The president of the local teachers' federation has said that altbough the new agreement didn't contain any radical changes, its main benefit is to give the two sides some breatbing space while they are stili bound by tbe social contract. The president also said that the new contract preserved existing programs and benefits within the limits of the social contract. Lynda Brooker went on to say that the relationship between the board and the teachers is in contrast to that in other areas where attacks are being made, on teachers' benefits. She said the local board has been very fair. John Reid, superintendent of hurnan resources said he was pleased to have the new contract and that it bas corne when there is turbulence in realtionsbips bctween employers and emnployées The McLaugblin Bay Nature area, GM motors land, bas been the traget of our birdwatching over thepast week and ahalf. A large area of the Second marsh bas been tumned into mud flats due to the break through of water from the marsh to Lake Ontario. Sea Gulîs are most pre- dominate at the marsh along with a small variety of ducks, some shore birds and the find of two inmature Black Crowned Night Herons. 'Me latter are not unusual i the marsb but it bas been a number of years since we have sought this species out. The Nigbt Herons are prone te roost i Willow trees and such is the case at the Second marsh wbere at the southern end there are a number of such species of trees along the border of the marsh. Our last sighting of the two birds was on Sunday which should be nearing the limit of time that the birds will remaii this pàrt of the country before travelling further south for the winter. According to Jim Richards' book published in 1974 the latest that Night Herons were seen at the Marsh was October 2th i1951. It is undersood that the birds do not nest at the marsh but rather nest in colonies, similar to the Great Blue, farther Up the, waterway tbrough to the eastern extremity of the St. Lawrence River. A visit te the marsh just before dusk on Friday evening brought out a count of 27 Great Blue Herons in one section of the mud flats. On Sunday a small flock of Hooded Mergansers were active in the deeper waters along witb Red Headed Mergansers. The Hooded are a rather fine looking water bird. There was oee sighting of an American Coot making its way across the marsh waters. ibis bird bas not crossed our bioculars too often this year. On ail recents visit to the mars h the Green Wing Teal ducks have been romping itbe mud as' is their habit and generally any such small duck i the mud can be classified as a Green Wig. Tne activity at the house bird feeder has dropped off, of late after a brisk beginning a couple of weeks ago. Keep your eyes open there are more birds around than one expect.
