Splendid Bird Year Promised and Local Fishing Tale

A writer forecasts a splendid bird crop this year and recalls a January sighting on the Waterhen River where Fred Switter caught a 28 pound pike. Switter has since moved to Birtle and reportedly hosts nightly gatherings for the Birtle Eye Witness readers.
