s man a small part in natures chain tribune october 12 1988 cis by art briggsjude the many fringe benefits derived from watching creatures such as birds include a growing appreciation of the various other subjects that form a part and parcel of the outdoor world such an interest soon spawns the realization that the beautiful feathered creatures are actually orjly one small link in a great and intricate chain- ja finely bonded natural mechanism has its beginnings in such things as minute pond life and encompases in its vast sphere of influence the whole en vironment and even the destiny of mankind itself as autumn approaches with its cfuickening pulse of bird migra tion the opportunities for observ- tions along these lines increases i one need not dwell in some remote wooded area for exam ple to witness natures way of rjeforestation the backyard birdwatcher or tbe rural observer have equal op- pjfrtunities to study the bluejay ot the squirrel as they practice an ageold planting

almost every tree in which they peck such depredations are a defence that helps keep the in sect hordesin check without ever eliminating them entirely sometimes during the opera tion of a bird feeding station we may be saddened to see a hawk swoop in and take one of our favorite songbirds other wasps sting their victims into submission before taking them back to the colony to feed their young the

large caterpillars are actually wasp eggs these will eventually produce tiny lar va of their own that will feed on and kill the large grub to the interested observer the world of nature is a never ending source of amazement so wide is its scope and varied in its character that people who have devoted their lifetime to its study find they have in reality wemoms doors open 130 mturmytsundav

tragedy of a hummingbird impaled on a spiny thistle the unmatched beauty of a woodland orchid or the infinite construction of an orioles nest each new discovery is a wonder in itself tips clips while duck numbers are generally lower than normal the goose popula tion continues to increase to help local wildfowlers harvest some of these surplus honkers my neighbor ron brusseau and myself have volunteered to go to james bay and see if we cant scare some of these big white cheeked birds down this way again this action though seem ingly harsh is a measure design ed to limit the numbers of that particular species for its own good the fact that the hawk may also have removed a diseased bird from the otherwise healthy ranks must be considered before any bad judgment is passed the brightly colored butterflies still gracing our landscape on the warmer days also draw our at- tenton to some of the happenings in the insect world its interesting to note that the strikingly marked orange and black monarch butterfly migrates to mexico on the other hand another fragile member of the butterfly family the shaggywinged mour ning cloak may travel only as far as a crevice under your back veranda
