Love Michele, Rick, Jason and Brandon A ncw foirmaf Orana entetaitnmcnt It had been my intent ta uptiate local happenings as Uiey relatedt t Uic returfi of birds ta Uic area ftam down souibL But it so hapens that as ta thc outdaarlilfe lin Uic arca a couple of mankcys, escapees from ic Orano Cat Worlti, have etigeti out birds as die top stary. These-two monkeys arc seen on a continuaI basis ii Uic narth enti and cspecially im Uic Orono Estates' arca and even close ta, the downtown arca. It sens they travel in Uic waoded area along Uic Orona Crcck and have been daing so for thc past couple of weeks. Residents of Uic Orano Estates report their sighting even ta Uic point Uiat Uic twa can be seen sitting an the decks -anti swinging through Uic trees. One report came in with onc travelling alang the clothcsline before tropping ta Uic graunti and ien making off into ic bush. Wc untierstanti the two arc native of Siberia and thus are accustamedto thUiccolti anti the recent outtiaar living is flot apparently affccting them in - anyway. - As ta ibeir capture they have flot been hanging araunti whcn people try a dloser, contact. They are off anti running.-In file meantirne Uiey do pravitie somcthing différent anti unusuaL. Well back ta ic birds anti we can report that ic Tundra Swans, a couxit of twenty-twa on'Sunday, have returnedto tei field just north of Jim Rickards off Uic side roai., These birds wcre resident of the area last ycar andi stayeti for ai icast four weeks awaiting thc opening of thc watcr ii thc high north. The Rickard corn fieldi certainly must be sustaining life for these birds as they rcst over for the remainder of their trip. The birds have also been noted -at the Cranberry Marsh in thc south of Whitby. These birds are quite spectacular andi of a large size. Speaking of thc Cranbcrry Marsh there is now a spot of open water andi an Sunday reports of a Glacous andi an Iceland werc matie. Bill Bunting and I hati visiteti thie marsh but had flot made an individual scan of Uic hast of guils on Uic ice so missed ieictwo birds. One of Uic mast unusual birtis reporteti for the area bas ta be a Bramllng north of Part Hope. The bird is a migrant from Uic Aleutians anti is at tînes sighted in Alaska. It is a small five inch bird, brown, black and white, and has been feeding at a feeder along with a flock of American Gold Finchi. It is of ic fmnch family. RoUi Bill anti I have matie a couple of trips ta Uic site but wiUi na success. It will become bot anti heavy very shantly for anc of thc first arrivais, thc Redwing Blackbirti, You may wondcr why a picture of Madonna la above. You will note four whiie dots on Uic nase. Look anti concentrate on Uic dots counting slawly ta 35. Then look at a white or light, coloureti wall or sheet of paper and caunt slowly ta 15. Anti what da yau sec? Ainazing.

The old flu or at least cold bug, caught with me, so I didn't attend Church. Congratulations ta Glen and Hope Foster, who becarne parents on Thursday, March 7th, a son. 1 did manage ta attend ta the show put on by The Pipers Hut on Saturday night. I caret remember when 2 hours passed by se quickly. from rollicking shanties ta emotional ballads, the rnusic cantinued to hold the audience, you could have heard a pin drap, while Zthe singers and musicians were prOrming The wholce vening was P 4elight te hear. We certainly have ý- y alçnted people in tis area of whorn wc can hoast but tbrough Bernie Matin, we are getting te see and hear a different type of program. Perhaps it is just that 1 arn getting o1der, but dbis show renii-nds QfAlic minstrel shows, that used .ome to thc small conirunities andi perform for us. There was no T.V, so this was a taste of the perfornîing arts we coulti cnjoy. Just Uic oUicr day 1 heard Uiem talking an the radio about a man that was getting beautiful music fram playing an glasses, I Uink Uicy Uiought Uiat was somcthing new. By filling glasses te différent levels and running yaur fingers araundtheUi rixns, différent notes can be sounded. That usedt t be anc of Uic higliliglits of thec shows alsa Uic bell ringers. Ta get back ta Bernie, I have scen his anc man shows anti now The Pipers Hut, also beart i hm play on the fitidlc and the hammcred dulcinier, he alsa plays a mean penny fife.
