With the reed bird season two weeks
away, District huntsmen are scanning
the marshes of the Anacostia river to
determine what the prospect is for marsh
shooting this year. The closed season
on reed birds ends in the District Aug
ust 81. The regulations promulgated
by the Department of Agriculture for
the protection of game birds made no
change in the reed bird season and
they may be hunted from September l
to October 81, inclusive.
The first reed birds of the many that
will reach the marshes OF the Anacos-
tia within the next two weeks have
been observed, but they are few in
numbers. Men who have hunted them
on the river for a long time say the
year. So far hardly any have been
seen.
Gunners who have examined the
marshes in the Anacostia river be-
tween Anacostia and Benning say the
crop of wild oats, on which the reed
largest for a number of years. The
marshes appear to have increased in
the Twining City district and the river
there is filled with wild oats. The same
conditions are reported near Benning
bridge. No blackbirds at all have ap-
peared yet.
One regulation made public by the
Department Of Agriculture concerning
the protection of game birds IN that a
daily closed season on all migratory
game birds shall extend from sunset
to sunrise. so that there can legally be
no shooting on the river between these
hours.
The first tournament of the season in
which people in this part of the District
and in the contiguous section of Mary
land have an interest, has been ar
ranged for Labor Day at Oxon Hill.
