How birds Migrate.

Many of the smaller and weaker
birds, like the fly catchers, vireos,
wrens. kinglets and bluebirds, in order
TO avoid their enemies. the hawks,
make their long flights by night, stop
ping for rest and food in the daytime.
The larger and holder ones. like the
hawks and crows, and those of ex-
tremely rapid flight, like the swallows
and humming birds, migrate fearlessly
by day, and there are some, like the
Canada geese, which travel just when
they choose, by day or night. Migrat'
ing birds usually fly at a height OF
from one to three miles, and this ena-
bIes them to see the rivers. the noun
tain ranges and the coast line By
these they direct their course, the old
birds remembering the way they came
before and the young ones following
