Utah University. She has a B.S. degree in teaching dance and health education from SUU. She has been dancing since age three. before 9:00 Call eight units man- - aged under a combined lim- ited entryharvest objective strategy. Last season, a total of permits were offered for limited entry units. About 60 percent of the hunters who obtain a limited entry permit are succes&ful at taking a cougar, so a projected 156 cougars could be taken on these units. Last season, Utah hunters took 426 cougars. That was below the 475 to 500 cougars 211 the division had projected might be taken and two fewer than the 428 cougars taken the season before. Under its recommendations, the DWR is projecting that 500 cougars might be taken in Utah this season, which begins in late November on some units. Most of the increased take would happen in southwestern Utah, where deer herds are struggling. The drought has really impacted the deer herds here, said Nile Sorenson, wildlife manager for the DWRs Southern Region. Were not getting the annual growth on the plants the deer rely on in the winter, and we dont have the abundance of summer vegetation that many of the nursing does need to produce enough milk for their fawns. On top of that is predation by cougars. Sorenson says the ratio of fawns to does in the Southern Region last fall was 5 1 fawns per 10Q does, and the overall number of deer on the regions units ranges from 75 percent to less than 25 percent of the number called for in manage- ment plans. Were doing several habitat projects to improve the habitat the best we can, but we need some relief from the drought to really see habitat conditions improve, Sorenson said. One thing we can do for the deer right now is allow additional cougars to be taken. Once the deer herds bounce back, we can cut back on the number of cougars that are taken and allow cougar numbers to also grow. a.m. to reserve a meal or to arrange for transportation..
