They will cail it home Sunday provided the opportuntity ta visit Jim and Nancy and the boys south of Picton, a trip that has been put off for a number of reasons over the past two or three week-ends. Other than the visit with the family 1 have been itching ta get back ta their farm property ta see just what ducks have remained in the wetland portion and ta sec what else may be making home- thraughout the varied environment that the sixty acres pravide. When it cames down ta it we were greatly rewarded, not in the unusual breeds of birds but in the numbers that have staked out their teritory and 1 am sure are about to remain. As ta the ducks at least a pair of Mallards and a pair of Blue winged Teal are in the wetland area and there could be possibly more but the area is rather secluded ta make any intense search without a lot of time. t does appear that the Greeni winged Teal and the Americani Widgeons have movcd on ta other wetland areas. >Walking down the back lane, an area that does provide an assortmcnt of bird habitat, we found, ta aur delight, a numnber of species that have taken up their home terrtary for the sumrner. In walking inta the area we heard the calîs and sangs of the Meadowlarks, a most colourful bird and anc with intcresting sounds. There were at least three or four pairs flitting about. Then -came ta the ear a sound, that at first, was unfamiliar, but perchcd atop a chickery weed in the middle of the field was a Bobolink, then there were two and again a number of families appear ta have taking up their particular areas for the brecding season. We, naw, neyer miss the sang of tie Yell ow Warbler non the Yellow Throat and bath of these species werc evident and scttled in for the raising of their families. Like animaIs and humnans, birds of one specie, will post their spccific area and other such species do have ta kcep their distance. t is thien nather easy ta deterinre if such bas becn donc, and Mien this is accomplished, anc can cxpcct thc hirds to bce there on the next trip. 0f course there cxistcd the Starinigs, Hlouse Sparraws ait the barn, Doves, the Grcckcls, the Blackbirds, Cnows and Swallows and a sighting of a Red Hcaded Waodpeckcr. We didn't really have ta, move from the rocking chair on the front porch ta hear the familiar sound of the Warbling Vireo who has taken up residence in a Manitoba Maple i the front yard. This was a easy sighting indeed and again the bird, i my estimation, will be there for the rest of the sunimer as there was a pair. Having a picnic lunch autside, in the late afternoon we wene cntertaincd by a Sparraw Hawk, even ta landing in the tree nîght beside the picnic table and then flying off again in search of inseets in the air. On brief occasions the mate did appear and it was quite apparent that it was a breeding season for these twa birds and that home was not too far away. They will be summer residents. The Blackbinds and even the Redwings made a number of feeble attempts ta scare the Hawks out of the arca but it was ta no available as likcly has been the case aver the past two or three weeks. It is interesting ta watch as life gocs on in the bird kingdom. The Warbling Virea in the miaple seemed ta have no pnoblemn finding small worms of somne kind under the leaves and in the folds of, the bark. Watching thîs bird it reminded of walking in the Ganaraska Forest withi Sid Rutherford some years ago when 1 made the rcmnark, 'I wonder why the warblcrs have not retumed?' Thie neply came back, "Lt is taa cold for the insects and the warblers are just too smart ta fly in just ta starve ta dcath." Leave iltot nature ta make the righit decision and from the selection of birds at the Wrights', south of Picton, nature would appear ta have things in balance on that parcel of land.

C an adCTa- wi de -tests (Continued from page 1) has recently stated that Ontario would opt out of the proposed Canada standardized tests because of the provinces cultural diversity. She has said that it is often prejudicial, ta those where English is the second language to those with diverse ethnic or economic backgrounds. The board put the issue off until their meeting on May 23rd when administration will provide somie background information. Carmnan however is hopeful that the trustees will support Ontario taking part in the tests and that the Ministers decision can be reversed. Director of Education Dick Malowney, for the local board said, as has the Minister, Ontario is devising its own testîng systemn called benchmarks. He said the system is an attempt ta measure standards without pitfalls associated wîth the national testing system. The province also undertakes sample testing in school board jurisdictions. The tests are designed to test how a student is doing ta what they should be doing at a particular level.
