S to make appearance North America's ultimate .sun - worshippers are about to make their biannual southerm Ontario jet -set, stop -over en routtre to the land of the midnight sun. They're the Arctic Terns, and they could be the role model to Canada's human snowbirds — those seniors who take the road south at the first sign of winter's blasts. "These birds live in perpetual summer; they have never experi- enced winter," says Dave McLach- lin, a wetlands biologist with Ducks Unlimited Canda. 'To do that, they have to travel almost 25,000 kilometres a year from South America to the arctic and back again." While the Artic Terns have yet to make an appearnace this year, the spring migration is already well underway and could peak in a week or so, depending on the weather. "This spring's warm tempera- tures have allowed marshes and other waterways in south central Ontario to thaw almost a month earlier than normal," says McLachlin. "We've already seen as many as 10,000 swans and 13,000 Canvasback ducks mass at Long Point and about 900 Ring- necked Ducks at Matchedash Bay near Barrie, but the real peak of the bird migration, involving near- ly 200 species, will take place once reliable numbers of insects emerge from their winter hidea- way and Northern Ontario thaws."

Other water flow, including North- ern Shoverler, Pintail, Wood Duck, American Wigeon, Green - winged and Blue -winged Teal ducks are continuing to arrive dai- ly. "The spring and fall migrations really demonstrate the continental importance of the wetlands in On- tario," says McLachlin. "Two of North America's four major migra- tory `flyways' pass directly over our province and these wetlands provide vital resting and feeding spots for birds, which like the Ar - tic Tern may be flying hundreds of kilometres at a stretch." To preserve these significant wetland areas, Ducks Unlimited Canada has protected more than 450,000 acres of habitat in Onta- rio, including marshes, shorelines, and surrounding areas. This in- eludes some 3,5000 acres of inter- nationally significant wetland at Long Point on Lake Erie. '' By working closelu with local landowners and community groups to protect our wetlands, we are really helping to maintain and enhance one of this continent's most spectacular events: the annu- al birg migration," said McLach- lin.
