Naturalists
help hawk
Most people probably think that the
Pinery Park is provided mainly for
their own enjoyment. Not only is there
camping; skating, tobogganing and
cross-country skiing; but there are
wild birds and animals.
Keeping these wild friends in safe-
ty, are park naturalists Terry Crabe,
and Casey VandenBygaart.
An American Kestrel was recently
brought to them in a very weak state.
The bird was originally caught at one
of the chemical plants in Sarnia. The
man who found it, took the bird home
for a month and then brought it to the
park for release. When Crabe notic-
ed that it was still thin and weak; he
and Casey built a cage for the bird.
The American Kestrel is a com-
mon, pointed winged falcon that is
seen quite regularly sitting on the
hydro lines, along the roadside in this
area. Crabe said they stay here year
round, and feed mainly on small birds
and rodents. Thus, two of its more
common names 'Sparrow Hawk' and
tsRANT RECEIVED
A press release printed in last
week's issue from the ministry of
at Pinery
recovery
'Grasshopper Hawk'. (Its favorite
summer food). It is about the size of
a Blue Jay.
The Sarnian had been feeding the
kestrel a diet of hamburger. A diet of
meat, fur and bones is required to
properly digest its food. Terry and
Casey managed to find several recent
rabbit road kills; cut these rabbits up,
froze and fed it to the Kestrel each
day for about six Weeks.
The return of health was noted by
Casey- and Crabe, as the_ ag-
gressiveness of the hawk increased
quite quickly when he became
stronger. The blue -gray wings of the
male, make it quite easy to tell him
from the female. These birds never
become tame. It was successfully
released after being in captivity for
two and one half months.
