Rain Saved T Young Ducks And MuskrcIis

l'his week‘s warm rains have put our farmers in a happy mood. The strawberry crop was on the verge of disaster and turnips were withering in a bed of dust. Rai'm also benefits our wildlife. Broods of wild ducks are reyelling in brimming ponds and ﬂooded swamps. During periods of exten- ded drought mother ducks 'have to lead their brood-s over lon g stretches of open country in or- der to reach life saving water and suffer heavy losses in so do- ing.0nce a crow spots a brood in difficulties he calls in all other crows within hearing and in a matter of minutes a gauging at- tack is in progress. Often whole broods are wiped out on such a journey. Many young muskrats perish during periods of extended drought. A few years back ponds dried up and left their beds criss-crossed with gaping cracks for the first time within memory. WELCOME RAIN

A bounteous “ainfall benefits every thing and every one. Worms remain on the surface, not several feet underground, and robins have no trouble in feeding their hungry brood. _I have watch- ed them hopping on a lawn when suddenly one will stop, cool: its head to one side. take a few hops and pull a big fat earth worm out of the ground. What amazes this col-umis-t is that I have yet to see one break in the process. It comes out intact in all its fat, squirmy length. .Let you or I try it and it comes out in sections. Insect life, including mosquitoes, is exceptionally abun- dant this summer thanks to the rain. Sunday afternoon I watched a tiny, bright yellow song bird having the time of its life along the shore at Langley. The: bank was quite high with outcroppihgs of shale along its face. The tiny buntress would fly from one shelf to another scaring up in- sect life in the process. Some were so minute my eye couldn’t pick them out but she'd ﬂash out in a yellow curve_ and I’d hear her beak snap shut. She made over_ twenty kills in a few min- utes. If it were not for our birds insect life would take over des- pite the latest in insecticides. FIRST HUNS '

The first covey of Duns of the 1950 crop was reported to me

this weak. It was large but the.

youngsters who saw it didn’t ling- or “PM. the count. Their dog figured he was in for some snappy sport so they hurried him oﬂbonnJit‘stoobadﬁmttsomc adults are not nearly so Md: erate of our wildlife. The Hun batch is at its peak on July twelfth or therea-bou-ts. Farmers who have mowed over .nests on or about July 12th reported the chicks ready to break out of

" their shells if they had not al-

ready started pecking small op- enings. Pheasants on the other hand often have their broods able to make short ﬂights in early June. , ‘ Reports of bears having beén seen are heard every few years. Recently a Character from North Lake .tn’ (ii! an; other like Character from Upton relating an acount of his meet- ing With a bear. According to his story he was returnln from a Wag expedmon. Dark noss caught up with him betore he got out of the Woods. At a point on the trail where the path branched out into two forks he noticed a tall, dark bush standing beside one fork where he didn’t remember a bush there bellore. Being at a curious na- ture he walked up to the bush and lit a match and found him» self staring into the heady eyes of a big, black bear. Accord- ing to his own story be exhibited

to which he attributed his life. Still holding the lighted match before his face he quietly back- ed away. To quote his own words

“I took one fork and the bear took the other” FISHING BEAR

Not to be outdone the liorth Lake resident told of an experi- ence he had with a. bear early this spring during smelt run. Quietly moosing along the brook at the head of North Take he heard a crunching sound follow- ed by loud smacks. A short dis- tance farther on he came upon a huge black bear standing on a log and scooping out smelts. She’d. bite the head oﬁf and chew it down and throw the best part of the smelt on the bank where her two cubs were curled up asleep. The bear uttered men- ancing growls but it didn’t phase our North Lake Character. He walked up the cubs and tinned each one over with his ﬂoat. To quote his words: “One was a male and the other a female. They didn‘t wake up so I kept on walking” I’m very ‘much a-

fraid that under such circum- stances the mother bear Would have pulled the seat out of his pants, in nothing flat and it would have been a case of him running with the bear behind.
