We have heard it said a.million times but when a golfer recites this expression, you can be quite sure that he doesn t give a hoot about where good of robin redbreast is. Nope! The birdies of major concern to golfers are purely numer- ical. (A birdie is one under par on a hole). These birdies are almost as elusive as the rare Mute Swan, especially since golfers tend to be very vocal in their quest for bitdies. The die hard golfer will pursue birdies with all the enthusiasm of the most loyal of Audobon's followers. When You think of it even the golfers' attire is in many ways similar to the duds worn by members of a bird -watching society. Remember Miss Hathaway on the Beverly Hillbillies? Clad in Bermuda style shorts, knee socks, and a sun hat, she would clamber through fields, clutching binoculars in search of various species of birds. Now, see the golfer clad similarly although usually in brighter colors, trudging through what appears -to outsiders as a field, carrying every piece of equipment that could possibly put a birdie within his grasp. The "great birdie hunt" has begun again in earnest, lasting in these parts for several months from April until October. Although the numerical birdies prove to be a rare species on the golf course, many of the players have begun to take on the resem-' blance of their prey. While out on the course many of us have come upon two -legged birdies of varying plumage. I'm sure you'll recognize these more common species during your golf game by following my "golfer's birdie watching guide". The Designer Labelled Peacock - easily recognized by his color coordinated, brightly accessorized golfwear. More commonly seen around the clubhouse than out on the course. Plumage varies, but there is usually one of notably bright colors. Common Crow - As the name suggests this golfing birdie is often heard long before he is seen. It is especially notable after a particularly good game. Not -So -Wild Turkey - There Is at least one of this species at every club. Though he's difficult to identify by plumage, once you're close enough you will recognize him readily. This bird is always in the wrong place (no matter where) at the wrong time (no matter when). Unfortunately not migratory. Red faced Thrasher - Easily identified by his flushed features and erratic actions of dub flailing. Usually spotted in deep rough FROM FREiSH 8 FROZEN PORTIONS FRESHLY MINCED' GROUND BEEF Regular 11109 Mediuni 1 Lean 1 1 .5 LITRE REG. 3.79 RED PENCIL FEATURE MONARCH '5 FLAVOURS' SPONGE PUDDINGS 250 GM. ire RED PENCIL FEATURE GENERAL MILLS PAC MAN CEREAL 375 GM.

Empty Pocketed Pigeon - common bird on any golf course. This bird can be of varying plumage. He'is far more confident with his game than he should be and he is often seen in the clubhouse, buying the "pops". Pigeon Hawk - Seen mostly in the same vicinity of the empty pocketed pigeon. The pigeon hawk has an unusually high handicap which is in noway indicative of his skill. Often seen consuming the "pops", courtesy of his prey. Green -faced Grossbeak - this name can be translated to mean envious nosy parker. Hangs around scoreboard and handicap rack checking out the scores and handicaps of other local birds. Curiosity about scores is main characteristic. Graduated Duck - Common name Quack. Most often seen on Wednesday afternoons at wealthyiclubs, golfing for "medicinal pur- poses". Tends to associate more with its own species. Fairway Roadrunner - Fastest golfer on the course, has been known to lap the rest of the field. Usually plays alone because other birds cannot keep up. Never fun to be in front of but then you're never' in front of him for long. Mockingbird - Difficult to identify by his swing because the mocking bird neder swings the same way twice. Always looking for the answer to the perfect swing, the moc ingbird will imitate'anyone who has ever score lower than he. Solitary Sandpiper - Always found i sand traps no matter where it is located. H been knownto turn into the Purple San iper in front of fellow goffers' very eye . Distant relative of the Shoveler. Wandering Tattler - Re nized by his distinct warble, this bird revs s in telling of his fellow golfers' errors, errant shots, and statistics. Never fun to golf with but popular In the club house. Arctic Loon (y) - Common in northerly climates golfing early in the spring. Close relative of the -Common Loon(y) seen in large flocks on golf courses in better weather. Greater Fairway Chicken • No fun to golf with, this golfer will never take a chance. Always down the middle, he lays up on the water holes and plays for the centre of the green no matter where the pin Is. Steady Eddy is common name. Very even tempered. There are many more "birdies" on the golf courses all over the world. The birdies on the score card are held in greater reverance but the two -legged type are far easier to find.
