On February 22, 2009 areplica of the Silver Dartflew once again over theice of Baddeck Bay tocommemorate 100 years offlight in Canada.Unfortunately, the weatheron February 23 in Baddeckwas not good so theorganizers of the eventdecided to make the flightthe day before when theweather was near perfect.

Some of the guests thatappeared on the showincluded pilots from someof the Squadrons on theWing as well as Major BobJohnson who is the

Commanding Officer for thelocal air cadet Squadron.Acting Wing CommanderLieutenant Colonel DaveCummings as well as theCommanding Officer for 14Air MaintenanceSquadron, LieutenantColonel Philip Garbuttdropped by to beinterviewed by the host.

Canadian Tire Automotive Service

Greenwood Location Only

For more information call Greenwood Canadian Tireat 765-6337 and ask for Jim.

One of the most agonizing noises acar owner may every hear is thescraping or grinding sound of anautomatic transmission that is low onoil. Even in a well insulated car, themetal-to-metal sound is awesome,says Jim Luddington, Service Managerfor Canadian Tire Greenwood.

According to Canadian Tire, atthe first indication of such a noise,the transmission fluid should bechecked. If the level is low, addingfluid may correct the trouble.

If the noise persists, the culprit couldbe a clogged transmission filter whichis preventing fluid from reaching thepump. The result, the transmission isstarved of fluid, with eventual destructionof the pump and other components. Thiscan add up to a very large repair bill.

The above mentioned horror storyshould never happen, says Jim, ifautomatic transmission fluid ischecked regularly (at least as often asthe oil is changed) and if fluid and filterare replaced periodically.

Jim recommends checking fluidonly when the vehicle has been run

for a few miles after the enginehas reached normal operatingtemperature.

Check to see if it is discolored,rather than pink or red, which isnormal. When fluid has turnedbrown, this is an indication that ithas been burned. Note also if it

smells burned. Burned fluid shouldbe drained and replaced, along

with the filter.Jim also notes

that the tip of the

dip stick should be cool enough totouch; an automatic transmissionshould operate at 150° - 200°F. Severeservice driving, which can overheatthe transmission, may call for theaddition of a transmission cooler. Fluidlife is greatly extended when it is keptwithin normal operating temperature.

Most types of “severe” servicedriving require most frequent fluid andfilter changes, as well as other periodicservices, says Jim.

This type of service is describedas follows:• Frequent idling for long periods of

time, such as stop and go drivingin heavy traffic

• Sustained highway driving in hotweather.

• Towing a boat or trailer , or carryingheavy objects on a rooftop rack

• Driving in dusty conditions.• Prolonged operation at sub-zero

temperatures.• Driving on steep hills or mountains

on a regular basis.Preventive maintenance is critical

to long, efficient car life. When it isneglected one’s sense of sight, sound

to Noble Manta, the road toItaly for our squadron to putGreenwood’s upgraded“Block II” Aurora aircraft tothe test in a major exercise hasbeen a huge, but yet excitingchallenge!

Greetings from Crew 2 inSigonella, Italy. The US NavalAir Station (NAS) Sigonella islocated on the island of Sicily,and is host to the world’slargest Anti-SubmarineWarfare (ASW) Exercise inthe world. Eight nationsprovided 6 submarines (subs),10 surface ships and 13aircraft. Those involved inthis exercise in the Ionian Seajust south of Sicily besidesCanada are Italy, Germany,Greece, Turkey, France,United Kingdom, and theUnited States. This was agreat opportunity for theseeight countries to test,compare and evaluate theircurrent Airforce and Naval

Eagle Speaks from Noble Manta(both ship and sub) ASWtactics. There were also ampleopportunities for crewmembers participating in theExercise to fly with otherNationalities, to see first handhow other countries worktogether and used theirtactics. On some of our flightswe were privileged to havemembers of the Turkish Navyfly with us so they could seehow we operate in a sub-hunting environment!

