Young families arriving 1For birders every period of Uic year has some interest. Birds aie cither travelling north or souUi as Uiey completed their cycle of life for Uic twelve month period. Birders are generally cither out sighting birds moving in a northern or southern direction depending on Uiceturne of Uic year. There is a period however when this north/south movement cornes ta a stop. t is Uic nesting period and runs through June, July and thc first part of August. July has been targeted as the major period for the rearing of young birds. 0f course Uic birds have staked out Uieir territory being sure that Uic aiea is suitable for a constant food supply, for protection and nesting. The birder at this time of year is flot intcrested in staging aicas as in Uic spring and fail but rather ýnterested in seeking out those areas in which birds have selected for tic raising of their yeung. t is there that the action is at tuis period in turne. As a result Bill Bunting and I travelled off to the Ganaraska Forest on Sunday being sure Uiat in certain areas certain birds would be persent. Naturally tic Oven birds wcre siging out from Uic forest floor in hardwood bush areas. This bird is quite abundant and can easily bc heard but seldom seen. Another bird of Uic forcst, again maini he i hardwoods is the Red Eyed Virco. Its song is simliar to that of a Robin but rçpeated thre te four times. The bird is generally heard and found in the upper portion of a tal hardwood. On Sunday we did hear Uic bird singing and within mnutcs it was located, on a srnall dead limb at the top of a tree. This was most convenient as the bird is oftcn hiddcn in Uic leaves. Another of -tic abundant Vireos is Uic Warbling Virco and this bird provided itsclf on Sunday for a sigiting as, t searched for food in the lowcr branches of Uic hardwoods. This bird is flot only fairly abundent ini the forest but also is in the buiît up areas. Warbling denotes its song. t wasn't long on Sunday for us to become aware that another of the late summer arrivais was back, the Indigo Bunting. Once you learn the song of this Bunting you neyer forget ils as being one of the most raspy of ail songs. Although we heard the bird it was off ini the distance., We did know however that we would be walking into an area where the Indigo Bunting had made their home ini former years. Yes, the bird was back and our first glimpse was with the aid of bright sunlight to set off the irridescent blue. The Scarlet Tanager is another resident of the forest where it liewise raises ils young. With its continuai six to seven syllable song it played hid and seek with us. Finially after haif an hour the black and scarlet rcd of the bird was sighted. The bird had been sighted in this particular area in other years. Up to this point the day had been quite good. Why flot finish the day off with the sighting of nesting blue birds. There are a number of locations known for brceding blue birds in the Ganaraska Forest aiea and it didn't take long to find a pair busy around a house on a fence post just outside the forest. In fact the birds had the use of a short-grassed pasture, a mowed lawn and a cultivated gaiden. Whilc, we visited the site the birds made use of ail three areas. It would be intcresting to know what.attracts a particular bird to a particular aiea. There is no doubt that the existing food supply is the major reason. But we were questioning the what, when and where on Sunday. A recent article did note that for survival some warbler species do require that eight different food supplies must bc available at specific periods during the feeding period of the young birds., In this case thc chain han at least eight mnterwovcn linkages. We wcre quite pleased with the sightings on Sunday. -i (24 KRt* SERVICE1 CAIL (905) 983-5647 MOBILE (905) 432-4834 RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL - En viron men talIly Friendly - Owned and operated by Dwayne and Alvin Souch.
