According to Ducks Unlimited, the world’s largest duck conservation organiza tion, Waterfowl enthusiasts all over North America are awaiting the largest fall flight of ducks in 50 years, but biologists are warning that this year’s unusually warm and dry weather in many areas could mean that many birds might alter their tradi tional migration behavior. “Many ducks and geese won’t move south until cold weather freezes their water sources." said Bruce Batt, Chief Biologist for Ducks Unlimited, inis year’s per sistent, warm weather well into fall means that many birds are still much farther north than they would usu ally be this time of year. That was the prediction this fall, but of course the ducks always show up late in Georgia and if we get any migrating ducks it is usually at the tail end of the season. A bumper crop of ducks is expected for the 1999-2000 hunting season according to Ducks Unlimited. Reflecting improved habitat conditions throughout much of their breeding range, the popula tion of breeding ducks rose by 12 percent to 43.8 million, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 1999 annual survey of key nesting areas for breeding ducks. The increase reverses an 8 percent decline in 1998, and represents a 34-percent increase over the long-term average breeding population since 1955. Prior to me 1998 decline, duck populations enjoyed three straight years of increases. Breeding populations of mallards rose 15 percent to 11.1 million, 51 percent greater than their long-term average. Blue-wingea teal numbers, at 7.2 million, were similar to 1998, but 66 percent greater than the long term average. Other species also saw Improvement, with northern pintails up to 21 percent, northern snovelers up 22 percent and green winged teal up 61 percent. Scaup populations rose 27 percent, an encouraging sign for a population that has declined steadily in recent years. Despite the improvement, scaup popula tions remain 18 percent below their historic average. Pintail populations also remain 30 percent below their long-term average. An early warm spring and good precipitation created abundant ponds and excel lent nesting cover in much of the survey area. Most of the Dakotas, northern Saskatchewan, the North west Territories and Western Ontario saw improved habi tat conditions over 1998. The estimated number of May ponds in prairie Canada and portions of the north central U.S., critical] to the reproduc tive success of waterfowl, rose 46 percent over 1998 levels, to a level 37 percent above the long-term average. “It’s heartening to see duck populations at these impressive levels. While improved habitat and weath er had much to do with the improvement, wetland restoration efforts deserve a good share of the credit," said acting Service Director Citizen Christian downs Hornets in tourney opener By Phil Clark IMma Tsssr tian Patriots dazzled the crowd with slick ball handling and aggressive defense in downing the Westfield Hornets 72-58 in the opening game of the Sher wood Christian Christmas tour nament Dec. 17. Four Patriots scored in double figures as they scored 21 points in both the first Ridley Ridley, who wrestles in the 215 weight class, went 4-0 in the tournament, pinning his Henry County competitor in the final round in less than 45 sec onds to earn the first place fin ish. Other top Perry wrestlers during the tournament Included Maurice Hamilton (152) who fin ished in 6th and Ernest Howard (119) who placed fifth. The team will travel this week to Peachtree City to the Mclntosh Invitational, the largest high ar “toOfndmem-.in * the state. There, 37 schools in f i kkmmmii jJi John Rogers. “For the fourth time in five years, we enjoy record duck populations, but the need for continued habitat conserva tion has not diminished," he added. According to preliminary estimates of waterfowl har vest and hunter activity gathered during the 1998-99 season through the Harvest Information Program, hunters harvested over 16.5 million ducks, a 4 percent increase over the previous season. Persons buying duck stamps for hunting averaged nearly 9 days afield and harvested an average of more than 10 ducks, an increase of 7 percent over the previous season's level. "Improved duck numbers don’t always translate Into greater hunting success, as any hunter knows. But the best way to ensure contin ued hunting opportunities is to conserve populations by doing everything we can to protect, restore and even rebuild waterfowl habitat," says Ducks Unlimited. In other Ducks unlimited news, recently the House Committee on Resources voted to send the Conserva tion and Reinvestment Act to the House floor. This suc cessful vote was an essentia) first step in the process of passing this important con servation legislation. Successful passage by the Committee was the product of several months of negotia tions among key members of Congress, state fish and game agencies and conser vation groups like DU. The new bill will reinvest a por tion of outer continental shelf oil and gas revenues, which now go to the general treaSttr.,- '■* into natural resource conservation: Of particular interest is the $350 million annually that would be available to states for wildlife conserva tion. In this way. CARA will provide substantial amounts of funding to carry out essential habitat conserva tion for an array of wild tie species in a way that ! ias never been feasible before. Many people and organiza tions have been involved in ’ moving CARA successfully to its present status. DU members, volunteers, and supporters, in particu lar, are to be commended for editorials, letters, emails, etc. urging Congress to pass this monumental conserva tion legislation. But our work is not complete. CARA will go before the House of | Representatives for full House vote next year. That’s when DU support ers(and everyone else inter ested in wildlife conserva tion) will need to rise up once again and let Congress know that CARA is an oppor tunity too Important to let go.

Good hunting! and third quarters in dropping the Hornets into the consolation game while earning themselves a shot at the tournament cham pionship. Will Holt and Ernest Greene combined for 18 points for West field in the first half as the Hor nets overcame a 21-13 first quarter deficit to cut Citizens' lead to Just three points at half time.

Wrestlers Peter Noel (171) and Kyle Padgett (135) have been wrestling "really strong" this year according to head coach Dwayne Dlmsdale. Noel has all-5 record, while Padgett has evened up his standing at 7- 6. “Peter's and Kyle's losses have come at high levels during tournaments," explained Dims dale. "The matches they have lost have been to extremely good wrestlers."
