Prayer By Lynn Zubeck Once again migrating snow geese are visiting the Delta area They generally begin showing up around February 10 and stay for about one month peaking in Snow geese numbers around March spend the cold winter months in Southern California and some travel as far as Central Mexico They arc now in route back to their nesting colonies in the central arctic areas of Canada Some of these geese visiting Delta will migrate as far as Wrangcl Island which lies over the top of Alaska You may think you are looking at a field that still has ice on it but further examination will reveal much more Some geese have plastic collars around their necks These collars are individually color coded to identify the area the geese have come from You may also observe different looking snow geese like the blue goose The blue goose is a dark plumage snow goose which has a white head and upper neck and varying amounts of white on their bellies They Public Comments continued from front page opportunity for everyone to draw out for the species of game that they desired to hunt most" The Sevier County landowncrwild-lifcommittee “reconsidered their recommendations last year on the Fish Lake Elk Management Plan The sportsmen stockmen and biologists voted again to support the plan as they did in the beginning with a herd goal objective of 5000 animals" They stressed that their local decision be conveyed to the Board of B ig Game Control and honored this year Don Pcay representative for the Sportsmen for Fish Wildlife and Habitat recommended that public permits allocated to the public be limited to residents only Don went on to ask the council to consider transplanting 50 moose off the North Slope of the Uinta Mountains into the southern region ther to supplement the Fishlakc herd or Farm Bureau Dinner continued from page one found “scads of the snails” Next the landowners hired an attorney and were successful in having the snail “de- listed" “This is still your land this is still your country” said Mr Manig “The ESA is being used as a federal land grab The desert tortoise is a surrogate species The government has been trying to pass a Desert Land Act for decades Now they can do it" Warning that a pair of spotted owls requires 70 acres of old growth timber in which to live Mr Manig asked what might be a farmer's response to sighting one on his property “That’s right" he said "Shoot shovel and shut up” "Endangered Species don’t stand by said Mr Manig themselves” abide by boundaries and lines We have to have biological diversity but not a mandate by the federal government I have no quarrel with finding out what we have out there” Mr Manig suggested spending some money to send scientists out to conduct search The Farm Bureau is working with the issue of rangeland reform and grazing have pearl grey wing covers and black primary flight feathers Their bills are pinkish and their feet arc rose colored Close observation will reveal the smaller Ross goose which resembles the snow goose These 0000 geese arc here feeding in various stubble ficldsThey arc cleaning up waste grain that was left over from the fall harvest This type of activity is called staging or preparing for their flight northward This staging allows these birds to put on body fat which is extremely important When they arrive in the Arctic it is still frozen and they have a hard time finding sufficient food to produce their cggsThcy rely on the stored body fat to meet this egg production demand Although the geese arc now leaving there is something renewing and encouraging about seeing all of these birds It means spring is here It means the geese have survived another long winter and they are determined to see their home again Every wildlife enthusiast should see these migrating visitors start a new one possible on Boulder Mountain “I serve on the Natural Resources Appropriations and Standing committee and wanted to let you ladies and gentlemen know now seriously we take this process (for public input to the wildlife advisory council)” slated Mike Styler Stale Legislature Representative for Millard and Sanpete Counties Mike went on to say: “we think that this process is where the rubber hits the road letting the public make their wants known to the wildlife boards in the state” Through the regional wildlife advisory council it appears that there is an opportunity for decisions to be made at the local level Only time will tell if input from this meeting will be passed on to boards that make wildlife management policy decisions “These issues arc so critical to the West” said Mr Manig He promised that if grazing fees arc raised to die level requested “the average ranch in Utah will not only lose money but will face economic ruination" Offering hope Mr Manig said “I think we can win if w c stick together and be courageous We might even have to demonstrate in Salt Lake City although we don’t like to do things like that Ranchers and farmers after all are tight lipped when they have a problem" After his speech members of the local Farm Bureau Board of Directors lined up to distribute doorprises to lucky winners Everyone was lucky at least once and more than a few received two prizes “It looks like Christmas” said one board membeT facing down a table full of gifts that ranged from golf (‘crying’’) towels and
