Creston Valley

- Observing the Great Blue Heron

By PATTI THOLL and
KIM HASKELL

Assistant Naturalists
Creston Valley Wildlife
* Interpretation Centre

We often hear visitors
exclaim “Look, a Great Blue
Herring!" but, unless they
are looking at a fish, it’s
doubtful it would be a her-
ring, let alone great and blue.
Instead, if what they see is a
tall, long-legged, long-necked
bird, then it’s probably the
Great Blue Heron.

The largest and most
widely distributed of all her-
ons, the Great Blue is found
along the southern coast of
B.C, and across to the
Maritimes. Being a colonial
bird, it will nest in large
numbers in woodland areas,
not easily accessible to hu-
mans and land predators.
Nests are placed in tree tops,
and are approximately 1 m.
in diameter, 10 centimetres

deep, and lined with twigs :

and moss,

Fish are a staple food of
the heron, along with frogs,
salamanders, mice, and large
insects, There are two basic
methods used by herons to
catch fish. The first is to
stand seemingly motionless
in the water, waiting for the
prey. In one quick move-

ment, the head plunges be-
neath the water, catches the
meal with the bill, the swal-
lows it whole, head first into
the gullet.

A second hunting me-
thod is wading in 16-25 em of
water until a fish or some
type of appealing food is
driven out of its hiding place,

Fighting coryneum blight

H

Coryneum Blight disease
is mainly a problem on
peaches and apricots, how-
ever, in a wet spring such as
we have experienced, it can
be very severe on cherries as
well.
: Damage has been so
Severe in many orchards that
the cherries were not har-
vested. Dead spots on the
leaves, some shot holes in the
leaves and brown to black
sunken spots on the fruit are
evidence that this disease is
present. There will likely also
be some cankers on twigs
that may produce gum after a
fain.

This is the same disease
that on peaches and apricots
causes canker on branches,
dead spots and shot holes of
leaves, and small purple-
brown spots with light cen-

ters on fruit.

* If this disease is present
on any cherries, peaches or
apricots the following contro!
should be followed:

1) Prune out infected
twigs in the d season.

The instructor will be Bill
Parsons, a top-notch profes-
sional budder and grafter the

likes of whom are few and far J

between. Parsons has many
years of experience and is a
of

2) To prevent twig and
bud infections apply fixed
copper fungicide (not copper
sulphate) as early as possible
after harvest on apricots and

peaches and around Sept. 1.

for cherries. If infection is
severe a second spray about
a month later may give more.
complete control.

3) To prevent fruit’ in-
fection, follow up the autumn
treatment with a spray of
Ferbam, Ziram or Phygon on
peaches only just as the
husks are falling. Ferbam
must not be applied later
than husk fall as it will
discolor fruit.

A budding course will be
held in Creston on Aug. 20.

Anyone seriously inter-
ested should make a point of
attending this one-day short
course. It is open to all, but
class size is -limited, so
register early. Attendance is
by pre-registration only. Con-
tact the Creston office for
further information and to

- Wildlife

There sre two heronrios
in the Creston Valley, In 1972
about 95 nests were counted,
but their numbers decreased
to 58 nests this spring.
Although there is no data to
support it, general obser-
vations show that the de-
crease in nesting coincides
with an increase in human
disturbance.

Tourists to the valley

sometimes head for the local :

heronries for sightseeing and
unknowingly scare the elu-
sive herons from their nests.
If this disregard for the
Great Blue Herons. does not
stop, the valley could lose
this. fascinating bird alto.
gether.

While neither the 1 man-
agemont arca or the Cana-
dian Wildlife Service object
to people going to see the
heronry, a few precautions
like quietness and slow ap-
proaches to the neats should
be considered and then per-
haps the herons will still be
here in years to come.

But for something even
more interesting, come to the
Cen-

: Program fo revitalize
apprenticeship training

A $14.4 million wage-
assistance program to over-
come severe skilled man-

power shortages in British”

Columbia by increasing the
enrollment of apprentices
will be initiated Sopt. 1, says
Tabor Minister Jack ‘Hein-
ricl

“Under the program, the”
Ministry of Labor will pro-

vide a wage incentive of up to
$2.50.an hour for 1,400 new
apprentices in seven indus-
trial trades most seriously
affected by skilled manpower
shortages,

“The new training pro-
gram addresses directly the
central ‘problem ‘facing us,"
said Heinrich — “namely, the
unwillingness of many em-
ployers,to undertake the ex-
pense of training apprentices
who may subsequently be
pirated by other employers
unwilling to train their own
people. By providing an in-
centive directly to the train-
ing employer, the Ministry of
Labor is effectively sharing
this cost with responsible

tre to see herons fish in the
marshes. In this way, you can
observe, but not disturb,

these magnificent birds. We,

would be happy to show you
these patient fish

ployers.

The Minister explained
that funding will be paid to
employers as direct wage as-
sistance, in exchange for
incremental increases in the
