Recent heavy snowfalls
across Ontario's deer range
have, severely hampered -
deer movement between
their food supplies and shel-
ter areas. This condition
normally starts -when, snow
depths reach 50 or more
centimetres, but in the
Muskok a and Sault Ste.
Marie areas, more, than 100
centimetres of snow fell
between Dec, 9 and 10.
"We are very concerned
about how these - heavy
snow falls might be affect-
ing deer," said Natural
Resources Minister Chris.

Hodgson. "M.NR field staff
across Ontario have been
carefully monitoring the sit-
`uation through . weekly
Checks of snow depths and
snow trusts."
At key snow stations set
up by the ministry, wind
chill and snow compaction
are also being measured to
estimate Winter Severity
Index (WSI) levels. The
WSI allows resource man-
agers to predict the potential
impact the winter will have
ondeer survivalso they can
determine if . and when
emergency feeding should
be conducted. •
In several wintering
areas, or yards, as they are
often called, .trail breaking
by snow shoeing or with
snow machines has
begun.Carefully placed
trails will allow much freer
movement by deer between.
their daily food and shelter
areas..' This activity will also
help to- establish a trail net-
work to facilitate the distri-
bution of emergency foods
if required.
Many groups and indi-
viduals across the province
have met with ministry field
staff to" discuss how they.
can help deer this winter. If
the current rate of snowfalls
continue in Ontario's central
deer range, an emergency
state could be reached by
early February. At that time,
MNR will work with local
clubs and groups such as
the Wildlife Winter Feeding
Program Inc., a Muskoka-
based organization" run by
Jack Newton, to implement
an emergency feeding pro-
gram.
ro-gr.
ding, area for liumpbacks needs protection
by Monte Hummel
In a sudden explosion of
g
green .and white
water
foam, a 15 metre -long male
Humpback Whale heaves
the entire length of its mas-
sive body y clean of •the
Atlantic Ocean swells In
that brief airborne moment,
the'.ale slaps ps the. water
Y' i
with a longr
flipper., Thirty-
five
tonnes of whale makes
a titanic splash as it falls
back into the ocean,and, this
leaping male sends waves
cascadmmgpon to the beach ,of.
nearby Sable island, about
200. kilometres from the
Nova Scotia mainland.
All great whales are
known to "beach" like this,
but Humpbacks' are the
most exuberant.' At times
they frolic like their ;uch°.
smaller Dolphin cousins in
displays of splashingacro-
batthat
tics seem; to havenp
other motive than playful- .
• ness and enjoyment.
Humpbacks are also
familiar,to tis for their eiab-
orately haunting "Solve..
.
These complex vocaliza-
tions consist of a variety of
low-frequene ,moans -and
+� y
Whistles.. Often, Whale
sounds can be: heard for
great distances underwater
perhaps hundreds of kilo-
metres:..,Sometimes :the
songs -begin as:solos and
develop into full choruses
.b featu r°in°g' many Hunt, p`backs
in widely scattered loca-
tions.. , Such sounds are posh•
sibly used 'far long-distance
Cornm.uinication and, like
birdseng,- used by males to
advertise to female. It is
certain,• however, that"the
so
. ngs are most often pro
diced by males during the
winter breeding season. •
Despite their :great, size;
Humpback Whales feed
:mostly on tiny knilT s . p
like
creatures that teem in
huge- numbers for a few
swnter months in some
northern waters.
Humpbacks have been
observed to blew circular
"nets" of, bubbles around
densely.:. massed krill and
then swim through therm
with their ;mouths wide
open, swallowing the
trapped crustaceans.
In the winter; the whales
travel far to the south to
breed and dieing this time
theyeat very little, survive
ing on accumulated body fat
known as blubber.
A favorite North Atlantic
feedingarea is "The Gully",
a submarine canyon that
cuts into the continental
shelf just north of Sable
Island. Cool, nutrient-rcich.
water wells up from the
depths here, feeding' a host
of tiny organisms, that thrive
near, the sunlit surface.:
These then become food, for
,larger creatures such as the
Humpback's favored krill
which, in turn, feed a wide
variety of fish anti marine
'mammals.
World Wildlife Fund is
working with the federal
government and the-. trole-
um industry to establish
Marine Protected Areas in
these waters as part of the
Endangered Speces.
Campaign.