For those that don’t knowexactly what Noble Manta is,probably the best way todescribe this exercise and itsimportance is from an excerpttaken directly from the NobleManta 2009 website. “NobleManta is a live exercise seriesaiming to test doctrine, newoperational equipments andenhance inter-operability ofparticipating forces throughjoint training, familiarizationwith NATO procedures, andthe opportunity to learn eachother ’s capabilities. The

exercise was conducted in acontinuum free play but incycles, to provide equaltraining opportunities to theparticipants. Submarines havechanged their roles in eachcycle, so as to practice bothdefensive and offensivetactics. The success of theexercise is reflected inoperational statistics thatinclude 12 days of combinedanti-submarine warfareactivities for participatingsurface units, 570 hours ofsubmarine versus submarineoperations, and more than 80sorties by participatingaircraft. Furthermore it aims toprovide operational training inpotential tasks/roles andmissions of the NATOResponse Force (NRF) as wellas in the fight againstterrorism.”

After all the Administrationand Briefings werecompleted, the exercise finallygot under way. Our firstmission was quite busy and a

good flight to work out a lotof kinks and get used to theAurora’s new equipment.

The next mission was anight flight, which went a littleeasier, but on one occasion ahelicopter was flying low levelin our area. We couldn’t makecontact with this helicopterand neither could our zonecontroller. In the dark flyinglow level, at times down to 300feet above the surface, itquickly became a flight safetyhazard. Since we couldn’tmake contact with the otheraircraft on the radios, or keeptrack of him, we had to pull upand climb to 3000 feet forsafety reasons. Now when wetalk about hunting subs, flyingat 3000 feet is not where youwant to be because you can’tpursue the sub, and you can’tdrop any sonobuoys whenyou don’t know where thehelicopter is. When you can’tdrop sono’s, you can’t findthe sub unless he comes tothe surface and says,“Yoohoo, here we are”! Sothings turned into a SurfacePatrol for us, which is funnybecause this is a long wayfrom home just to identifyships and boats when we dothat at home on a regular

basis!Our Squadron

Commanding Officer andChief Warrant Officer (CWO),Lieutenant Colonel Jim Irvineand CWO Mark Flawn, finallyarrived and managed to fly acouple of trips with us. Theweather here for our first fewmissions has been beautifulfor flying. Seeing the lights ofItaly and the lava of Europe’slargest active volcano,Mount Etna, in the nighttimefrom 8000 feet is spectacular!

During our last night flightwhile returning to Sigonellaafter our training mission, aswe were flying in and out ofclouds, I noticed a brilliantblue light trailing our aircraftwhile the props were creatinga magnificent blue ring ofstatic. I did some research onthis phenomenon and foundit to be what they call SaintElmo’s Fire! As much as itwas beautiful to watch, itcould’ve been extremelydangerous to both theaircraft and our crew but wedid manage to get back andland safely!

Despite our participationbeing cut short in NobleManta, it was a great successfor us in many aspects. In

addition to the opportunityfor our Squadron to completesome well-deserved UpgradeCheck rides, it was also agreat chance for 404Squadron to be able tograduate some of theirstudents in a more realisticmanner. Congratulations toour “canary” Captain JonCyr, Lieutenant Gerry Collins,Master Corporal KyleSpearin, Corporal’s KeithChurchill and Matt Whyte ontheir respective upgradesand graduations.Congratulations also to IanPerrault and Duane Osmondfor their first major exercisein their new positions on thecrew.

Before I sign off, I’d like totake the opportunity to say aquick thank you to “all” ofour Detachment Staff whotook care of the headachesand Administration, so wecould just concentrate on theExercise. Also a “HUGE”Thank You to ourMaintenance Personnel from14 Air MaintenanceSquadron who’s hard workand long hours kept us flyingand enabled us to do whatwe trained to do!

