  • Two Vanishing Game Birds—The Woodcock and the Wood Duck
    TWO VANISHING GAME BIRDS—THE WOODCOCK AND THE WOOD DUCK. By A. K. FrsnEE, OrniihoJogisl, Biological Survey. INTRODUCTION. Unless strong protective measures are soon adopted the woodcock and wood duck, two popular and valuable game birds, will become extinct—the woodcock absolutely, the wood duck over a large part of its range. It is the purpose of the present paper to call attention to the impending extinction of these birds, to point out the causes, and, so far as possible, to suggest means of prevention. These game birds differ materially in habits as well as in other par- ticulars, but the conditions affecting their decrease are very similar. As winter approaches they leave their summer homos, where they have been scattered over broad areas, and gradually work southward until finally they become more or less concentrated in their respective haunts in the Southern States. Within the confines of this winter home, where almost no protection is afforded them, they are slaughtered in large numbers; and as the Southern Suites place little restriction on their export, they are shipped North in quantities limited mainly by the demands of the market or the endurance of the gunners. Not only are the birds subjected to this exterminating treatment throughout the winter, but when the season of migration comes and they return to their summer homes they fare little better; for a majority of the States in which they are found permit them to be shot while nesting or at the time when the young are unable to prop- erly care for themselves. In view of these facts it is not surprising that the woodcock, with its limited distribution and moderate fecund- ity, is very rapidly passing away, and that the wood duck has disap- peared or become rare in many places where once it was common.

    Donald Duck From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Donald Duck First appearance The Wise Little Hen (1934) Created by Walt Disney Clarence Nash (1934–1985) Voiced by Tony Anselmo (1985–present) Don Nickname(s) Uncle Donald Duck Avenger (USA) Superduck (UK) Aliases Italian: Paperinik Captain Blue Species Pekin duck Family Duck family Significant other(s) Daisy Duck (girlfriend) Ludwig Von Drake (uncle) Scrooge McDuck (uncle) Relatives Huey, Dewey, and Louie (nephews) Donald Fauntleroy Duck[1] is a cartoon character created in 1934 at Walt Disney Productions and licensed by The Walt Disney Company. Donald is an anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He typically wears a sailor suit with a cap and a black or red bow tie. Donald is most famous for his semi-intelligible speech and his explosive temper. Along with his friend Mickey Mouse, Donald is one of the most popular Disney characters and was included in TV Guide's list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time in 2002.[2] He has appeared in more films than any other Disney character[3] and is the fifth most published comic book character in the world after Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and Wolverine.[4] Donald Duck rose to fame with his comedic roles in animated cartoons. He first appeared in The Wise Little Hen (1934), but it was his second appearance in Orphan's Benefit which introduced him as a temperamental comic foil to Mickey Mouse. Throughout the 1930s, '40s and '50s he appeared in over 150 theatrical films, several of which were recognized at the Academy Awards.

What we do not have much of are students who actually study Scottish topics to whom we can Scottish award the funding. We are happy to announce that this spring the Society, Inc. MSSI is hoping to award a $1500 travel scholarship to a graduate or post-graduate student at the University of Guelph located in Ontario, Board Canada. You might object for a moment given that this move seems to send President our money to outsiders, but we must tell you that 30-40% of all the John Schultz graduate students are Americans and there is a high likelihood that 901 754-2419 a recipient may be an American student who is studying Scottish [email protected] history, literature, arts or music on a graduate level. Part of our return will be through either submitted articles to Grace Notes, our monthly Vice President newsletter or a presentation at a monthly meeting via Skype. The Melissa Gibson biggest return for us is that we will have contributed toward furthering 901 299-3170 [email protected] important, current research and publications about Scotland and its history or arts. Treasurer Sue Malone The University of Guelph is the only university in North America 901 385-1938 that offers graduate degrees in Scottish studies.
