Murray; Hinschberger, Curtis (1) and Brenner. Carpenters of the Forest There are over 400 different kinds of woodpeckers, and they are found in all parts of the world except Australia and Madagascar. Algonquin Park has six species of regular oc- currence and two more which are recorded only on rare oc- casions. The "regular" wood- peckers are Hairy, Downy, Pileated, Black -backed Three - toed, Flicker, and Sapsucker. The rare birds are Red-headed and Common or Northern Three -toed Woodpeckers. " The three -toed woodpeckers may seem to have unnecessar- ily long names, but they are perfectly descriptive", Algon- quin Park naturalists explain. All other woodpeckers have four toes, two directed forward and two backward -- an adap- tation to their habit of clinging to the sides of trees instead of perching on branches -- but the three -toed birds have two for- ward and only one backward. Among local woodpeckers they have another distinction -- the males have a patch of yellow on the head, while the males of all other kinds are marked with red. "Except for the fact that they Bag Limits On Waterfowl There will be an increase in the daily bag and possession li- mit on certain species of water- fowl in Ontario for the 1964 season. The daily hag limit of five ducks this year may con- tain two canvasbacks or t w o redheads or one of each. The daily bag of wood ducks also has been increased to include not more than four wood ducks per day, The possession limit for wood ducks will be eight; possession limit for canvas- backs and redheads hall not ex- ceed the daily limit. These are more liberal regu- lations than anticipated; thus they do not correspond with the information contained in the 1964 summary of hunting regu- lations distributed by the De- partment of Lands and Forests. The changes are based on re- cent data obtained by the Fed- eral Governments of Canada and the United States which have final jurisdiction in set- ting waterfowl season. The bag and possession li- mit on geese (in the aggregate), rails, coots and gallinules (in the aggregate) remains at five per day, ten in possession. Wil- son's snipe and woodcock each have a limit of eight per day and sixteen in possession. In the Southern District of Ontario which includes the counties of Brant, Bruce, Duf- ferin, Elgin, Grey, Haldimand, Halton, Huron, Kent, Lambton, Lincoln, Middlesex, Norfolk, Oxford, Perth, Waterloo, Wel- land, Wellington and Went- worth the season for all species opens on October 3 at 11:00 a, m. E. S. T. and closes on • December 15, 1964. peck holes in trees, woodpeck- ers may seem to be rather un- interesting birds, but their phys- ical adaptations are 'well worth a second look. All of us have seen how they cling to the sides of trees, propping themselves with their tails which are made of stiff, pointed feathers for that purpose but we do not see the marvellous tongue which is round and barbed on the end like a spear. This is controlled by special muscles which en- able it to be thrust out for sev- eral inches and make it possible to secure wood -boring grubs and ants which would otherwise be far out of reach. "Although we commonly re- cognize a woodpecker by its habit of hitching its way up the side of a tree, it is well to re- member that two of our local species seem to have difficulty making up their minds how to act and if we judged them only by what they do we could mis- take them for something else. The flicker, although it is quite capable of working in wood and makes its nest byhol- lowing out a cavity in a stand- ing tree, may often be seen perching crosswise on a limb, and what is even more confus- ing, hunting for food on the ground. This accounts for the frequency with which people ask about a big brown bird seen on the ground, with a black crescent on its breast and a white patch on its back when it flies. The flicker has simply learned that sitting beside an anthill, spearing ants with its tongue as they run in and out, is much easier than chopping them out of a tree. About 50°,1, of its food is made up of ants, and more than 5000 small ants have been found in the stomach of one bird. "The sapsucker is another woodpecker which does not con- fine itself to pecking wood for a living. Everybody has seen the rows of little holes it ma kes in the bark of trees in order to reach the sap and the soft layer of cambium between the bark and the wood, but it also is not unusual to see it fly out and snatch an insect from the air with all the skill of a real fly- catcher. Like the flicker, it has learned to pick up food from the ground, especially when it has young and a lot of food is needed in a hurry, it may often be seen gathering in- sects from such exposed places as a paved road, This may well account for the fact that we find more sapsuckers than other woodpeckers killed on the highway. " The sapsucker may best be distinguished by the large white patch on a dark wing; the hairy and downy woodpeckers have a white breast, black wings with white spots and a white stripe down the middle of the back. They are very similar except in size; the hairy as big as a robin. and the downy noticeably smal- ler. "The almost crow -size, black and white red -crested pi- leated can hardly be mistaken for anything else. The black - backed woodpecker is slightly larger than the hairy and is distinctive with its shiny black back, dark gray striped sides, and, in the male, a yellow spot on top of the head. "One North American wood- pecker has the doubtful dis- tinction of being among the birds on the verge of extinction and it is quite possible that it has already gone. This is the ivory -billed woodpecker of the southern United States, and although it has been reported during the recent years in re- mote swamps of Louisiana and Florida, it is almost certainly beyond saving. It was similar to our pileated but larger and with an ivory -coloured bill. "Not so long ago it seemed possible that the pileated could go the same way for it was shot by every hunter because of its size and brilliant colours, but this was stopped in time and it has made a remarkable come- back in recent years." Whitechurch Loses Series On Saturday evening the Whitechurch Junior C team lost the OASA series to Beamsville when they played in the Wing - ham Park. The score was4-2. Dustan hit a 3 -run homer for the visitors in the sixth inning. Alex Craig hit a home run for Whitechurch in the eighth.