ANNAPOLIS VALLEY REGIONAL SCHOOL BOARD

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROGRAM

The calendar indicates thatSpring is here. There arepromises of birds coming backhome, buds on the trees, maplesyrup, crocuses, warmer daysand of course, daffodils. If thefrozen ground has not alloweddaffodils to show theirbeautiful blooms, theCanadian Cancer Society willenable you to adorn your tablewith a bouquet. Daffodils willbe on sale April 1 to 4 for $6.00for a bunch of 10. JohnMacEachern, who hasrecently moved to Middletonfrom the Toronto area

remembers that in the 40’s, hedrove with his mother in theirstation wagon to “MaltonAirport” which was Toronto’sAirport to pick up boxes andboxes of long stemmeddaffodils. The boxes reachedthe roof of the car. He askedhis mother where the flowerscame from and she told him“Hawaii”. He then asked herwhat they were for and shereplied she was going to sellthem and give all the moneyto the Canadian CancerSociety. Later, someone toldJohn that his mother started“Daffodil Day’ in Canada.However, she was so modest

that she would never tellanyone on her own howinvolved she was as avolunteer.

April is a busy month forthe Canadian Cancer Societysince it is dedicated as Cancermonth. Along with sellingdaffodils, we have the door-to-door campaign whenvolunteers will knock on yourdoor asking for a donation.

For the past 18 years, inconjunction with the daffodildays Middleton volunteershave hosted the Celebrationof Hope. The Celebration ofHope was in honour of HopeDragan of Nictaux. She was awife, a mother of 5 childrenranging in age of 3 to 13, anurse at Soldiers’ MemorialHospital and had served as anursing sister in the RCAF. In1973 at the age of 46, she wastold she had breast cancer.She had a doublemastectomy and wasrecovering from that when, ayear and a half later, she had arecurrence of the disease. Sheasked God to give her 10 moreyears in order to see herchildren grow, at which timeshe would publicly thank Himfor sparing her this time. Thefirst celebration includedfamily and friends. Hopehosted a party of more than200 guests with a potlucksupper, dancing, and non-alcoholic punch; and anti-smoking signs weredisplayed. Hope believed in“getting on with it” and thatcancer had made her a betterperson. She provided supportand comforted other cancerpatients. After a 15-year battlewith cancer, Hope passedaway on January 11, 1989. TheAnnapolis East Unit is proudto have been an inspiration forthe Celebration of Hope in

Hope’s honour. While theCelebration of Hope inMiddleton will not be heldthis year, we hope to host itagain another year.

Each and every day, theCanadian Cancer Societyimpacts the lives of peopleliving with cancer, and ourreach is felt in communitiesthroughout Nova Scotia. In2008, 5800 Nova Scotians werediagnosed with cancer. 6% ofthese cases occurred in KingsCo. and 3% in Annapolis Co.

The Lodge That Gives inHalifax provides a “homeaway from home” for thoseundergoing treatment ordiagnoses for those livingfurther than 50 km fromHalifax.

8.8 % of those staying atthe Lodge were from KingsCo. and 3.3 % of AnnapolisCounty in 2008.

Camp Goodtime is a campfor children ages 7 to 15 whohave had cancer or are goingthrough cancer treatments orhave a brain tumor. It is a campwhere kids can be kids for aweek and not have to thinkabout cancer. It is a verypositive atmosphere forchildren who have not had apleasant experience. 13% ofCamp Goodtime campers arefrom Annapolis and Kings Co.

On April 3 and 4, theCanadian Cancer Society willhold their third annual Ideas,Insight, Inspiration patientconference, bringing NovaScotians living with cancerand their families togetherwith the medical community,survivors and otherstouched by cancer. Ideas,Insight, Inspiration providesa forum where all aspects ofthe cancer journey can beexplored and experiences canbe shared. Whether you are

in the midst of cancertreatment or have completedyour treatment, thisconference is for you andyour family. In 2008, 48 Valleyresidents attended thisconference.

The Canadian CancerSociety’s mission is theeradication of cancer and theenhancement of the quality oflife of people living withcancer. The Canadian CancerSociety helps fight all 200types of cancer. Your donordollars are spent wisely inorder to provide theseservices. Our advances, in somany ways, are linked tosuccessful cancer research.

