FLIGHT OF BIRDS.
The Speed of Ducks and Swallows or
the Wing.


There has been some difference IL
the conclusions of observers as to the
relative height above the earth and
more especially as to relative velocity
Of movement in the semi-annual flight,
north or south, of some of our migra
tory birds.
Judging from all that has been OBJ
served, 1t seems probable taat the We
locity Of some of these far travellers
has Deen exaggerated.
Careful measurements by means OF
the cloud theodolites used by the 90
servers at the Meteorological station
1T Blue Hill In Milton, few miles
south of Boston. have shown that the
observed focks of northward going
wild geese were at an elevation Of $50
feet above the sea level, and that the
velocity of fight was 44.3 miles an
hour.
This also is about the height at
which a flock OF wild ducks flew, and
their velocity was AIS miles an hour
These yelocities are nowhere the
speed with which wild ducks have been
credited, for these swift birds have
been said to fly Gt rate exceeding LOO
miles an hour,
That ducks do at times exceed the
rate noted by the Blue Hill observers
seems very probable, but it is by no
means certain that they ever fly ut
such velocity as 1908 miles an hour,
is some observers have asserted.
Just what velocity would be requisite
n a duck striking the heavy, projecting
glass of a lighthouse to drive his bill
Down his throat may be a difficult
problem, but the fact itself has been
noted, in the case of at least num-
Der of one flock of ducks that had been
Hvinp southward on their autumnal mi
~ lne lighthouse tower on Anastasia
island, near ST. Augustine, Fla.
Sweeping In the darkness of cloudy
nlght, the ducks had followed the in
,reasing beam from the light and
dashed down upon the thick but clear
ylass wall with the effect above men
;ioned.
Very likely velocity of 60 miles an
lour would suffice to drive q ducks
>ill down its throat, and 1t may be
question whether the duck ever really
1y at a much greater velocity than
,ixty to seventy miles an hour.
There are other migrating birds--no-
tably the swallows-that seem to ny
at least as swiftly as the wild duck.
AS to elevation, it seems probable that
few migrating tiocks Of any kind travel
at greater height, except in going over
mountains, than about 1000 to 1000.
The smaliness and indistinctness of
high-hying flock of geese, seemingly
so far up as almost to blend with the
gray sky and to render their far cries
nimost inaudible, would all be produced
if these large birds were flying at an
elevation no greater than 1900 to 1,SOo
feet.
