  • Bald Eagles Wintering in the Southern Gulf Islands, British Columbia
    BALD EAGLES WINTERING IN THE SOUTHERN GULF ISLANDS, BRITISH COLUMBIA DAVID HANCOCK HIS study represents the first attempt to census regularly the wintering T Bald Eagles Haliaeetus Zeucocephdus in the southern Gulf Islands, Brit- ish Columbia. Data were also collected on the feeding and hunting habits of the wintering eagles. In 1961 the National Audubon Society initiated its 5-year Continental Bald Eagle Study. This North American survey was prompted largely by the alarming decrease in numbers of the eastern Bald Eagle in recent years. The studies of Broley (1947)) Howell (1962)) and others have amply pointed out the plight of this great bird in the eastern United States. More recently Southern (1963) conducted a survey of the Bald Eagles winter- ing along the Mississippi River in northwestern Illinois. No similar studies have been conducted on the west coast prior to the Continental Bald Eagle project, or to my study. Murie (1940 and 1959) described the food habits of the eagles of the Aleutian Islands, and Dixon (1909) gives a brief history of the Alaskan birds. Brooks (1922) and Munro (1938) p resented a few of their observations on the feeding and hunting habits of Bald Eagles in British Columbia. Less important notes on individual sightings, nestings, and feeding incidents complete the literature on this species on the west coast. METHOD Fifteen aerial counts, involving 24 hours and 15 minutes of flying time, were conducted over the area (Fig. 1) from 26 September 1962 to IS April 1963. In addition, 130 hours were spent on ground observations. The study area (shown in Fig.

  • The Fort Victoria Treaties
    The Fort Victoria Treaties WILSON DUFF This essay had a simple purpose when it was begun : to publish a list of the Indian place names of the Victoria area which Songhees friends had told me about from time to time since 1952. It has grown, in the course of writing, into something more complicated than that. The rechecking of the names and their meanings gave opportunities to revisit old friends, and to learn more names and more of the Songhees history associated with them. It also led to the rediscovery of some of the earlier ethno­ graphic and historical records, and to a conviction that these now need to be better known. Of the ethnographic records the most commendable are the field notes and yet-unpublished thesis of Dr. Wayne Suttles ( 1951 ). Of the historical documents, those which above all seem worthy of renewed recognition are the eleven Fort Victoria treaties of 1850 and 1852, by which James Douglas of the Hudson's Bay Company extin­ guished the Indian title to the lands between Sooke and Saanich. An identical treaty which he made at Nanaimo in 1854 has recently been judged by the Supreme Court of Canada to be still in effect, and so by implication these untidy and almost-unknown little documents have been reconfirmed in their full status as treaties. A place name is a reminder of history, indelibly stamped on the land. To enquire about it is to reawaken memories of the history that produced it. To write about it is to retell some of that history.
