We were fortunate to have good weather. Thanks to Graham Brown, Cy Poisson, Bob Tanner, Ray Look–Kan and Caroline Williamson for all their hard work and dedication. The Kingsville transfer Station had a complete renovation. Caney Creek, Doyle’s, O’Neil’s all received new birdhouses. Some of us spent a morning at Orchard View Golf Course, helping Mary Wilson with renovations to that large trail. Wintering Bluebirds The 2009-10 winter was mild. There were many reports of wintering Bluebirds. Alex and Shirley Michinski enjoyed a wintering flock of Bluebirds at their farm. On bad weather days, the flock of 8 birds stayed in the wooded area at the back of the farm. There they fed on Wild Grape, Sumac, Rose Hips and Juniper Berries. On fair weather days, the birds came up to the Michinski’s home to feed on Holly Berries. After a snow fall Alex swept the snow off the Holly bushes, so his guests could have a meal. Sometime in February a new Bluebird joined the flock bringing the total to 9 birds. On sunny pleasant days in February the bluebirds inspected the 27 Birdhouses on the Michinski Farm. I also had wintering Bluebirds last year. They enjoyed the heated bird bath and dried currants, raisins and cranberries. In November 2009 there was a flock of 12 bluebirds visiting my place. They’d arrive most mornings eat, drink and move on. They would often return once or twice during the day. I might not see them for a day or two if the weather was bad. Through the winter ,this flock broke up into smaller groups. Like the Michinski flock on nice days in February they would visit the houses in my hayfield and in my neighbour’s (Ford’s) yard. Firsts Feb 20th- Male Bluebird Singing. Don Bissonnette-One bachelor male sang, several times in the late morning while sitting on a birdhouse at Tuckette Farms, near Harrow. He found a mate on March 10th. March 16th Start of a Bluebird Nest - Don Bissonnette - The above mentioned pair set a new record for us. In the morning the female was seen carrying straw into the birdhouse. By evening there was ¼ “ of straw in the house. March 24th - Tree Swallow - Doyle’s - near Harrow-(Bob Tanner) March 27th- Tree Swallow– Backyard - East of Kingsville –(Graham Brown) March 29th - Tree Swallow - Woodland Hills Golf Course – (Gil Breton) March 29th - Wood Duck - - On his farm near Essex- (Cy Poisson) April 1st - Hummingbird - Observed at the Poisson’s . Cy and Monica assure us that this is no April Fool’s Joke. Cy immediately put up a hummingbird feeder. The visitor stayed a few days then disappeared. April 6th Bluebird Egg - - Discovered at the Harrow research station (Don Bissonnette) April 28th Bluebird Hatchling - Godard’s near Harrow-( Bob Tanner) May 3rd – Tree Swallow Egg – Kingsville Transfer Station( Graham Brown) May 12th - Bluebird Fledglings - -Godard’s near Harrow (Bob Tanner) Page 3 The Egret March 2011 The Bluebird Brunch Our Annual Brunch was held at Rose’s Kitchen in Essex on Saturday Oct. 16th. 14 people attended and had a good time. It was great to hear about everyone’s discoveries and experiences. Thanks to Caroline Kopchuk, Bob Tanner, Mary Wilson & Lori Doyle for donating the prizes. Clarie & Marg Calder won the prestigious “Top Producer “award with 39 bluebirds fledged. Bob Tanner was a close second with 37 Bluebirds fledged. News from the Trails Mother-Wood Trail – The Calders had a great year at the Mother-Wood trail . There were 4 pairs of Bluebirds which produced 31 eggs. There were no dud eggs ; all of these eggs hatched. On top of that all 31 nestlings grew and fledged successfully. Marg calls it “a perfect year.” This is amazing because most large trails have a few dud eggs, dead nestlings, and nest failures each year. Altenhof Trail – The Best year yet! The 7 Birdhouses hosted 3 successful pairs of Bluebirds. These birds produced 21 fledglings, in 5 broods. The pair of Bluebirds in birdhouse #1 had a successful spring brood, with 3 fledglings. Unfortunately, soon after the young fledged a pair House Wrens laid claim to the house. Also the 6 other houses were all occupied with Bluebirds, House Wrens and late nesting Tree Swallows. Often a pair of bluebirds in this situation will relocate. However, this pair stayed. They were often seen in a large Poplar. This tree had an abandoned woodpecker hole. Their spring fledglings were also seen in this tree. Hopefully, this pair had a successful nest in the natural cavity. This cavity was 30’ up so I was not able to monitor it. There are a lot of natural cavities at the Altenhof property. Most of these are old woodpecker nests. Beside the pair of bluebirds there were 2 pairs of Tree Swallows nesting in abandoned woodpecker nests. Every year there are a few cases of secondary cavity nesters using the woodpecker nests, at the Altenhofs . In 2009, there were a pair of House Wrens and a pair of Tree Swallows. An interesting find this year at Altenhof’s was a pair of nesting Eastern Phoebes. This was a first for me. Some of the windows on the Altenhof’s home are framed with artificial shutters. And this was enough to support a nest. The nest resembles a Barn Swallow nest except it’s made of alternating layers of green moss and mud. This nest was successful. The adults were seen carrying food to the nest. While begging for food the nestlings could be heard calling “Shrill!, Shrill!” Page 4 The Egret March 2011 Later in the summer, there was a strange small bird sitting on the Altenhof’s roof.

