CHUCK'S BIRD PROFILE GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER When you are out for a walk at Peace Valley Nature Center, listen. You might hear a loud "wreeeep" (inflection up), or a "weep-weep-weep". This is the call of a Great Crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus Crinitus), a bird more often heard than seen. But when you do see it, how lovely. The Great Crested Flycatcher is olive brown above with a pale gray chest and a yellow belly. It has a narrow white-eye ring and two white wing bars. The wing linings and tail are cinnamon colored. It is a large flycatcher, about 8 to 9 inches in length. The short, fluffy feathers on the head often form a noticeable crest, giving the bird its name. The Great Crested Flycatcher is one of a number of Tyrant flycatchers that occur in the eastern U.S., which include other flycatchers, phoebes, pewees and kingbirds. A typical trait of these birds is to sit quietly on a fixed perch and then dart out to catch bugs in mid-air and then return to same or different perch. Most have bristles around the mouth, which look like hairs. Bristles are modified feathers that provide touch sensitivity, much like whiskers on dogs and cats. These aid in capturing insects. This species of flycatcher breeds east of the Rockies in deciduous forests. It is the only eastern flycatcher that nests in natural cavities, and even nest boxes. They exhibit site fidelity; they come back to the same site to nest year after year. After forming a pair bond in the spring, both sexes will vigorously defend their territories against other species like woodpeckers, starlings and squirrels. They build the nest together, a bulky construction of leaves, hair, feathers, roots, twigs, bark, string and paper. It also has an odd habit of including shed snakeskin and cellophane, thought to be used to frighten predators. The Great Crested Flycatcher makes its home from Central America to northern South America during our winter, but migrates to eastern North America in spring to nest and raise its young. This species can be found at PVNC in the upper canopy and treetops from May to September.

They currently reside in Perkasie and are both active as Peace Valley Nature Center volunteers. Twenty-one years ago, Alice, recently retired from teaching Home Economics at Pennridge South Junior High, volunteered as a teaching assistant for PVNC. She loved being outdoors helping children of all ages learn about the wonders of nature. Her presence on the trail was helpful in tricky situations like bee stings and overenthusiastic children. After years on the trails Alice decided to become a receptionist and storekeeper. Today she still enjoys greeting visitors and helping them with purchases and information. She sometimes pines for the outdoors, though! Alice's enthusiasm for the nature center boiled over to her husband Dave, a retired bank officer at the former Bucks County Bank. For twelve years he volunteered as a trailkeeper, finding battling the multiflora rose bushes the most difficult work. Dave also helped with our gardens for many years, keeping them tidy and weed free. In recent years it has been nice to see them working together, helping with our newsletter mailings, folding and labeling with smiles on their faces! Dave is an accomplished artist and regular participant in our Drawing and Painting In Nature Workshops. Traveling is something they enjoy. They have very fond memories of a nature center trip to Cape May with former Assistant Naturalist Fred Mears. Alice and Dave are also active at St. Andrews Lutheran Church in Perkasie. Thank you for your combined 40 years of volunteer service Alice and Dave! WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Back in the Fall of 1980, director Carolyn Corey Jarin began an intern program at the nature center. Interns have become an important part of our education programs, assisting the Education Director, and teaching full time, for 10 - 12 weeks. The nature center benefits from their enthusiasm, knowledge and skills. They in turn learn new skills and gain practical knowledge as environmental educators. Here are a few of our naturalist interns whom have continued in environmentally related careers. Faron Moser (Summer 2003)- recently accepted a position with Soverign Consulting in New Jersey where he is a field scientist. His duties include doing wetlands delineation, soil sampling and other related tasks. Mike Brubaker (Fall 1998)- was hired by PEEC as the Assistant Director of Education in March of 2001. Early in 2005, Mike was promoted to the position of Director of Education at PEEC!! Diane Nickerson (Spring 1989)- is the Director of the Mercer County Wildlife Center, a position she has held since 1994. Kirsten Becker (Benson) (Summer 1987)- is the Assistant Naturalist at Churchville Nature Center. She started employment there in 1988. 10k RACE SPONSORS AND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Consider having yourself, your company, or the company you work for be a sponsor of our September 11th 10 K race. There are four levels of sponsorship: • Bald Eagle: ($1,000 or more - Large logo on T-shirt, Mercer Tile) • Osprey: ($500 or more - Large logo on T-shirt) • Kingfisher: ($250 or more - Small logo on T-shirt) • Hummingbird: ($125 or more - name listed on T-shirt) All sponsors receive recognition at the race and in our newsletter, and may set up a small booth race day. We also need volunteers to help with assorted tasks prior to and on race day.

