r Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, April 22, 1998 ~. 3 Evening Grosbeaks It has been some time since the gay-coloured, if you cali black, white and yellow gay, have visited us at the feeder. Such was tue case last week, on a number of occasions 'and on ahl occasions were feastlng on Black Sunflower seed. Generally they wing around in flocks of various sizes and cen be quite vocal. The flock to the north feeder was ratuer small, four in number. However it was great to see that they are still around. The last time we saw them on the property was quite some years ago when they fed on Manitoba tree seeds that had hung on turough tue winter montus. One thlng I haven't mentioned tuis year Is the continuai flight of a pair of Downey Woodpeckers and, as well, a pair of Hairy Woodpeckers to the suet rack at the front. of the bouse. There is no big flash but tuey do fly in on quite a regular basis. I was ratuer surprised on Monday to find that, the Chlckadees, possibly the saine pair I wrote about last week, were busy excavating another home. I have no communication with them but have to wonder what was wrong with the home they hollowed out last week. They were going througb tue same antics carrying the chips away from the tree and were equally as busy, one trip after another. The new home, again in a decaylng Popular tree, is no more than forty feet from the o riginel home. As far as tue Crows are concerned they must be nesting. They are present but qulte quiet which bas not been tue'case over the past month. Spent some time on tue Ganaraska Trails out of tue Forest Centre on Saturday. As far as birds were concerned it was rather quiet. However noted one unidentlfled seed eater and two Swainson Thrush which are in migration at this point and time. There were six birds of prey on display at the Forest Centre Pancake event -on Saturday. Over the past years 1 have seen plenty of Red Talled Hawks ln flight and perched, always at a distance. What a surprise to note the size of the bird up close, the head, beak and wing span. One cen understand that the nestlng birds are not to be taken llghtly. The flush of migrating Warblers will soon be upon us and that is a real challenge for most birders. If only they would perch for a while to allow time for focusing tue binoculars. That's it for this week. Orderyoâjur O ro no Tow n Hall T-Shirt by Roy Forrester You can help celebrate tue 1lOt Anniversary of tue Orono Town Hall by wearing a Orono Town Hall T-SiÉrt.

MNR urges woodlot owners to seek advice before selling Happy 5ir1;hdey to my Iovinq 5on Jo--:h frorn Momi The Minis try of Natural Resources is encouraging woodlo-t owners who are approached to seli standing trees to contact the nearest MNR office to speak with an MNR fores ter or an MNR resource technicien for advice on how to, properly carry out the sale of trees from their woodlots. In Northumberland County, advice can also be sought fromn Glen MacLeod, the local Stewardship Co- ordinator. He cen be reached by calling (705) 755-3298. The Ministry is concernied that some woodlot owners may not be getting fair market value for their trees. "Some woodlot owners, whether farmers or non-resi- dent owners, may not have a current understanding of the market value of their trees," sald Peterborough District Forester, Bob Penwell. "Lack of marketing knowledge cen be costly now, but even more costly in the future, if, unsound long-term resource management decisions are An evien ing with Tom Jacksonio% Tickets go on sale Monday, April 27, for concerts by the charlsmatlc and dynamic Tom Jackson, appearing in Kingston June 11, Brockville June,12, Peterborough June 14 and Nepean June. 15.

Several woodlot owners in Northumberland and sur- rounding counties have con- tacted MNR staff about log- gers who are offering thousands of dollars for trees of the loggers cholce. Sawlog and veneer prices for sugar maple are the highest they have every been, especially for top grade trees. Woodlot own- ers who do flot seek advice before sellmng could find that the loggers may take ail of the best trees and leave the landowner with a degraded woodlot, and compensation that is mucb less than fair market value. By contacting the Northumberland County Stewardship Council Co-ordi- nator or MNR'staff, woodlot owners may have their trees' marked by certified tree- marking consultants. These consultants work to protect the mnterests of the landown- er and can detennine what is fair value for trees being har- vested. -"Sound forest management, makes good sense and will provide for a healthy and sus- tainable woodlot for the future," sald Mr. Penweil..
