When I first moved to Renfrew County back in the late 1970s, there were many Purple Martin colonies in the area, the largest being on Mountainview Road. However, since then, the Martin population has seriously declined, and I am not aware of any existing colonies now in our area. In fact, it is almost a bird watching highlight to spot a Martin in the County.
There are many factors for this decline, but the primary ones are the loss of summer habitat in South America and the fierce competition from House Sparrows and Starlings for nesting sites.

The Waldo Theatre invites you to virtually join a multimedia evening with Halycon & Friends. The show features violinists Sophie and Josie Davis and Colin Wheatley on viola in collaboration with cellist Nora Willauer and violinist and videographer Luke Fator. The winter celebration show is one of lovely chamber music with an accompanying film that shows the beauty, quiet, subtlety and darkness of winter, and the program includes Vivaldi’s spellbinding “Winter” from “The Four Seasons,” along with Richter’s “The Nature of Daylight” and pieces by Shubert, Debussy, Price and others. Ticket holders will be able to view the show for a week.

T he toast might be virtual, the hugs on hold, but the sentiment is universal: Letâs ring in the new year and drop kick 2020 into the rear view mirror.
Things definitely arenât typical this New Yearâs Eve. The First Night celebrations in the streets, the big dance parties, the packed concerts in music halls â most are paused as we head into 2021. And plans donât just change from day to day but hour to hour.
Still, there are bright spots â retooled shows, some splashes of color and online celebrations with fun, games and a sense of community.