One of the most amazing aspects of my work is bearing witness tothe growth of family relationships. Often when I first meet any clientthe storying focuses on the problem, “I know he doesn’t carebecause…She never follows the house rules…How can I trusthim…”. This makes sense; after all it is the problem which has takenso much of our time, energy, and hurts our hearts; ultimately stealingfrom our relationships. It is easy for us, all of us, to focus on theproblem as being the culprit “If it wasn’t for that lady hanging aroundhe never would have had the affair”, rather this is often a symptom,a festery, messy, achy symptom. In focusing solely on the problems,we miss the natural opportunity to grow; we cannot see the forestfor all of the trees. By making a conscious choice to see our lives,and relationships, differently we demand that the problem step backand invite opportunity for solutions and change. One small shift inbehaviour, “I’ll tell him I love him every morning…I’ll empty thegarbage before mom asks me…I’ll call her on my lunch break to justsay Hi”, will ripple and elicit a whole host of shifts. These changesare not done with the goal of making the other person shift; ratherwith genuine curiosity to see what the difference will be.

I challenge each and every one of you to create change inyour relationship. Over the next week seize the opportunity toshift your pattern of interaction with one person you have afamily relationship with: your partner, spouse, child, sibling.Without telling the other person what you are doing, select asurprise. Keep it simple, achievable, and meaningful to the otherperson. Perhaps your wife is always asking you to dry thedishes; maybe your father expresses frustration when you don’tput your hockey bag away. For one week commit to completingthis surprise every day. Your task is to pay attention to whatthe other person does different in response, notice the ripple.

Don’t Try Harder…Try Different.

Through theEye of the PSI

The GMFRC Warmline Program has graduated 11 new volunteercallers, culminating in the distribution of over 60 new files. The Warmlineprogram was developed as a tool to ensure that military families remainconnected to their community during deployments. The Warmline callersdonate their personal time to call our deployed families each month;sharing programs and services, empathy, and most important, an ear tolisten. A vast majority of the Warmline callers have also experienceddeployments, and can therefore hear from a place of unique experience.They echo the stresses and achievements of our deployed families, androle model managing deployments and giving back to a giving community.

From all of us here at the GMFRC, thank you Warmline Callers. Yourcommitment is recognized and your energy is respected.

SALE ENDS APRIL 4th/09

Last article the Spartanswere off to Provincials hostedby Pictou County. This was agreat event, showcasing thetop seven teams in theprovince and a good chancefor the kids to make newfriends from other areas of theprovince.

The first game for theSpartans was against theSydney Steelers. With thisbeing the first meetingbetween the two teams, it tooka while for the boys to getgoing. Once they got theirfeet moving they took controlof the game winning 5-3.Scoring for the Spartans withtwo goal efforts was ZachMoody and Alex Rawding,single tally by Grant Janes.Goaltender Bryceon Wade.

Western Valley Peewee ‘AAA’ Spartans at ProvincialsMVP Zach Moody.

Next up for the Spartanswas the Bedford Blues. Thiswas a very hard fought battlebetween the two teams withgreat action at both ends. Inthe third period the Blues tiedthe game at two goals apieceon a power play. The rest ofthe period was filled withsome great action with theSpartans taking the lead 3-2later in the period. The last 10seconds of the game was amad scramble in front of theSpartans net, the Bluesthought that they pushed thepuck over the line but thebuzzer had already gone,Spartans winning the game 3-2. Scoring for the Spartanswith a two-goal effort was AlexRawding and a single tally by

Emmerson Coulter. GoaltenderKyle Gordon. MVP AlexRawding.

