The purposes of this paper are (1) to continue from Dobos et al. (1988) and provide an update on the status of colonial waterbird breeding populations at Hamilton Harbour (1988-1994), (2) to describe how human changes to the landscape, together with natural succession and interspecific competition have affected nest distributions in the Harbour, (3) to report the results of conservation efforts for Common and Caspian Terns and of control efforts for Ring-billed Gulls, and (4) to provide a framework for making effective decisions regarding the future of colonial waterbirds nesting at Hamilton Harbour.

The unoccupied house, on the edge of town, is up for sale. Rumors around town are that the house is haunted. Real Estate agent Deloris Hunt cannot explain the quiet whispers in the upstairs bedroom, every time she shows the house to a prospective buyer... Or why unoccupied front porch rockers will suddenly begin to rock when there is not even a breeze. Blueberries and Catfish is a mystery filled with new twists, and turns, on every page... With a surprise ending, that no one will see coming.

It has been five years since Dr. Joseph Gatch has used his expertise as a renown Forensic Scientist to solve a case in the town of Coveralls, NM.

In the process of solving this case, Dr. Gatch has to deal with a mob from East St. Louis, MO, birds that fall from the sky

The thermal decomposition of unirradiated mercuric oxalate and the effects of pre-irradiation by X-rays, ?-rays, and sunlight were examined. Pre-irradiation accelerated the subsequent decomposition in all cases. Considerable radiolysis occurred when using ?-rays, but there was no detectable loss in weight when using sunlight or X-rays. The effects of ?-rays and light on the thermal decomposition were similar in that an initial burst of gas preceded the main acceleratory and decay periods. The initial reaction was studied in detail in each case and activation energies determined.
