Orono WeelcIy Tîmes, Wednesday, Mayr ~O, 1292 - 3 Comrp'unity Care registers growth The Orono Horticultural display. Society Spring Flower Show was There was much to talk about a maze of colour with an with the above group on the excellent collection of spring selection and the colour flowers and arrangements on' displayed. Another bird migration season is ahl but over or at Ieast will be, by theend of the week with the exception of- some of the, stragglers. There just hasn't been time to catch too many as they passed through this year and the hot spots haven't been visited wîth the exception of one hour at Point Traverse in Prince Edward County on Saturday afternoon., Point Traverse is somewhat of a finger running out into Lake Ontario in the south of the County and from our viewpoint is one of the better locations to view warblers as they corne north. It is a short stay in that area for the birds but when the mun is on it is a busy place. it does seern as if the area is not that well known by birders as are places such as Point Peele, Presquile and Long Point. As a result the area is not crowded with birders and one can sit in peace letting the birds move along to be viewed. An hour doesn't give one much time but on Saturday it was rather productive as far as warblers were concemned. It was the more spectacular warblers that camne into view -that made the trip worthwhile. Included in the parade of birds was the colourful Amnerican Redstart as well as the Bay Breasted, the Blackburian and Chestnut-sided and all in full colour. They are easily identified due to thecir distinctive splashes of colour. 0f course the Yellow Warbler was well represented going through the bushes and to add just another dash of colour was the, Rose Breasted Grosbealc with its blood-red chest, black top and white wing patches and under body. It was this bird that added to the Ganaraska Walk for S AGA on Sunday. It made it presence noted with its song and to later appear in-person for a most convenient viewing by the sixteen who were present. For most in the group it was a new bird. The Rose Breasted which had always passed through to a more northern site for nesting bas slowly been edging fartier south for nesting and are becomning a sumymer resident of this area. Both Bill and I rather enjoyed the SAGA forest walks and the some 45 who took part over the threce Sundays were most in- terested in the story of the forest, the identification of trees, the forest's purpose, its early spring plants and a srnall number of birds coring into view. The staff at the Forest Centre were most helpful and there is no- doubt that Bill has a real library of knowledge on the development of the forest having been part of the systernthat saw, to the plantings of what were, in rnany cases, blow-sand areas. According to Donna on Monday evening there was a phone caîl asking identification of a beautiful blue colouired bird about Sparrow size. No doubt it was an Indigo Bunting and if it happens to be In prc(gra1f The anniaî -meeting of Newcastle ComfillUlflty Cârs ftnd COPE once again noted a busy year with expanding programs and expanding dlentelle. It was a time, the annual meeting, to once again pay tribute to staff and the many volunteers which has made the Community Care program a success in the Town of Newcastle. Betty McGregor, chair of'the executive outlined the expansion of staff at Community Care and noted a computer lînk with the Town of Newcastle Library system. The computer link is a most welcomed addition to the operation of the organization and with provision of information. In brief the foot care clinics continue to expand with 120 appointments monthly. The report also notes the setup of a Fniendly Visiting Program with suitable match-up from volunteers with clients. The COPE-program continues with success with not only one-on- one match ups but also with group involvement. Community Care continues to oversee the Good Neighbour program and report Tom Webb chosen as Good neighbour of the Year from nominations that were received.
