ptlt 8 the tribune thursday october 19 1972 an affair with autumn by larry r johnston cool crisp air brightly coloured land scapes wood smoke canada geese this is autumn a time when the spirit is lifted perhaps by the same unexplained impulse which creates the annual phenomenon of migration for the human animal this impulse can be powerful enough to have him rise in the small hours of morning drive a hundred or more miles and penetrate the most inhospitable terrain in the land to either hunt or simply observe the migration of waterfowl for the most part he is unable to explain the motivating forces behind the unusual effort but dont think it absurd for a moment at point pelee long point rondeau park niska and jack miners bird sanc tuary at kingsville thousands of bird watchers gather to view large con centrations of waterfowl these stopover points may hold the birds for a few days weeks or months but as the big flocks move south they are replaced by new arrivals to the observer this almost constant action combined with a wide variety of waterfowl provides a generous portion of whatever it is that compels birdwatchers to pursue their pastime for centuries waterfowl have travelled south along clearly defined migration routes some biologists believe landmarks such as rivers and mountain ranges are used for navigational purposes while others theorise that the positions of the sun and moon provide the sole means of guidance no matter what means are employed the birds seem to follow their chosen routes without flaw and in ontario many of these routes merge at the locations previously mentioned naturalists whether they be hunters or bird watchers often wonder where the birds come from and where they are going and a great deal of research as been carried out in this- area bird banding operations carried on over a period of years has enabled research people to determine that black ducks from the james bay area often winter in chesapeake bay along the new jersey coast wood ducks from the marshes of central ontario may be found in venezuala canada geese from winisk in polar bear provincial park may be found wintering along the salt water mud flats of louisiana responsible hunters who collect banded waterfowl remove the band and send it to washington dc where all waterfowl in formation pertinent to migration is computerized this year special bands have been placed on the legs of waterfowl offering a 10 reward for the bands return moving south along with the waterfowl are songbirds birds of prey and birds which fall into the miscellaneous category such as crows and woodcock most of these birds may be observed with little difficulty except for the woodcock which prefers the privacy of offbeat coverage where worms may be prodded with its oversize bill privacy of offbeat coverage where worms may be prodded with its oversizebill a weekend trip to one of the birdie areas mentioned should prove interesting for you whether youre an avid naturalist or not if time is a limiting factor you will find birds migrating throughout the province and a few hours in the outofdoors this weekend should prove to be time well spent raiders fade to