You will man the front desk as a receptionist and make transactions for the Sunflower Shop. If interested, please call the nature center at 215-345-7860 and ask for Joan Wonsidler. TRAILKEEPERS NEEDED! Director Carolyn Corey Jarin needs help with preserving our preserve! Exotic species such as Multiflora Rose and Japanese Honeysuckle are crowding out our native plants. Corey needs volunteers to clip, dig or hack them back from the trails and planted trees. With your help, we can stop these and other invasive species from taking over our property. Corey also needs help with our gardens (herb, wildflower and butterfly) around the building. Please call her at 215-345-7860.

REFLECTIONS ON MY 30 YEARS AT PEACE VALLEY NATURE CENTER "In the early years we are not to teach nature as science, we are not to teach it primarily for method or drill: We are to teach it for loving-and this is nature study. On these points I make no compromise." Liberty Hyde Bailey When I was asked to write a short paragraph about my reflections on thirty years at Peace Valley Nature Center, I was overwhelmed and still am. It would take a book to recall all the "happenings" and all the people that have contributed to the history here. These reflections would have to include all the "fights" we have had to continue preserving the peace in this valley; all the thousands of school children and others we have reached with our love of nature lessons; all the extraordinary teacher/naturalists, interns and volunteers who have made our mission come true; all the people (young and old) who have found peace and contentment walking our trails. Whew! Carolyn Corey Jarin Founder and Director of Peace Valley Nature Center FOND MEMORIES In response to a request for former students to share with us the impact PVNC programs had on them as a child, this wonderful letter came via email. It captures the spirit of the nature center and its 30 years of education. Ed. Many aspects of my young life have shaped the way that I am today, but one of the most important was my experience as a student of the Peace Valley Nature Center. Some of my fondest memories occurred during those summertime mid-day walks; catching and studying aquatic animals, learning about camouflage and habitat, looking for arrow heads, finding owl pellets, painting my face with chalky stream bank pebbles, wading in the Ôcool pools,' visiting the bird blind, and of course, a stop to see the swallows that inhabit the barn. As a young and junior naturalist I was exposed to the natural world in one of its purest forms. I developed the mindset of a conservationist, which I have carried throughout my life. I studied ecology at the advanced placement level in high school which solidified my dedication to the environment. In college I began the rigorous training of becoming an environmental engineer, where my understanding of deep ecology, kinetics, geology, and hydrology further developed. I took many messages from all of those classes at the nature center; the most important being a deep appreciation and awe for the natural world. Each ecosystem is more intricate and more resilient (and more beautiful) than any manmade system that I have ever studied. There is a somewhat simple pleasure that arises when walking with friends through the garden on the way to campus when I will witness something - a squirrel race by, a bird singing, an unusual insect on a branch, or the first signs of spring - that nobody else notices. As I begin my career as an environmental consultant this summer I will strive to not become jaded by the business world. I will keep the environmental values that I have learned throughout my life close by so that I may do justice to the natural world that is so important to me. Dave Ellis Our Blessed Members When visiting the nature center, I often watch our members and visitors come in the front door of the nature center building, many with that "Sense of Wonder" which Rachel Carson aspired to. You enter a building where you can take a brief respite from the weather and find a multitude of educational items to wonder over. That wonder can come from reading a detailed book on biological interactions of fungi to finding awe in the patterns of a dried leaf's veins. Whether you have learned it from your parents, a Nature Center class, or you were born with it, you are blessed to carry that sense of wonder with you and we are blessed that you brought it to share with us. The true glow in your eyes is when I see you with friends and family exploring the paths of Peace Valley. Anticipation and joy often greet me when I meet you on the trails. It is the positive energy you feel when you are out in nature, not sure what will flit in front of you or what you may spot peeking out from under a leaf. Be it winter or summer, there are so many gifts waiting outside for you to find at every turn. Seek and ye shall see. The current year brings with it a celebration of the past at Peace Valley Nature Center. For 30 years many of you have walked these same trails and still feel a joy for what nature offers. The 30 year trail of Peace Valley's accomplishments leads us to this point in our path of life. We now find a wonderful children's education program lead by an amazing staff. We have a productive building, ready to be reborn with improvements to the aging solar addition that will make it glow and guide visitors to the benefits of a solar based economy. Fourteen miles of trails, maintained by dedicated volunteers await your exploring and wandering. Such a solid foundation has been built by the Nature Center that our trail for the next 30 years is well marked. Through your membership, participation, donation of time and money, as well as your personal lives outside the Nature Center, the world is for the better. While we are so blessed for the thousands of hours and thousands of dollars members have given us; you in turn are blessed by the benefits derived from the healthy growth of such a dedicated organization. Hundreds of thousands of children have passed through these trails. Each child leaves carrying the blessing of their Environmental Educators that they will love and not destroy life, now that their eyes have opened a little wider to the world that moves around and through them. As we all reminisce and marvel at the accomplished 30 year path Peace Valley Nature Center has created, step back for a moment and count you blessings. Feel blessed for such a positive path you have helped create for the future and for the sense of wonder and peace you carry within you.
