By Bill Sherwonit, Anchorage Press: City Wilds: Remembering legendary Anchorage birder Dave DeLap
Preliminary results for Anchorage’s 2021 Christmas Bird Count (CBC) have been reported and based on the initial compilation of data, participants in the Dec. 18 count observed 44 species and 13,137 individual birds. Among the “unusual” birds noted by compilers were a great gray owl, two trumpeter swans, a northern flicker and a flock of snow buntings. But what was most unusual—and most notable—about this year’s count was an absence. For the first time in more than a half-century Dave DeLap did not participate.

Upcoming Activities

Thursdays: Our History will kick off for the 2022 season with a program by local historian Doug Capra starting at 7 pm Thursday, Jan. 20 in the Community Room. His focus will be on John and Ginger Davidson — the last homesteaders at Driftwood Bay. In August 1977 the Davidsons and their 3-year-old son left Seward harbor in their small open boat to head for home. They never made it. Doug is writing a multi-part series about the Davidsons for the Seward Journal newspaper.
Artifact of the Month

The December Artifact of the Month is a Selective Service Medal awarded to Leon Urbach for his work on the local draft board during World War II. Leon Urbach established Urbach’s clothier in 1915 and lived in Seward until his retirement in 1954. The Selective Service Medal was designed to be given to uncompensated personnel. Many of these people were volunteers who gave their time in the evening and on weekends.
