Birds Leave Manchester But Others May Come
The Carroll Record, December 6, 1973.
The birds are gone from Manchester 's Christmas Tree Park, but nobody is sure for just how long, including the "expert," Nelson F. Swink Jr. of the Wildlife Services Division in Annapolis .
The town turned to Mr. Swink earlier this year for help in getting rid of the hundreds of starlings and blackbirds that had come to the park to roost for the second straight year. "I was just getting ready to come up there when the mayor called and said the birds had left of their own accord," Mr. Swink told The RECORD this week. "That's a big roost," he said, "and I think they will probably be back.
There is a winter roost and a summer roost. I think the birds that just left were the summer roost, migrating south." But he believes the winter roost is on the way. If they do arrive, he is prepared to come to Manchester as promised and bring a variety of noise makers with him which he hopes will make life so miserable for the birds that they will decide to leave.
