More About Evening Grosbeaks Last week I reported a single Evening Grosbeak at our feeder and that -in fact it had been some time since I had seen this specie of bird. t could have been that it flew to the Village from the Eighth Concession. Sue DaCosta, a resident of the Eighth, has reported a flock of 30 to 35 Evening Grosbeaks have been, comlng to their feeder for the past six months. t is the flrst year that Sue and Jim have put up a feeder and besides the Evening Grosbeaks they have been enjoying appearances of Blue Jays, Cardinals, American Gold Finch and other Finches. And as well, from across the road, sightings of Wild Turkeys. This sighting of course is not associated wth the feeder. And what do the DaCosta's feed? Nothing but Black Sunflower Seed. From ail we read it is the number one bird feed. Our own feeders are rather active of late and Donna reports the retum of Pine Siskins and that both Hairy and Downy Wood- peckers are constant customners to the Suet box. Talklng about Wood- peckers we did have a phone cali from Isabelle Wright from, south Newcastle wanting to know if I had ever, seen a Haîry Woodpecker with yellow on the underside of its wings. 1 was a little cautîous about this at first just in case I was being tested. Isabelle and 1 did corne to terrns that the bird she spoke of was a Yellow-shafted Flieker and admittedly had a black polka dot body. 1-t happened that the bird had hit the wlndow, breaking its beak and doing itself totally in. "What will I do with W?' "Where is it'?" "In my freezer, Grandson Bily may want to see it. "Bury it". Bill Bunting and I spent some time on a Ganaraska Forest Trail last week making a sighting of four or five Hermit Thrushes travelling through the understory. There are four Thrushes that do pass through southern Ontario in migration and with three possibly spending the summer in suitable habitat. SA week previously I had sighted two Swaînson's Thrush in the Ganaraska. The Hermit Thrush has the habit of raising and lowering its taîl as it did last week making for an easy identification. But also there is a definite difference in the colour on its back and that on the tail from a ollve-brown to a noticeable rusty colour. Ail the Thrushes have a melodious song as does the similar Veery. The report in from Prince Edward County is that the early Warblers are appearing in small numbers. t wlll soon be a flush of Warblers and then with the return of the Indigo Bunting the migration of birds should be completé. A number of the Warblers do stay over in such habitat as the Ganaraska Forest. By the way Isabelle Wright has a theory on our backyard Chlckadees building a second nest. According to the theory the first nest is to be a storage shed for excess food. This just might be so. t goes back a number of years when Bob Faulkner of the Orono Estates was cleaning out a bird house for summer occupancy.he found it over haif full of Black sunflower seeds. No doubt some enterprîsing Chickadee hoarding the Nuclear incident at Darlington At no time during the heavy-water spili in reactor number 4, at the Darlington Nuclear Plant, were any members of the public or the ýtation's staff at isk, explained Darlington site Vice President Bob Strickert. The spill of 100 liters of heavy water which contains tritium, was collected'into a confinement room designed for this purpose.. The spill was stopped within two hours, and is believed to have resulted from a valve prob- lem. The reactor was'on a scheduled maintenance shut down when the spill occurred. Strickent likened the spill to a small radiator leak. 0f the 300,000 litres of heavy water in the system, 100 litres leaked out. In his report to counicil on Monday night, Strickert stat- ed that the accident should havîe been rated an 'abnormal incident' rather than an 'onsite emergency'. seed hoping for a jump in price or a next year poor crop. l'Il keep an eye open on this one. Itfs in the shade and there's a log to sit on. 89, 2) Charles Stapleton - 81, 3) Reid Harness - 78, 4) Lii Boiderstone - 78, 5) Bernice Pantner - 77;, Low - Walter Murphy; Draws - Walter Murphy, Clara Meuleman, Thelma Vagg, Esther Allun, Don Fhompson, Helen Couroux, Ann Julicher.
