Name the New Birds This past week has seen a rush of new spring migrant birds. Early last Wednesday morning, Mrs. Clark Coiling who lives in the village of Lurgan at the Fourth Con- cession in Huron Township, called to report new birds at her feeder. They were black with a white cap on the back. of their head. Even with the use of "Birds of Canada" Ab Wylds still does not know the name of these birds. On Thursday evening, Joe Klunder who lives at the in- tersection of the 15th and Highway 9 north of Riley has sighted on two occasions in the past couple of weeks a scarlet tanager. Coming from the Hamilton area Joe wanted to know if they were rare in this area. The bright red bird was also seen by the Klunder boys - Mark, Jamie, Robbie and Chris. We learn- ed that it is just the adult male which is the bright red colour and then only in the early summer. The winner of the Ripley Brownies and the Girl Guides' draw for an afghan was Robin Arvnburg of Point Clark. The draw was made onMay7. .

D Day For Dandelions On Monday afternoon last week Morrison MacKenzie of Inverhuron took his first drive of this summer over to Ripley. While here he called on Ab and Fran Wylds. Look- ing out this Sunday morning the sight of all those yellow flowers in the grass at Gore Park reminds us that Mor- rison always said that May 19 was D Day for dandelions. Most years there is also a spell of inclement weather. Today is cool and showery outside. Spring Flower Show Yesterday afternoon, May 24, the Ripley and District Horticultural Society held their annual spring flower show including along with the exhibits an afternoon tea and plant sale.
