Laidlaw wants to mine Newtonville area dm A week of rest one could almost caîl last week, a week of rest. The snow is a little wet for cross country skiing and there is a small down blip in tbe -arrival of birds from the soutb, The weatherman is not going to improve outdoor conditions for skiing but the change will be beUter for the return of the birds. Waterfowl will bc in the front line, for the rest of this month and you can rest well assured it will bc off to Presquie Park for at least the next couple of weeks. For those wisbing a good birding experience waterfowl are one of tie best because tbey stay still long enough ta zero-in for an identification and tbey corne in large flocks at this time of the year. Presquile Park over the next two week-ends sbould be excellent for a waterfowl outing especially on March 26th and 27tb. Blinds are erected for viewers and those witb all the bird knowledge are there ta belp) in making identifications. Tbey are a friendly group and ready ta answer all questions and to bring a close look througb tbe viewing scope s that are provided. All was not lost last week bowever and we were able ta enjoy tbe recently cleared ski trais on the tree nursery property out from Station Street. Late Thursday was a day that one could hardly resist witb bright sunshine and a good covering of snow. A little sticky in places but passable. It always seemns that a temperature at and around zero degrees does make it difficult for cross country skiing. It clogs up on the bottomn of the ski and at times impossible to pusb or kick ahead. The outing did bring in somne birding as a Coopers Hawk beld bis percb in a maple trec while we passed witbin fifty feet of the tme. Kept an eye on us but didnt take off. 'Me round corners of the tail were most obviaus from bhis perched position along witb the cbest and side-body markings. It was an easy identification. 1No doubt the Homed Lark bas been around witb us for at least the past montb but our first sighting came Sunday wben a couple were feeding along the roadside on Best Road at the corner withthe Seventh lins. Ibis is not an uncommon place ta flnd these birds at this time of year. Tbey have been noted in this location in otber years. Sid Rutherford always reported a pair of Horned Larks appearing at the end of the lane every year and always about the same time. There bas ta be sometbing about sucb locations as baving tie right environment for the birds. No doubt it is best tbey keep it a secret. T'here is no doubt bowever that tbey do find weed seeds in the short grass alongside tbe roadways. That's il for this week and just maybe we could have sometbing a little more interesting for the coming week.
