Caesarea plans Spring Bazaar Eileen and I had a most enjoy- able evening at St. John's Angli- can Church, Blackstock last Friday night. First with the si- lent auction and then with the lecture and slides by Ken Car- michael on birds of the arctic. I have read about the purple martins spending the winter in Brazil and when spring comes sending an advance party of four to locate their summer home in the north. Two of them return and call on the gang to follow them while the other two hold the fort up here. The Arctic Fern beats them for distance, they go to Antarctica for our winters and return to the Arctic for our summer. Most of their life is spent like gypsies in trav- el. The Pharlope is another strange one. The male builds the nest, the female lays the eggs and the male sits on them until they're hatched. Wouldn't you say girls its something like down here with the country club and etc. Now don't get mad. There was the spruce grouse, several varieties of ducks, northern shrike, artic loons, red back sandpipers (Iunlin). He spoke of the following towns of Cambridge's Bay, Churchill, Red Deer Station. We all came away with a good prospect of what the north is like as it ap- peared in the slides. The end of the tree line and the barren wilderness beyond, loaded with wild flowers of different varie- ties, of birds which blended in with such camouflage that it was hard to make them out. We enjoyed the refreshments which followed. Thank you for a most enjoyable evening!
