Mr. Weymouth has been active in the study of Ornithology since the age of 15, and has conducted birding tours off and on for the past 10 years, mostly on Sanibel Island where he has lived. Having worked on the j. N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, he is familiar with the island's many "Hot Spots," where large concentrations of birds may be found. He is blessed with sharp eyes, keen hearing and often is abte to point out 50 to 80 species of bi rds in the average 3-hour tour. Mr. Weymouth, George to his friends, is a talented wood carver, sculpturer, and artist, specializing in birds.

Sanibel's Family Condominium at Pre-Construction Prices by Griffing Bancroft People on bird tours, and even some veteran Florida duck hunters, often ask if male and female red-breasted mergansers have similar plumage. The answer is no. Like most ducks, notably excepting our local mottled duck, the male is much more handsome, with a striking green crested head and a brilliantly colored back. The trouble is that here in Florida we virtually never see one. The female red- breasted mergansers have now arrived in good numbers as they do every winter, and you certainly can't miss them. They are reddish with a long slim unduck-like bill, serrated for holding the fish they eat. ' Fulger St. and Gulf Dr. They are the most active of the ducks here, usually feeding in flocks and often pursuing their prey along the surface or with fast, shallow dives in the inland waters "CALL FOR CALL" RALPH CALL REALTOR EXCLUSIVE AGENT and in the Gulf. Usually other birds, particularly herons, egrets and ibis are seen with these Periwinkle Drive Sanibel Island, Florida 33957 mergansers, trying to catch some of the panic-stricken fish fleeing from the ducks. Phones: (813) 472-1622 Evenings (813) 542-8011 Another merganser, to be seen locally, is the hooded. It is much less common but in its case, as with most other ducks, the males as well as females winter here. Only the red-breased merganser has this peculiar migratory pattern, along the east coast. They nest mostly far north in Canada. When nesting is over in the fall both sexes migrate south to the coasts of New England. There the males remain. Observers around Cape Cod for example report seeing red-breasted mergansers all winter — almost all males. We here see them all winter, too, almost all females — for, while the drakes stop off in New England, the females continue on south. Only about one in a thousand around here is a mature male. In the spring the females will return northward. They Exotic rejoin the males in New England and there have their courtships and form pairs. Then both sexes go further north to the nesting grounds. About all you can say of this performance is that there is a great deal about bird migration we do not understand. and such a For information about bird tours call Macintosh Book Store, 472-1147.
