KIM HEAPS PLAYS Buttercup in the McKenzieSmith production of the Gilbert and Sullivan classic HMS Pinafore There are two separate casta for the operetta One of which will perform on Wednesday and one Thursday of next week Two owl species in Halton The Acton Wedn April B7 by Jeff Harvey During the tatter stages of February and continuing through April tbe Great Homed and Screech Owls are Marching for mates At these times It quite easy to bear their calls during the nighttime hours The voice of the Screech Owl is considered by the to forecast death or the omen of coming misfortune Of course these beliefs are merely old wives tales and bear no truth The Screech Owls call consists of a low and long tremulous whistle with a quavering quality about It Some Individuals do not quaver or alter the pitch and the quality Is more clearly defined They can be lured quite close by playing the calls loudly and repeatedly on tape recorders The Screech Owl occurs In open woodland groves shade trees and field edges and may nest In bird boxes but usually in hollow trees They are llest owls only eight Inches long The plumage varies from owl to owl as some are gray while others tend to be more red dish brown Tbe variations In colour have no relation to age sex or season These small owls raise one brood of four or five young annually with an Incubatlonal average of 26 They are invaluable birds In that they feed on great quantities of rodents which do great harm to field crops Small birds reptiles Insects and frogs may also be eaten at different times Though more common in the United States they are widespread and are commonly seen In Halton where proper habitat exists The Great Horned Owl Is one of the most savage mem bers of Its family This powerful bird of prey feeds on a wide assortment of birds and small mammals notably skunks rabbits mice grouse ducks crows and rarely poultry At these times when raiding tbe henhouse It can be con sidered destructive Crows despise this bird and have been known to gather In huge numbers around a doxlng owl and caw at the top of then voices After several attempts the wary Intelligent owl Is usually able to escape its tormentors The Great Homed Owl bunts on dark days at dusk or at night It Is quite targe and the Female which Is some what larger than the male may attain a length of 23 Inches lite voice Is made up of between five and seven low boo calls generally six in tblsrhtytlim pause boo Rarely individual birds emit a loud piercing shriek This owl Is the most common In North America In Halton County it can be found In either deciduous or mixed where game is readily available The nest is usually an old nest of a hawk crow or squirrel high In trees but hollow limbs and cliff ledges are frequently used Two or three young are raised with an Incubation period of about so days of owls re valuable in helping to maintain a balance In nature between the opportunists predators and the herbivores Thus it Is essential to prevent the ex tlrpatlon of these from the countryside Advertising on arena boards Halton Hills is considering allowing advertising on the ice making machines and around tbe boards of the rinks as a way of making money Councillor Walter Biebn said it Is done in all sports events in Europe and could see no reason why it cant be done here Recreation Director Glen Gray said he Is looking Into the
