The nest of four was left empty for only a minute before the mother Woodcock returned to protect her brood. Woodcocks are known for determined nature to look after their eggs. She would not budge when the photographer came near and they have been known to remain sitting even when the entire nest is picked up. (Steve Cook photo) Hunting dates delayed The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters has opposed a Ministry of Natural Resources' decision to delay the opening of the small game hunting season by one week. In fact, the Federation is asking the ministry to reconsider its decision and open the season as in the past on the second last Saturday of. Sep- tember, which this year would be September 22. Natural Resources Minister James Auld announced April 6 that in many southern parts of the province, the hunting season for small game such as birds, rabbits and squirrels will open in 1979 on the last Saturday in September. Mr. Auld's reason for the change is to coincide with -the opening date for waterfowl hunting. Harvey Goldsmith, Federation president, in a letter to Mr. Auld said, 1 oelteve ilus late opening is unwarranted and unfair to Ontario's hunters; in fact, it ap- pears that our sportsmen will now pay more to hunt less. I see no biological reason for such a season reduction." Mr, Goldsmith also wrote to Len Marchand, Federal Minister of Environment and said with the lost week it means the abandonment of many native ducks to hunters from United States "without Canadian 'hunters ever having a chance to participate in the hunt for them."
