PROGRAM ON WATERFOWL — Arnie Karr, left, introduced John Sullivan, right, conservation officer who gave an interesting program on waterfowl at the Lakeland Kiwanis Club meeting held recently. On a national level, the waterfowl population is in serious trouble due to: 1) poaching; 2) the drought; and 3) loss of habitat. Sullivan showed photos of huge duck kills and methods of doing same. Major population damage has been done by the large Duck Hunting Clubs (for the wealthy ‘sporting’’ man at the turn of the century) and later Market Hunting innovations. The club members saw a muzzle loaded, 200 pound, 12’ punt gun that uses one pound of shot and is managed by balancing on a sneak boat, and battery guns that are triple layered with a 10’ wide pattern, etc. In 1918, the Migratory Bird Treaty was introduced and in 1934 the Duck Stamp Act has contributed to the purchase of 3.7 million acres of wet lands and other conservation progress. The conservation department is presently working on a 15-year program to increase habitat and population.

She started coming up on our back porch a couple of months ago to get out of the weather. We fed her because she was obviously quite hungry.
