Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 25, 1986-3 ilebrates Fortieth Wedding Anniversary Asks town to remove new high-float surface A delegation of Mr. and Mrs. John Waters of the Courtice area, R.R. 2 Bowmanville, representing eleven property owners on an exten- tion of. Bloor Street approached council on Monday night asking that a new road surface be removed from their road and that the road be restored to its condition prior to a High-Float treatment. ' Mrs. Waters said the new asphalt surface was washboardy, had ' an uneven surface and that dust was causing all problems. She said the gravel used was coarse with large sized stones. "We were satisfied with what we had, not with what he have now," she said. She said their road is an alternative route for Highway 2 and has a high volume of traffic. What he had before was excellent and we had no complaints, she said. Counc, Hubbard said a High Float treatment had been undertaken undertaken on .Wellington Street in Bowmanville and that it took almost a month and a half before it settled into a pleasing result. Mrs. Waters said she. still requested requested the High Float surface be removed.

Finally the Wood Duck , It has been some time since I have written anything about birds- but then soccer did interfere for a couple couple of weeks. I suppose it was some eight years ago that 1 became really interested in identifying birds which was the beginning of Atlassing for birds in Ontario. In the beginning ducks, in their great variety, gave some problems but over the years we now feel comfortable comfortable in being able to give an immediate immediate ID to this class of birds. The Wood Duck, although it is rather common during the summer in this area, is one that has escaped our, viewing until a month ago'when Bill Quitting and 1 made a viewing in a* marsh area in Manvers Township. We had just driven up to a creek running through the marsh when a female Wood Duck passed under the bridge with a brood of at least twelve young ducks but unfortunately unfortunately was soon out of sight due to a bend in the river. As far as'birding goes this made our day on that particular early Sunday morning. ■ ■, Some time ago we read an in- ' teresting article on Wood Ducks who nest mainly in hollows in dead trees in such as a marsh and the nest can be from fifteen to thirty feet above ground level. The young leave the nest with the female almost upon hatching and of course do not return. The article stated that any attempt attempt to raise Wood Ducks artificially artificially in an incubator had always met with failure until such time that it was found that it takes that initial drop onto the ground from the nest to put all things right for the young duckling. How valid this is we are not sure but then nature does have many interesting interesting features to consider and on which one can be amazed. ! ing the Wood Ducks I could report that I often get phone calls rcialint! to birds most often asking for identification. The call might go something like, "what kind of bird has "red and white on the chest and is about the size of a robin". Its a difficult task for the markings arc 'generally sketchy in their description. description. A month ago such a phone call came to the office with the bird having having , round brownish spots on its chest and down the most part of its underbody. It was a dull brownish colopr above and possibly a little less in size than a robin. I was rather amazed at the confidence confidence the caller had in the description description aiyl the detail they h*d given even to the bill on the bird. When asked if the bird had white bars on the wings the answer was a definite no and when asked if it had an eye ring the answer was a definite yes, I thought I know how many times 1 have to look at a bird to get such detail and then often 1 will question myself to whether or not 1 had seen what I t.hought I had scan. The call was at a time the Wood Thrushes were passing through this sprinf and all information from the caller was that of such a bird. Giving this opinion I then asked how in the world they could give such detail having to leave' the sighting tojnake the phone call. The answer was very simple. "The cat had brought the bird into the house". .This in itself was another feature that strengthened the Wood Thursh theory for the Wood Thrush is a ground feeder and would be travelling through the under brush at this time of year, easy prey for the cat.
