Rambling With Lucy

Erick•E#1 and 'Bob Turner saw a Snowy Owl one day about
three, weeks, ,age, They were delivering a load ,of lumber to c-
lot on the Snowden sub-division, five miles south of Hayfield,
Bvidentiy,,;the.big bird was disthrbed by the truck and took' flight,
A few daYS later, Adam Flowers saw one on his “POndPrOsa"
within the confines of the village.
About every four years, for some unexplained, reason, the
lemming population in the Arctic shows a sharp decline. Since
lemmings are the chief diet of these large white owls, they are
forced to come south for food, small mammals and ptarmigan.
.• •
They range in size from 22 -27 inches, the female being larger
than the male: They have round heads without ear-tufts, and round
yellow eyes, The general colour is white but are more or less
barred and spotted with brown especially the immature birds
and females..Snmetimes the male is an immaculate white. Their
•voice is a deep angry "krohgogogok” almost like a raven.
The harts Snowy Owl with its luxurious feather coat is ideally
prepared for life in the cold. Its feet are densely feathered to
the tips of the toes and the bill is almost hidden in the warm
feathers ofothe face. Only the searching eyes are fully exposed.
It spurnsthe 'protection of heavy forest and frequents instead
more open expanses where winter's bitterest blasts blow upimpeded.
Unlike many Other owls this one is active during the daylight
hours, It seeks open places such as fields, prairies, marshes,
coasts shores of lakes and large rivers in migration. Perches
on the ground, fence posts, straw stacks, trees, radio towers
and buildings.
Lucy recalls Lindsay Smith, mail courier on R. R. 1, Hayfield,
telling her of a Snowy Owl perched up on a telephone pole at
the corner .of the Telephone Line ands econdConcession, Goderich
Township, in a:bowling snowstorm. That was probably about 30
years ago •
•
The Snowy Owl if left undisturbed is not vicious. And it is to
• be hoped that trigger-happy boys and men will resist the impulse
to take a shot at one of these sitting targets, and leave them to
return to .their,Arctic habitat around the North Pole. There, they
nest on tile gratilid; a slight depression often thinly lined with moss
or grass on rolling tundra. The female incubates 5 7 white eggs,
sometimes more or less, in 32 33 days.
,,.- • About the middle of December, Mr. and Mrs. Eric Earl spotted
a pair of Brobchvinged Hawks near Ilderton. One was sitting on
a fence post while its mate devoured a mouse at the foot of the
post.
Also the same week, Mrs. J. E. Howard sighted a pair of large
hawks near Clinton but they were too far distant to identify
them as Red Tailed or Red Shouldered Hawks.
Towards the , end of November Douglas Willock spotted a pair
h It should. ;:be. remembered that they are all the farmer's and
of goshawks near Kitchener. One was perched on a low bush,
while the other devoured its prey;
So the SnoWy Owls have competition from the hawks which
have notmigrated.

silver and china were used on
the century old dining table.
The usual colossal and magw
nificient Christmas dinner was
served to 41 people, including
.17 adults and 24 grandchildren
with Fred Middleton Sr. as
chief carver at the head of the
table and Dr, 3. E. Mullens
(Elizabeth's husband) at the foot
of the table. carving the 2nd
turkey.
After dinner the children
scattered throughout the house
to fish for gifts from the fish
pond or hunt for their hidden
gifts: This was managed by Mrs.
Ted Middleton.
The adults relaxed about the
dining table with coffee and Es.
toned to the senior members
spin old tales of by-gone days,
heard often before but enjoyed
once again.
,, The highlight of this and in•
keeping with the Centennial
theme, Miss Agnes Middleton
produced a 130 ye.-v old diary
of Mr. J. F. Brittain, formerly
of No. 7 Custom Court, Towers'
Street, London, England. A mato
ernal great great grandfather of
the latest generation who later,
settled at Piper's Dam, Gorier-
ich, where he owned and
operated a brewery. •
The diary was an account of
Mr. Brittains, long and event.
ful trip from England by sail-
ing ship named., The Montreal
with Captain Clifford Brown in.
charge. The trip began June 28
1840 and the boat docked in New'
York, August 17th. After landing •
and staying with friends in New
York he moved to Toronto where
he dined at Farmers Inn. and
went ' hunting squirrels and
blackbirds on Bay Street and
College Street.
All listeners sat entranced
and marvelled at the diary's
good condition and legibility for
its age. Supper was served
smorgasbord style to the same
41 plus 5 extra guests.