With a good start to thetournament for the boys nextup was the host team PictouCounty. This was the secondgame of the day for the boysand right from the drop of thepuck the boys had a hard timefinding their legs. They losttwo forwards early in thegame due to slightconcussions and had a hardtime battling with theiropponents. They had manychances to pull even with theiropponent but just could notget the right bounces.Loosing the game 4-2.Scoring for the Spartans wasZach Moody and BradleyBoone. Goaltender Kyle

Gordon. MVP Grant Janes.So, with a record of two

wins and one loss theSpartans were still in goodshape. The next game wasagainst South Shore and amust win for both teams toadvance to the Semi-Finals thefollowing day. This game didnot start out bad for the boysbut early in the first periodforward Alex Rawding brokehis wrist, this was a big lossfor the boys and they tried topull it together. But, in the endit was South Shore winningthe game 5-1. Scoring for theSpartans was Grant Janes.Goaltender Kyle Gordon.MVP was Brad Boone. Foranybody that knows Alex youcan rest assured that he stillhad his same sense of humourabout him as he was rushedoff to the hospital. He is nowhome resting and is alreadylooking forward to hockeyseason next year.

Next up for the boys wasthe skills competition.Representing the Spartanswas Zach Moody in forwardskating, Brad Boone inbackward skating, GrantJanes in puck handling,Connor Morse in accuracy

shooting, Emmerson Coulterin showdown shooter andKyle Gordon in theshowdown goaltender. Foranybody that has gone toprovincials this is one of thehighlights of the weekend. It’sa great chance to see all of thebest players in the provinceshowcasing their talents. TheSpartans were wellrepresented with all of theplayers either placing 2nd or 3rd

in their events, with specialmention going to KyleGordon for winning theshowdown goaltender. Welldone by all of the boys fordoing a great job in all of theskills.

Next up was the waitinggame for the boys, there wasa possibility of a 3-way tiebetween the Spartans, PictouCounty and the SydneySteelers buying for the lasttwo spots in the Semi-finals.The last game of thetournament was the SydneySteelers against Cape BretonCounty. If Cape Breton wasto win then it would be Pictouand the Spartans taking thelast two spots for the semi’s,if Sydney wins then theywould advance to the semi’s

due to the goal differential andthe Spartans would be on theoutside looking in by twogoals. The game looked liketwo very tired teams with theSteelers putting on thepressure, winning the game inthe end 5-2.

So with this the Spartansrun at provincials were over.The boys were disappointed,but in the end they had a verygood run, finishing 5th in theprovince - Nothing to hangtheir heads about. This is agreat experience for the boysand hopefully they madesome new friends andmemories that they can keepfor a lifetime.

Congratulations have to goout to the Sydney Steelerswinning Bronze, South Shorewinning Silver and the HalifaxHawks winning Gold. As well,we would like to say thankyou to Pictou County forputting on a great ProvincialTournament including ahospitality room, whichwould only be second to ourvery own.

Next up for the boys is ateam ski trip, tournamenthosted by Yarmouth and ayear-end banquet.

Cover StoryLast week, 413 Transport

and Rescue and 103 Searchand Rescue Squadron’s(Squadron’s) deployed toSydney, Nova Scotia for a

joint Search and Rescue(SAR) exercise. 413Squadron plans an exerciseof this nature each year,but this was the first timethey had the support from103 Squadron in Gander.This exercise is a great

training opportunity aswell as a chance to sharemutual experiences andknowledge. All crews hadpositive feedback fromworking with the otherSquadron. SAREX 2009was a great success

despite having been calledoff a few days short due toa real Search and Rescueneed.

SAREX is extremelyvaluable training for all thevaried parties involved.The entire Squadronexercises its ability todeploy to a new locationwith only an eveningsnotice. As you can imaginethis can be a logisticalnightmare. Everyone fromthe clerks in the orderlyroom to the Officersassigned to be the SearchMasters have many jobs todo and many decisions tomake. As we take thenecessary steps to startthe theoretical search theaircrews begin theirtraining.

