A QUACK THAT WAS A CROAK Seeing wintér is over, or almost, it is now back to serious bird watching and atlassing. We have however over the past couple couple of months been watching watching for nests in the top of trees which pould well be occupied by owls. Owls do start nesting early in March and even earlier. Sunday afternoon Donna Donna and Î started out 'to first check out on a report from Bill Bunting that,he had seen a pair of Buf- . flehead ducks in a fire pond in the Ganaraska Forest and were then ..to check on some nests we suspected could be used by owls. The Buffleheads disappointed disappointed us and havp now vacated the waterhole. It could well be understandable understandable as on Sunday bikers and a helicopter above had the noise level at a considerable height. And then our son-in-law show- • ed up with two big hounds sniffing around the water hole. Donna and 1 gave up on the ducks and drove into the forest to walk on foot, a trail, where I had previously accounted some ten to twelve nests which could be home to a pair of owls and added to this we had sighted a Great Horned owl in the a . earlier. While proceeding to the trail Donna stopped and -, said, "Listen to the ducks in that small stream of water". Sure enough we . were about to get a 1 sighting of ducks. Now Donna makes a good birder having lots of patience due no doubt to the fact that it has been a trait she has had to develop living with me. Slowly we advance to the stream and when within fifty feet all goes quite. No ,ducks when we get to the bank but then we do hear them up stream and still eager for a sighting we circle around tç come upon the area that thé quacking was coming from. Again no ducks but we then hear them down stream some three hundred hundred feet so off we go again through raspberry bushes and what have you. Again no ducks they have advanced further down stream. At this point Donna and I decided we would outsmart those ducks. Donna would remain posted behind a tree near the bank and I would tàke off to circle well downstream. When I got downstream of the ducks 1 started upstream and the quacking was always in front of me some distance. The plan was working and Donna coul/d soon make her announcement she had seen those evasive ducks. Well what did they look like I asked when I was some fifty feet away. I had been considering they could be Wood Ducks because I had heard some quacking from the hillside. The 'quack' is a 'croak' said Donna and the only similarity to a duck is the web feet of these frogs. Parking (Continued from page 1) were not deliniated. It is suggested suggested there are fifty-eight potential parking spaces on- Main Street., Church, Centre and Park Streets adjacent to the business area. The area defined for metering on Main Street would end at the in- tërsection with Mill and proceed proceed south past the M & M Variety Store. Installation costs are estimated - at $24,690.00. Surveillance costs for both Orono and Newcastle Village was estimated at $15,000.00 per year. The director points out that it would require a charge of 25 cents an hour to discharge annual surveillance costs and to retire the capital cost of the installation. Annual Annual revenue at 25 cents per hour is estimated at $22,500.00 on a sixty percent occupancy rate. In estimating revenue on the basis of 10 cents an hour the amount was $9,000 which the report stated was insufficient insufficient to cover costs. The report was tabled until such time the Public Works Department could meet with the Orono Downtown Business' Association and merchants in the area. 1 was told while she sat still a number of frogs surfaced surfaced and started their singing and even on our return from checking possible owls nests the frogs still sounded, like ducks. What this knowledge will do for us I don't know- but it is often said it is a good day when at least you learn something..
