Evening Grosbeaks Died to Supply Bands for This Vol.1963xxxIv G.H.& H. C.Pxmrs, Evening Grosbeaks [73 EVENING GROSBEAKS DIED TO SUPPLY BANDS FOR THIS "JEWELRY" By G. HxrGooD PxRxs A•D Hxzv. L C. PxR•s The story which i• about to unfold •vould probably never have been written had not Dr. Paul H. Fluck banded a certain Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) at Hatboro, Pa. When Dr. Fluck attached band No. 532-23158 to this Starling's leg on November 30,. 1955 he in- itiated a series of events which was to cause the deaths of hundreds of Evening Grosbeaks(Hesperiphona vespertina), the exact total of which can never be known. The Starling in questionfound its way to Lae Humqui in Mata- pedia county of Canada's QuebecProvince. One of the farms sit- uated on the shore of the lake is owned by Monsieur Thomas Brousseauand it was his eat that caught the bird on April 4, 1958. M. Brousseauis one of the very few bilingual residents of that typically French-Canadian parish and he is a man of many interests and capabilities. Respondingto the instructions conveyedby its legend he sent the band with appropriate information to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The subsequentarrival of the explanatory flimsie sufficed to inoculate him with an awareness of the bird-band- ing process. In addition to his functionsas farmer, mayor of his parish, justice of the peace,and gamewarden, M. Brousseau,since 1929, has served from June to Novembe: of eachyear as salmonguardian on the West Branch of the Patapedia River. His camp is situated more than thirty nfiles into the bush from his farm. Just when in that span of time the Evening Grosbeaksbegan nesting in the vicinity of his isolated camp is impossible to ascertain, but he reports that he noticed the bands on their legsonly after the incident of the banded Starling. His interest whetted by the experienceof having reported the Starling band, M. Brousseauwas particularly receptive to the mis- information supplied to him by thoughtless,or equally misinformed, persons. These misinformantswere some of the "sports" who had sought him out in his capacity as fishing and hunting guide. They told him, in effect, that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Servicetreasured the information carried by the bands and would considerit a valued act of cooperationon his part if this information were to be obtained and sent to that authority. Some "sports" went so far as to demon- strate the procurementof the information by a'etuallyshooting the banded bird. With no reason to doubt these men (and women) M. Brousseau proceededto "procure information" from the copiousEvening Gros- beak flocks and faithfully to report every band to the U.S. F. & W. Service. Other guides and fire-rangers (notably M. Paul Boulanger on the Kedgwiek River) learned of the "cooperation" and joined innocently in its performance,with M. Brousseaumaking periodic reports to F. & W. as the supply of recoveredbands accumulated. It may be difficult for some of our readers to comprehend the 74] G.H.& H. C.PAR•S, Evenin# Grosbeaks Bird-BandingApril sincerity of these men, but if they could live with them day and night for even as brief a spaceas the fortnight we sharedM. Brouss- cau's camp with him, they could not but arrive, as have we, at the conclusion that their intent was definitely that of complete co- operation. B. M. Shaub's (1960) paper has already exonerated these men from any intended misdemeanoror any comprehensionof the fact that their conduct was other than helpful and commendable. Our own intent in this story is to repeat as little as possible of Mr. Shaub's material, but, rather, to contribute details which we in- herited upon the occasionof our visit to the locale of these activities during June of 1962. We have already describedthis visit (Parks, 1963) and suggestedthat the present report would appear as a sequel thereto. We were inspired to write this report when M. Brousscau re- vealed to us an accumulation of the bands which had been removed from dead birds and reported to U.S. F. & W. The bandswere most intriguingly arranged in three groups. 115 of them were strung upon a watch chain. Another 95 were strung upon a three-strand metal chain bracelet. An additional 62 bands, forming another bracelet, were strung upon a length of fishline. Of these 272 bands we were informed that 270 had been worn by Evening Grosbeaks,the other two, by Purple Finches. These stringsof bands,this watch chain and these two bracelets,we shall refer to as our "jewelry". M. Brousscausupplied us, also, with a thick bundle of filmsicsand IBM's, confirmatory proof of the fact that the bands had been properly reported. Being possessedof these recordswe are able to name the banders whose bands, innocently enough, became the causeof death for the birds that wore them. We are able, also, to name places and dates which will permit interested readers to trace instancesof flock cohesion,flight patterns, et cetera. We realize full well that, although we shall exhaust all available material in its telling, our story must remain forever incompletelytold. Some of the bands collected by other men are known to have been destroyed when authorities arraigned M. Brousscau, lest those bands involve their collectors also. Nor have we any records of the bands which "sports" "have taken ..... along with them" (Shaub, 1960). Foreword:-- Since we acquired these bands in the forms of a watch chain, a chain bracelet, and a fishline bracelet, we shall retain this same arrangement as we develop our report. Our story shall be told in three tables: (a) Table 1, a list of the bandorsand of the stationswhere our bandswere used; (b) Table 2, a list of the placesat which, and the methodsby which, the bands were recovered; (c) Table 3, a codified history of the birds that died becausethey wore these bands. Table 3 shall be subdividedinto three parts, one part being reservedfor the bands which compose each of our three pieces of "jewelry". Each of the three tables shall be precededby a brief introductory explanation. Vol.1963XXXIV G.H.& H. C.PARKS, Evening Grosbeaks [75 THE BIRD-BAND "JEWELRY". A. The Watch Chain. B. The Metal Chain Bracelet. C. The Fishline "Bracelet". Table 1:- Table I lists the banders of the birds that carried, at the time of their deaths,the bands which constituteour "jewelry". The spell- ing of all names and addresseshas been adopted from the fiimsies and IBM's at hand without modificationwith the exceptionof a few instancesin which individual banders have advised us of existing errors or of personal preferences. These exceptionswe have at- tempted to revise accordingly. Preceding each name in this table is a capital letter or a digit- and-a-capital-letter. This code is employed in Table 3 where its use is self-explanatory.Follo•ving each address,in parentheses,is a numeral which indicates the number of bands in our collection which came from birds originally banded at that station.

  • 8.13 Current Use of Lands and Resources for Traditional Purposes
    SISSON PROJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) REPORT 8.13 CURRENT USE OF LAND AND RESOURCES FOR TRADITIONAL PURPOSES BY ABORIGINAL PERSONS The Current Use of Land and Resources for Traditional Purposes by Aboriginal Persons has been selected as a valued environmental component (VEC) in recognition of the current use the land and resources for traditional purposes by Aboriginal persons, and to assess the potential environmental effects of the Project as required by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) and the Final Guidelines (NBENV 2009). The lands of central New Brunswick have been, and are being, used by Aboriginal persons for traditional hunting, fishing, trapping, gathering, subsistence and related purposes. An Indigenous Knowledge Study (IKS) was prepared by Moccasin Flower Consulting Inc., on behalf of the St. Mary’s First Nation, Woodstock First Nation, and Madawaska Maliseet First Nation (Moccasin Flower Consulting 2013). This Northcliff-sponsored study reports that land and resources near the Project area have been, and are being, used for traditional purposes by Maliseet First Nations. The Project will result in the loss of access to, or use of, land and resources in the Project Development Area (PDA) and Local Assessment Area (LAA) (both terms are defined in Section 8.13.1.4 below) due to the physical presence of the Project facilities and associated exclusion zones. These potential interactions of the Project with the Current Use of Land and Resources for Traditional Purposes by Aboriginal Persons are of concern to Aboriginal communities in New Brunswick because they could result in a loss of access to, or use of, areas currently used for traditional purposes by Aboriginal persons.
