Sc one Ç Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August ~ 2001 Si: Happy 25th Anniversary HaviHO summer s really come and gone? What a trip! From Around Home v by Roy Forrester For this article I'll have to take you back a month in time. It's not that you are going to gain anything as to your age, plus or minus, but rather it was the launci i of a birding outing outing for some 35 kilometers through t tie Carden Alvar. The Alvars are globally rare habitats supporting threatened and ed species. many endanger Vegetation is restricted by shallow soils and outcrops of limestone. Most of the area- is ranch land but birds do <pdst. The area is the uld well knov ers.

Dwn and not spend time at the Sedge Wren marsh. We were in luck with two such birds appearing over a period of a half hour. Possibly the smallest of all birds. t The marsh is also home to bull frogs, all with deep deep base calls. The tour also pointed to a small colony of Purple Martins which have been off my list for a number number of years. Our sighting included HAPPY BIRTHDAY! three Osprey nesting along a causeway near Dalrymple Lake. They no doubt were encouraged to nest in the area by the man-made platforms. The best time to make the tour is during the month of June but you can edge this earlier or later. A twenty page booklet for this driving trip is available available through the Corporation of the County of Victoria, P. O. Box 9000, Lindsay, Ontario K9V 5R8.