During the week, therewere two CC130 Hercules,six CH149 Cormorants and

two Civil Air Search andRescue Associationairplanes which scouredthe South Eastern coast ofNova Scotia looking fornine hidden targets andone major crash scene.They also took advantageof the fantastic weather topractice their hoisting andwater work. The main SARscenario consisted of adown Grand Caravanaircraft that crash with 12persons on board,including eight inmates.The crash locationprovided a challengingenvironment to the aircrewdue to the confined areaand the great number ofcasualties.

As stated earlier, it wasnecessary to call off theexercise and deploy toSaint John’s,Newfoundland on

Thursday, March 12, dueto the tragic crash of aCougar Helicopter flight 91.In this unfortunateinstance, a Sikorsky S-92with 18 souls on boardcrashed into the NorthAtlantic just 90 kilometresoff shore. Due to theresources available to usbecause of the exercise, thecombined Squadrons wereable to launch twoHercules and fourCormorants in under 30minutes from notificationof the incident. Overall, theSquadrons gave aphenomenal effort whereprofessionalism anddedication weredemonstrated by all. Thisaccident certainlyreinforced the belief thattraining exercises likethis are of extremeimportance.

When searching for employment, particularly in ruralcommunities, networking is key. Statistics show that 85% of jobsthat are available are never actually posted in the public media,but filled with employees known by the employer. It is thereforecrucial to your job search to get your face out there and makeyourself known to employers, business partners, friends, andacquaintances and let them know that you are in search ofemployment. Career assessment tools and employment fairs arealso very helpful in defining your areas of interest, especially ifyou are unsure of where your talents fit best. You may also wantto try joining job search groups such as the one offered at yourlocal GMFRC, or volunteer with organizations to get you in touchwith appropriate business contacts. There are many options whenit comes to getting yourself known in the business communityso be seen and known by all potential contacts – you neverknow when they could be beneficial in your job search.

If you are in search of employment and would like moreinformation on networking or on employment services ingeneral, contact Stephanie Townsend, Coordinator of AdultPrograms and Employment Services at the GMFRC (902) 765-1494 local 1816

Curtiss-Reid Rambler

Submitted by: Bryan Nelson, Executive Director, CanadianAeronautical Preservation Association

Historic Aircraft that Playeda Significant Role in

Canadian Aviation Heritage

Le Curtiss-Reid RamblerIn February 1928, W.T. Reid

left Canadian Vickers to buildhis own aircraft, forming theReid Aircraft Company inMontreal. Reid had developedplans for a two-seat biplanetrainer with the goal of sellingit to civilian flying clubs thathad recently been formed insupport of a Governmentprogram. Before the aircraftcould go into production, theCurtiss Aeroplane & MotorCompany bought Reid Aircraftin December 1928, renamingthe company Curtiss-ReidAircraft Company.

Reid’s design was theCurtiss Reid Rambler, wasrevolutionary in Canada, witha metal-framed fuselagecovered in fabric and wingswith Warren truss bracing sothat the wings did not requirebracing wires. The wingscould also be folded so thatthe aircraft would fit into asmall storage space, therebynot requiring a large hangar.The prototype flew on 23September 1928 with

The Rambler was wellreceived but had two majorhandicaps – it appeared justas the Depression started, andthe flying clubs did notpurchase the aircraft.The RCAF boughtaircraft in support ofthe flying clubs, butthese were deHavilland and Avroproducts becausethe RCAF believedthem to be superior tothe Rambler.

The Rambler wasm o d e r a t e l ysuccessful, with 36being built,including theprototype. Curtiss-Reid was its ownbiggest customerwith 11 being used

at the Curtiss-Reid FlyingSchool. The RCAF boughteight initially for its own useof which at least five wereprovided to civilian flyingclubs when the RCAF tookthem out of service. TheRambler also had some exportsales, with two going to India,and one each to Argentina,Chile and Hong Kong.

Reid a conçu leCurtiss-Reid Rambler , unappareil révolutionnaire pourle Canada à l’époque, quicomportait un fuselage à cadremétallique recouvert de toile

et des ailes munies d’un

Leprototype a volé le 23septembre 1928, et laproduction a commencé peuaprès avec les Rambler I et II.Le Rambler III, qui a fait sonapparition en avril 1931,comprenait des modificationsde conception majeuresvisant à améliorer lapilotabilité et la visibilité.

