But this week 1 arn just go- ing to take the lime but for those non-bird loyers you will have to just once more put up with one more bird story. About a month ago Bill Buinting and 1 had spent a couple of fruitless hours along the baniks of the Baxter Creek which flows into Mlillbrook in search of b irds 10 record. The evening was iln and ik appeared the birds had just up and vacated the area which has in the past been quite eventful. Tripping along one of the trails wve did however both pull up short at about the saine lime being îantalized with one of the sweetesi fragrances we had ever en- counteredt tinthe bush. II took some lime to discover the source of the fragrance but we did discover that it did cornte fron thle blossom of the wild grape. A few weeks earlier Bill and 1 had run mbt another fragrance which also stops one in their track to discover the source. On, this occasion Bill was well aware from what bush and blossom il camne and immediately started looking for the Canada Plum which grows wild in the bush. He was flot long in locating the bush and, its fragrant blossom. On our way home, just ai dusk, from the Baxter Creek trip 1 suggested to Bill that we take a few minutes to view a marsh area that runs on both sides of the road with a con- siderable amounit of o)Pen water. I had seen Blue Wing- -d Teal ducks in the marsh and was interested'if îhey wvere still hang'ing arounid. On arivaI we hele gr"eeted ms aerial displa3l that ce- tainly was new to me. Up- wards of eight to ten Nighthawks were swooping around the bushes and small trees, skimming over the water, darting- and turning sharply here and there. It was a real aerial display and these birds can change direction in the flash of a se- cond even with throttle ful out. No doubt their supply of' food for the evening was at this level and just above the water surface. Certainly, if it was mosquitos, they were out in for-ce. Nighthawks are flot .a rare sighting by any means for they are often seen circlîng about in the evening above ci- ty buildings and forested areas, but always, to our knowledge, high in the sky. Since seeing t he birds at the water level 'we have read abouit everything we could finid on the night hawks and it is always mientioned they are high flyers. Bill and 1 stood on the road way -with the marsh area on both sides and without stret- ching the imagination some of the Nighthawks came within twenty feet of where we were standing. The display we saw was well wvorth the trip. 1 have returned to the same location a couple of times since and the Nighthawks have always been there ai dusk, but high above the t rees. Perhaps we will neyer have the same opportunity again t0 watch these birds so perfo rm so close.
