I recently replaced my fuel supply system and have a WALBRO pump mounted downstream of 75/900 racors. I set the system up with three-way valves so that I can manifold either around the pump or through it to the engine and also rigged it with a bypass loop out of the pump and into the return line for fuel polishing. I installed a short section of clear hose in the bypass return line just after the pump and when I am polishing there is a very fine but persistent stream of air bubbles in the fuel. I have methodically tested every section of the supply system to and through the pump with a vacuum pump and I am able to pump down the system to 10 or more inches of mercury which holds indefinitely, (both on the filter-mounted guages and on the vacuum pump itself) telling me that there are no air leaks anywhere--nevertheless there are fine bubbles with the pump running. Is it possible that the pumping action of the WALBRO is inducing these bubbles into the bypass return loop and that my supply system is airtight? The engine runs fine but I am concerned.

Two male Baltimore Orioles spotted on Linden Tree Rd near Kent Pond in Wilton. A first for me! Jane Nicklin Olsen Fifth Grade Teacher St. Luke's School 377 N. Wilton Rd.

We had a wonderful outing to the New Canaan Nature Center, where we saw many Baltimore Orioles and "the usual suspects," like Red=winged Blackbirds, Common Grackles, Song Sparrows, and Tufted Titmice. More interestingly (at least for us) there were MANY Northern Flickers - saw at least 5 at one time in a tree near the butterfly garden. Also saw a Pileated Woodpecker fly in to a tall, dead tree and we could hear him calling much of the afternoon. In the marsh there were 2 male Common Yellowthroats, an Eastern Kingbird, a White-throated Sparrow, a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher, and a Black-and-White Warbler. Towards dusk we moved to Grupes Reservoir and John D. Milne Lake, where we saw a Double-Crested Cormorant, a pair of Ring-Necked Ducks (they have been there consistently for a couple of weeks), Barn and Tree Swallows in numbers, and a Wood Duck drake. At Kents Pond in Wilton we saw an Osprey overhead, and an American Redststart and a Warbling Vireo by the feeder stream on Linden Tree Rd. Our last stop was the pond on St. Luke's School campus in New Canaan, where we spotted a Solitary Sandpiper, enjoying the larvae in the shallow muddy water on the edge of the pond.

A male and female rose-breasted grosbeak have been at our feeder in Ridgefield for more than a week now. I am thinking there must be a nest in the nearby woods.

Over the last two days, I have seen a number of warblers in Glen Stewart Ravine in Toronto. Included are Black Throated Blue, Black and White, Magnolia, Chestnut Sided, Black Throated Green and and Male Redstart. A particular treat was seeing a Scarlet Tanager, my reward for venturing out in the pouring rain. No sign of the Red Headed Woodpeckers that have been seen in past years. Glen Stewart Ravine is located east of the Intersection of Main Street and Kingston Road, in the east end of Toronto, at Glen Manor Drive. It runs from Kingston Road south to Glen Manor Drive, and can be accessed from Kingston Road, Beech Avenue, Balsam Avenue or Glen Manor Drive. Laura Murray laura.murray@osc.on.ca "Laura Murray"
