What tempts the little humming
bird that we see in our gardens to
travel every spring from near the
equator to as far north as the arctic
circle, leaving behind him, as he does,
for season, many tropical delights
lie is the only one of many humming
birds that pluckily leaves the land of
gayly colored birds to go into yolun-
tary exile in the north, east of the Mis-
sissippi. How it stirs the Imagination
to picture the solitary, tiny migrant, a
mere atom of bird life, moving above
the range of human sight through the
vast dome of the sky! Borne swiftly
onward by rapidly vibrating little
wings. he covers the thousands of
miles between his winter home and his
summer one by easy stages and ar
rives at his chosen destination, wealth
er permitting, at approximately the
same date year after year.-Country
