Getting out and seeingEastern Oregon

I have recently picked up hiking after many, many years onhiatus. I've decided to make upfor the lack of it by hiking likea crazy person the last severalweekends.

My first hike to welcome meback to the sport was Ice Lake, a15.6-mile trek — my legs hatedm e for the better part of four days.

The latest hike was up to Francis Lake, a 20-miler that wasn'tnearly as bad as the 15-mile hikeof Ice Lake, go figure. I survived,but with a bout of dehydration.

I bought some books about thebest hikes in Eastern Oregon andbeyond, as well as picked up theObserver's Outdoors section every Friday to read its suggestion

Van Tuyl: When I was 16 yearsold I started a bad high schoolband with my fiiends.

We played politically-fueledpunk and covered bands like"Anti-Flag" and "Against Me."

It was during the Bush years.The Iraq War started when I wasin sixth grade. Then I edged intoJohnny Cash and stumbled uponBob Dylan. I threw out the electric guitar and got an acoustic,started writing a ton oflyrics andthat trajectory has continued."

Like most people, I know myblackbirds from by bluebirds.

Beyond that, I'm hopeless.Almost."Birds of Oregon: Field Guide"

by Stan Tekiela iAdventurePublications Inc., Cambridge,Minnesota, 307 pages) is changing that. The book is color coordinated. All the bird lover does istell the color of the bird — black,brown, blue, gray, green, orange,red, yellow or white — and go tothat section of the book and startlooking.

In the blacks, you'll find thedouble-crested cormorant.

In the browns, the fox sparrow.In the grays, the pygmy

nuthatch.And so on.It's kind of a bird guide for

dummies — and people who wantto get a lot smarter in identifyingwhat's flocking to the backyard, orsitting on that wire.

I'm envious ofbird experts. Ihave a neighbor who can lookto the sky and determine everykind ofhawk by their silhouette.I can identify the red-tailed hawkbecause, well, of the red. Beyondthat, I'm hopeless.

I'm also envious of people whocan identify every bird by sound— for example, the whi-whiwhi-whi of the white-breastednuthatch."Birds of Oregon" won'thelp you much here. But it doesoffer information on why and howbirds migrate and why bird watch

ing can be a fun and rewardinghobby.

Northeast Oregon is a birdwatcher's paradise. It's a hobbya person can pursue whetherthey are hard up or drivearound in the Porsche. All ittakes is a good eye, or a set ofbinoculars, and keeping a keeneye on the sky.

Tekiela, the author, lives inMinnesota and loves to hunt birds— not to blow feathers off of thembut with a camera. He has authored more than 100 field guides,nature books and wildlife audioCDs covering the avian wondersin nearly every state in the nation.

tion so he makes it easy withsharp, colorful pictures and interesting descriptions.

Each entry covers size, description of males versus femalesversus juveniles, what the nestlooks like, eggs and incubation,fledging, migration and favoritefoods. He also tells readers whatother bird this bird most lookslike.

Some ofhis factoids in"Stan'snotes," which complete the page,are fascinating. Take the American goldfinch, for instance."Usesthe silky down from wild thistlefor nest. Appears roller-coasterlike in flight."

Of course, even I can identifythe male goldfinch because, well,it's gold. The female is morebrown, butif I see a perky birdabout the same size as the male,and in close proximity, I know Iam on the right track.

Or take the great blue heron.As Tekiela notes,"often barkslike a dog when startled. Nests incolonies of up to 100 birds."

Tekiela's guide covers 130 of themost common birds in Oregon. It'sjust a window on a much biggerscene, as Tiekela says almost 500varieties have birds have beenidentified in the state over theyears and 800 throughout NorthAmerica.

As far as I am concerned, 130is plenty to propel me into mynew, fun and inexpensive hobby.Every morning now I look for myfirst bird of the day. Whether it'sa hawk or a hummingbird, orwhether it's black or blue, findingthat bird is a great wa y to startthe day.

National Guard groupperforms concertfor whole family

ENTERPRISE — Tunes from"Frozen" for the children andpatriotic tunes for the adults willring in the mountain air whenGeneral Dischord visits Enterprise Thursday.

The small group based in Clackamas will perform a free concertfor the Courthouse Concert Seriesat 5:30 p.m. at the gazebo. Peopleare encouraged to bring lawnchairs and picnic baskets.

