Keep an Eye Out for Tagged Monarch Butterflies
Idaho Fish & Game Late summer marks the beginning of the monarch butterfly’s epic migration to wintering grounds in coastal California and central Mexico. In the western U.S., hundreds of these magnificent orange-andblack butterflies will be sporting white tags — each the width of an M&M and bearing an email address and serial number — in an effort to track the direction, route, and destination of their migratory movements. Researchers are enlisting the help of the public to spot and report these tagged migrants en route to their wintering grounds. Monarchs can travel 100 miles a day during migration. This tagged monarch from southwest Idaho may provide answers to Idaho’s monarch flyway. This monarch tagging program is the brainchild of Dr. David G. James, a professor of entomology at Wash-
ington State University. He launched the program in 2012 to focus research and conservation attention on monarchs in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia, a region underrepresented in the monarch world. A particular area of interest for Professor James is monarch migration biology. “There is a lack of information on the migration of the monarch in the Pacific Northwest,” James said. Efforts to better understand the migration corridors and flyways of the western monarch population are timely given a 74 percent decline in the California overwintering population in less than 20 years. Tagging information can help to effectively target conservation actions, such as milkweed plantings and development of nectar-rich corridors needed for breeding and migrating monarchs. In collaboration with Professor James’s program, biologists and citizen scientists in Idaho captured, tagged, and released about 300 monarch butterflies this summer. Tagged monarchs from Idaho have been recovered in California, but there is also intriguing evidence of a southward trajectory towards Mexico. cont. page 10...

Health Warning for Magic Res.
South Central Public Health District, in cooperation with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), has issued a health advisory for Magic Reservoir. The DEQ confirmed the presence of unhealthy levels of Microcystins. Microcystins are the toxic product of certain species of blue-green algal blooms, often referred to as Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). Balthasar Buhidar, Water Quality Manager with the DEQ, reports that sample taken on September 9, 2016 at Lava Point in Blaine County indicate an average Microcystin level of 136 µg/L or 136 micrograms per liter of water.

A few years ago I lost almost all my prunes. The weather got warm and the sap come up in the trees. Then we got a cold snap and the trees froze. Many people lost their cherry trees during this same cold snap. I had a few younger tree shoots that survived the cold, but I didn’t think I had any fruit on them - my busy schedule didn’t have me paying very close attention to the fruit production. I ended up with some prunes that matured to the ready-to-pick state. Of course, they did this on their own because I never helped. When I told some friends I needed to pick prunes, they looked at me like I was out of place. Prunes get a bad rap. The first thing people thing about prunes is a moist dehydrated fruit with a seed in the middle. The second thing they think is a fibrous drink that gives you the runs. Actually, prunes are a small sweet fruit with lots of vitamins. Any fruit or food that isn’t regular in your diet will give you the runs because it is foreign to your body. Even a steak with do that to you if you are a vegetarian. The state of Idaho and specifically the counties of Gem, Canyon, and Payette, were among some of the leading shipper of prunes during WWII. I’m sure our armed service were glad to have the fruit since they were dehydrated. As I went about picking my prunes, I figured I should get some gear together. For the neighbors close by I needed some plastic grocery sacks, and for friends farther away I needed some boxes. A ladder and a picking bag would help out well also. I gathered up the bags, cleaned up some wooden boxes, grabbed my eight foot step ladder, and grabbed my fruit picking bag after cleaning the spiders out of it (a picking bag is a canvas bag that is held on with a harness, and the bottom of the bag clips back to itself to hold the fruit). Since I had not done any maintenance to my prunes since the freeze, I had a small jungle to deal with. Fortunately for me, my (old) variety of prunes didn’t have thorns throughout their limbs. Being too lazy to carry my larger fruit ladder, I used my 8’ step ladder. It didn’t work well. Fruit ladders have three legs so you can get in between limbs, growth, and tree crotches. They are also designed so you can be on all kinds of terrain, including hills. My picking bag was another issue. Not being use to the harness and the weight of the prunes, the picking process was little slow. I forgot how not adjusting the bag to a smaller setting gave me easily 40 pounds to be toting around on my ladder. “Pruning” may be the picking process of prunes, BUT pruning is also a way of shaping, ridding of unnecessary growth, cleaning dead wood, establishing sunlight, maintaining fruit size, minimizing disease, and establishing ladder room in trees. Did I mention establishing ‘ladder’ room?? As I have looked at the picking of the fruit (prunes or anything else), one must do the maintenance in order to receive the fruit. That is a good life lesson as well. In order to receive bountiful fruit in life we must do our maintenance and always continue to “prune” things in our lives. This is my “Cup of Tee” dehydrated, so to speak.

cautions when accessing the water anywhere in the reservoir, as algal blooms are likely to be present in other locations. Health officials are advising recreational water users take the following precautions: · Anglers should only consume the fillet portion of the fish (remove the fat, organs, and skin). Wash hands after handling. The risk associated with consuming fish caught in waters with a blue-green algae bloom is unknown. Toxins produced by blue-green algae can accumulate in the organs of fish. · Take extra precautions to ensure children, pets, and livestock are not exposed to the water where algal blooms exist. · Do not consume water with algal blooms. Neither boiling nor disinfecting removes blue-green algae toxins from water. According to Josh Jensen, Public Health Program Manager, with South Central Public Health District, “Children and pets are particularly susceptible. Exposure to the toxins produced by cyanobacterial HABs may result in life-threatening liver damage, neurological problems such as muscle spasms, decreased movement, labored breathing, convulsions, and possible death.” HABs develop when specific types of photosynthetic bacteria form visible, dense, build- ups in freshwater lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. Warm, slow moving water with high nutrient levels, particularly phosphorous, create conditions that allow algae to grow very quickly. Typically, these conditions occur during the warmer months of late summer and early fall. HABs shrink dramatically as the water temperature drops in mid to late fall.
