In particular, you have highly significant interaction terms, in which case the main effects tests are mostly irrelevant. You may need to consult a textbook on Poisson modelling or generalized linear modelling -- the discussion is a bit too long to be fitted into a mailing list.

We do not know what is meant by the entries in those tables.  Many years 
ago (before even the term 'deviance' was coined) H.O. Lancaster and 
others partitioned chi-squared tests, with a similar table to an 
analysis of deviance but different numerical quantities.  Although 
Peter's guess is the most likely one, it is not the only possible one.

As an overall test of fit in a Poisson log-linear model there is a 
likelihood-ratio aka deviance test (sometimes called a G^2 test or 
G-test) and a Chi-squared test (which is different).

The 'df' in the table make no sense.  For three binary variables, Season 
x sex has more df than Season or Sex, and Time x Sex has fewer .... 
Even if we had the reference (and the OP really should have given us 
that to allow him to reproduce it under 'fair use' copyright law) I 
guess we would be little the wiser.
