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."

•According to McLachlin, other
water fowl, including Canada
Geese, and ducks such as Mal-
lards, Buffelheads, Goldeneyes,
Ringnecks, Readheads, and
Scaups — both greater and lesser
— have already checked into wet-
lands throughout southern Ontario.
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.
