W. 'I‘uits, Chief Federal Migratory Bird Officer for the Maritime: who resides st Wolf- ville. NS. paid a short visit to the province last. week. Mr. Tufts reports ring-necked pheasants quite plentiful in the Annapolis Valley whereas Hungarian partridge have shown a sharp decline in the past two years. The pheasants appear tc withstand hard winters better than the Huns. Mr. Tufts also start» ed that they have had an open ~ season on pheasants in Nova Sco- tia for several years. Cock birds are legal game only as Hen pheas- ants are strictly protected. Killing off the surplus birds has had a beneficial affect and bettor hatches have been notified since the open season was instituted and the pheasants have been in- creasing steudiiy despite the an- nual toll oi male birds taken by lninters. The plmamnt is s. wily, resourceful bird and once he has been hunted for a few days closes that he has a whole bag of tricks to fall back on. With the open season on ducks only a month distant hunters are eyeing the trusty shotgun lying athwart the pegs otvéler the door and are wondering w t their quota of shells will be this coming fall. The latest word on the rationing of shells is that 6 boxes will be allowed for sporting purposes this coming season. 50 shells, or i/wo boxes, was the quota allowed last fall Then-e is s posaibility that the restrictions on shotgun am- munition may be lifted entirely before many months have passed. Black ducks are beginning to raft along the edges of tidal flats at low tide. This is a. sure sign that they are able to fly Be- fore they are rtbie to take wing they are inclined to skulk in the sedge and along the reedy shore- lines. Blacks are the most even- ly distributed.