Le Rambler a été bien reçu,mais il comportait deuxhandicaps importants – il a faitson apparition juste au débutde la grande dépression, et lesaéroclubs ne l’ont pas acheté.L’ARC a acheté des avionspour soutenir les aéroclubs,mais il s’agissait de produitsDe Havilland et Avro, car elleles croyait supérieurs auRambler.

Le Rambler a connu unsuccès modéré, 36 appareilsayant été construits, y comprisle prototype. La Curtiss-Reida été elle-même sa meilleurecliente en utilisant 11 de sesappareils à l’école de pilotageCurtiss-Reid. L’ARC en ad’abord acheté huit pour sespropres besoins, dont aumoins cinq ont été cédés à desaéroclubs civils lorsqu’elle lesa retirés du service. LeRambler a également étéexporté : on en a vendu deux àl’Inde, un à l’Argentine, un auChili et un à Hong Kong.

see Mallard, Black andMerganser Ducks in the BlackRiver, which runs throughtheir property in JeffersonSubdv. No doubt theAmerican Eagles that TedKajdas observed soaringover this area have an interestin the ducks too. The waterflows rapidly through thissection of the river providingopen water, which attracts theducks and other species thistime of year.

Gary Myers wrote: “Thereisn’t much to report fromMorden. The raccoons havebeen making the bird feedersa target for the last week orso. I have to bring them inevery night or lose the suet,bird pie and sunflower seeds;they don’t seem to care fornyger. I regularly see threebald eagles, there are twomature and one immature. Onthe shore are Red-breastedmergansers, Common Eiders,Common Loons andoccasionally, when the tide isright, Purple Sandpipers. Atour feeders we have about 40

Juncos, and an assortment ofchickadees the mourningdoves, the odd Red-breastedNuthatch and two or threeDowny Woodpeckers. Wehad a flock of BohemianWaxwings but I haven’t seenthem for a few days. Therewere a pair of robins aroundbut they weren’t at allfrequent visitors.”

Visiting Annapolis Royal isalways a treat; recently a clearsky, very light winds, low tideand temperatures near zeroprovided Barbara and I anopportunity to see Red-breasted Mergansers,Buffleheads, CommonGoldeneye, Barrow’sGoldeneye, Black Ducks,Common Loon, and a Red-tailed Hawk. We weredelighted to have lunch withour old friend Mike Black andexperience the warmth of thetown’s, off-season hospitality.Almost everyone we met onthe street and by the waterfrontstopped to pass the time ofday; expressing an interest inthe birds we were seeing nearshore.

In February, Doug and

Abby Beaman were delightedby the arrival of 100+Bohemian Waxwings, whichwere attracted to their fruit ontheir Holly Bushes. BohemianWaxwings, distinguished bytheir brilliant, rufous, undertailcoverts, are in all of NS duringthe winter. During the springBohemian Waxwings departNS to their breeding habitatin Alaska, NWT, Alberta, andBC. Cedar Waxwings remainin the western, one-third ofNS year-round and breed inall of NS and southernCanada from late May untilearly October.

Near Morden Gary Myerswas able to photograph a pairof Red-breasted Mergansersthat remained on the water’ssurface, however, they keptmost of their headssubmerged. This is the normal,fishing procedure used byMergansers; no point indiving unless there is food insight! The lens of aMerganser’s eye is designedfor underwater vision. Theyoften search, in groups, forfish or other food in shallowwater. It is not unusual to see

one or more, of the ducks inthe flotilla slap the surface ofthe water with their wings,presumably to alert othermembers that food isavailable. After capturing afish the merganser returns tothe surface to consume it.Other species, for examplegulls, monitor the huntingMergansers and takeadvantage of their havinglocated food: then takeoverthe catch and the territory.
