Champion Tug Of War Team Grandview Estates WILLOWDALE Viola Franks Saw-whet Owl Captured One hope of the Richmond Hill Naturalists’ field trip to the Toronto Islands was to see the saw-whet owls. These very small owls gather in large num- bers during fall migration and as many as 40 have been hand- ed in a single day. We were fortunate to have Mr. Jim Bail- lie of the Royal Ontario Mus- eum lead the party and sure enough after searching the wil- low scrwb for a few minutes, he saw one perched at eye level close to the main trunk of a tree. Mr. Baillie walked up slowly behind the bird and picked if off the limb. This met- hod of capturing saw-whet owls is frequently used by bird banders. The release of the bird is prompt so as to disturb it as little as possible. Our lunch stop was most pleasant. We were invited to sit inside the nature school buil- ding, overlooking the quiet la- goon where many waterfowl Powell Road Home and School held their regular monthly meeting November 5.

Only grade 6 pupils are invited to spend a week on the island, and only one third of Toronto’s grade 6 pupils can be accom- modated in a year. The children spend each day outside until 3 p.m. studying plants, animals and the elements. The latter part of the day they write stor- ies or draw pictures of their exâ€" periences, work on projects, sing, etc. The school is very highly successful and it is hoped that in the near future all Grade 6’s will have the op- portunity to enjoy such a school.
