The St. John Berchmen Altar Society has cancelled the February meeting. Starlings The Starlings that have been flit- ting about this winter must have sought the heavy bush from the cold winds as very few have been seen the last few weeks. Flocks of these birds are with us yet. They settle in the bare trees in my yard until the trees appear to be on the bare ground, they quickly fly away. Because of the unusual weather and little snow this year, they are late leaving for warmer climates or_ else they are becoming more climatized to our Northern environment. Starlings are an old world bird family that had been brought from Pastor, Rev. Jim Johnson. Phone 824-2402. sprouting black leaves.

See you there! % OFF ENTIRE STOCK Rossport events Europe in the late 1890's to this continent to destroy the spruce moth that was infesting this tree. The moth and larvae are their favorite food. These birds are often a menace to farmers because they destroy fruit trees, corn and tree buds. They do good in some ways but otherwise, they are real pests. They form in large flocks in the thousands and descend even into wheat fields, like a huge black cloud. Starlings are often mistakened for blackbirds. This bird is really quite easy to recognize with its strong, short yellow beak, short tail feathers and duskey coloring. They take over other birds' nesting sites and build and line them with twigs, grass and leaves. They multiply fast in numbers. They are pugnacious in character and will attack other species of birds, squirrels or cats that venture into their territory. They are scrapy, tough and fearless. They haven't a song for us but they have a pleasant whistle and chattering tone that is attractive. Wolves A black wolf has been seen this year frequently in the Rossport gar- bage dump area. These fierce looking animals with large tearing teeth are often seen in this part of Ontario. Now that the orderly dumps are available, wolves enjoy foraging for food there. Wolves are the larger members of a family that includes dogs and jackals. Wolves are found in the Northern hemisphere all around the world. The most familiar kind is the common grey wolf. These animals prefer the rough rocky country well forested and high above the rest of the territory to be able to see long distances. , These animals are reported not to be a danger to humans unless they are very hungry. They feed on deer, moose, rab- bits, squirrels; also they prey on goats and sheep in high areas. The wolves today are so ac- customed to seeing humans, cars and dwellings that they rarely back off but stand watching them. (I prefer to keep my distance if I'm in my car for example. I just do not trust them). Some slip off to the brush and forest borderline and follow along' out of sight. Wolves are often seen at dusk in our village as they cross to and from the islands where they hunt deer and caribou. As many as eight to ten car- casses, partially eaten by wolves, have been found on the islands. The crows and ravens have a feast on the remains.
