A Winnipeg newspaper man who makes no claim to being a professional bird - watcher. has found a great variety of birds. make their home in the Wooded area near the south bank of the Assiniboine River in south-central Winnipeg.

Chris Vickers says he doesn't know how many birds make their ‘home in the area between the iMidtown and Osborne 5‘ ‘cet bridges. but he has become well acquainted with about a dt:7.en.

This year. Vickers set up his feeding station on Sept. 11.

“Within a few hours I had six white - breasted nuthatches re- moving sunflower séeds from the container . . . . This is the first year I have ever made close friends with the white-breasted nuthatch."

“One was so quiet that it perched on my head. on my shoudler, even on my pipe and cameras. and accepted food from my hand."

The second Chickadee had lost its tail. .

Vickers says the pair disap- peared after three weeks and three days later a second crip- pled chickadee arrived, a bird with one leg who later became the boss of a group of four.

Other visitors during the fall months were a downy wood- pecker, a redbreasted nuthatch, a fox sparrow and a white - throated sparrow. But they later went on their way. WATERFOWL GONE

Ducks Unlimited report that the final exit of waterfowl from the western Canada breeding grounds took place Nov. 15-18. “Glimpses of migrating water- fowl during a blizzard on Nov. 18 indicated it was a movement of considerable size." says chief naturalist Bert W. Cartwright. Regarding the 1958 breeding season. Cartwright says there was little over-all change from last year. “The duck‘population remained on s nigh plateau."