    WINDSOR Twin Skylines Snap Shot of Windsor Once known as Ford City – proud history in auto manufacturing Canada’s southernmost city, bordering the USA and directly opposite Detroit Major international gateway and busiest border crossing in Canada Home to University of Windsor and St. Clair College “We have a spectacular Intelligent Community of the waterfront with uninterrupted Year award in 2010 access – it is one of our jewels” Downtown Windsor is beginning to capitalize on its strengths, its exemplary institutional sector, its entertainment functions and its natural assets, to emerge as a more vital core. In recent years, the City has played a critical role in strengthening the downtown and succeeded in building strong partnerships with key stakeholders to propel these revitalization efforts forward. Despite these important gains, downtown Windsor has some way to go to reach its potential. It faces significant challenges in terms of addressing visible vacancies along its main shopping streets, attracting new businesses, growing its job base, filling its office inventory and attracting more residents. Stakeholders in downtown Windsor will need to continue to work together to address these challenges and ensure that downtown Windsor can keep moving forward along the road to revitalization. 1 Downtown Windsor Timeline 1701 – Sieur de Lamonthe establishes Fort Pontchartrain, the area’s first European settlement. 1749 – Windsor is settled by the French as “Petite Cote,” originally a small Jesuit mission. It is the oldest continually inhabited settlement in Canada west of Montreal. 1792 – The Duff Baby House is built by Alexander Duff as 1794 – The settlement of Sandwich is founded following a fur trade post.

  • Cultural Resources Workbook City of Windsor Cultural Mapping Project
    Cultural Resources Workbook City of Windsor Cultural Mapping Project September 23, 2013 Instructions The City of Windsor has received funding through the Creative Communities Prosperity Fund provided by the province of Ontario to create a cultural assets inventory as part of a Cultural Mapping Project. Cultural mapping is a process to identify and document the cultural resources or assets of a community. Across the country, more and more communities are turning to cultural mapping as an important new tool to support economic development and to enrich the quality of life in our communities. In this vein, prospective businesses and new-comers can also use this tool to more fully understand the many cultural assets that Windsor has to offer. The Cultural Mapping process includes a thorough understanding of Windsor's cultural resources. Cultural Mapping is the practice of categorizing and recording a community's cultural resources through a defined Cultural Resource Framework. A Cultural Mapping Workbook has been developed that sets out initial findings related to cultural resources in the community based on existing databases, online searches, and input from the Recreation and Culture office. The workbook is the first step in identifying the City's cultural resources. The second step involves the community and their local knowledge to identify additional resources that have yet to be recorded. An online feedback system has been developed and posted on the Windsor cultural mapping page (alongside a Downloadable PDF version of this workbook) in order to capture new assets as defined by you. Using this workbook we ask that you identify any additional assets within the six categories found in the Cultural Resource Framework within the appropriate sections on the online feedback system.

  • A History of Windsor's Parks
    Aboriginal Park Commonly known as: Aboriginal Park Former/other names: Indian Memorial Park Location: Northwood near E.C. Row Expressway Property Acquired: 1972 Acreage: 2.9 Official designation: Community park During the construction of the E.C. Row Expressway, Indian artefacts were discovered and moved to this site. A portion of the park is a memorial for indigenous peoples and is left in a natural state. The other portion of the park has been developed with a basketball key and playground equipment in co-operation with the developer for the surrounding residences. Adstoll Park and Arena Commonly known as: Adstoll Park, Adstoll Arena Former/other names: none Location: at Grand Marais and Pillette Roads Property acquired: 1965 Acreage: 4.35 Official designation: Community park Although Adstoll Park was officially established in 1965, it was not until 1967, when Mayor John Wheelton performed the ground-breaking ceremonies for a new outdoor arena, that the park site began physically demonstrating its vast recreational potential. The outdoor arena, built at a cost of nearly $90,000, was specially designed to allow for the installation of a roof at some point in the future. That future arrived sooner than many area residents expected; in 1973, the City financed the complete enclosure of the rink, spending $435,000 on the project. Just three years later, two tennis courts were installed at the park. Today, tennis courts and an assortment of playground equipment, including a creative play unit are located at the park, but it is during the winter when children and adults of all ages hit the ice surface, that Adstoll Arena really comes alive.