When at full strength, the grouphas nine woodwind players and aFrench horn. It's a small piece ofthe larger 234th Army Band of theOregon National Guard.

The Enterprise performance,to which the whole family iswelcome, culminates a five-dayvisit to Northeast Oregon. Earlierperformances included ones atHalfway Sunday, the Elgin OperaHouse Monday, the Summit Grillon top of the Wallowa Lake Tramway Tuesday and a children'sconcert at the Enterprise gazebotoday as the culminating event inthe public library summer reading

Band members are looking forward to their outreach mission.

''We're going to focus on paying

tribute to both currently servingand formerly serving veteranswith some patriotic numbers andservice songs," said Jesus Cruz, aflute player and team leader of thegroup."That's one of our missions— to pay tribute to those veteransand their families and the soldierswho have fallen."

General Dischord startedseveral years ago as a woodwindquintet and has grown from there.Like all citizen soldiers, they holdother jobs in their communities.Many of the members of General Dischord are middle school


and elementary school teachers.One produces independent films.Another is a surveyor. Cruz is anelectrician.

General Dischord's music ranges from songs written for classicalquintet to military marches andpopular contemporary tunes. A lotof the music is arranged in house.That's because the tunes need tofit the skills of woodwinds playingsongs written for full bands.

"For example, when we're doinga Sousa march and we don't havebrass except for the French hornplayer," Cruz said."The challengecomes in those big bombastic moments, and we need to arrange thesong so the woodwinds can givethe march the life it needs."

''We need to write the song insuch a way that it can be heardwith minimal equipment, microphones and amplification," hesaid.'There's just not much outthere written specifically for usso we can't do as much music aswe'd like to without arranging itourself."

General Dischord does 30 to40 performances a year. Theseinclude summer concerts as outreach to the many communities inOregon. The band also stays busyproviding musical support for military ceremonies, social events forsoldiers and their families, retirement or promotion ceremonies oreven such events as the dedicationof a bridge.

a< l~i>i IWill the Internet listen to your private conversations>By Michael Liedtke

SAN FRANCISCO — Like alot of teenagers, Aanya Nigam reflexively shares her whereabouts,activities and thoughts on Twitter,Instagram and other social networks without a qualm.

But Aanya's care-free attitudedissolved into paranoia a fewmonths ago shortly after hermother bought Amazon's Echo, adigital assistant that can be setup in a home or office to listen forvarious requests, such as for asong, a sports score, the weather,or even a book to be read aloud.

After using the Internet-connected device for two months, Aanya,16, started to worry that the Echowas eavesdropping on conversations in her Issaquah, Washington,living room. So she unplugged thedevice and hid it in a place thather mother, Anjana Agarwal, stillhasn't been able to find."I guess there is a difference be

tween deciding to share somethingand having something capturedby something that you don't knowwhen it's listening,"Agarwal saidof her daughter's misgivings.

The Echo, a $180 cylindricaldevice that began general ship

ping in July after months of publictesting, is the latest advancein voice-recognition technologythat's enabling machines to recordsnippets of conversation that areanalyzed and stored by companiespromising to make their customers' lives better.

Other increasingly popularforms of voice-recognition servicesinclude Apple's Siri assistanton mobile devices, M icrosoft'sCortana and the "OK Google"feature for speaking to Google'ssearch engine. Spoken commandscan also be used to find somethingto watch on some TVs, and an

upcoming Barbie doll will includean Internet-connected microphoneto hear what's being said.

These innovations will confrontpeople with a choice pitting convenience against privacy as theydecide whether to open anotherdigital peephole into their livesfor a growing number of devicesequipped with Internet-connectedmicrophones and cameras.

The phenomenon,dubbedthe"Internet of Things," promisesto usher in an era of automatedhomes outfitted with locks, lights,thermostats, entertainmentsystems and servants such as the

Echo that respond to spoken words.It's also raising the specter of

Internet-connected microphonesbeing secretly used as a wiretap,either by a company providing adigital service, government officialswith court orders or intruders thatseize control of the equipment.

''We are on the trajectory of afuture filled with voice-assistedapps and voice-assisted devices,"Forrester Research analyst Fatemeh Khatibloo says.'This is goingto require finding the fine balancebetween creating a really greatuser experience and somethingthat's creepy."
