ed journeys that for peril and distance
would strike terror to the heart Of
man, armed though he be with reason
and foresight
The weaker birds seem to prefer the
night time migration. William Brew
ster of Cambridge, Mass, has settled
this point probably definitely.
He believes the reason the wrens,
the warblers, the vireos and all the
thrush family except the robin prefer
the night journey is because they are
afraid Of the exposure by daylight, or
are unable 10 continue such Journeys
day after day without losing much
time in stopping to search for food.
BY taking the nights for travelling they
can devote the days entirely to feed.
Bold, restless. strong-winged birds
migrate chiefly or very freely by day
because, being accustomed to seek
their food in open situations, they are
Indifferent to concealment. and being

iances rapidly and with slight fatigue.

striking, and what little straggler of
the great bird army fell victim to
that hawks rapacity can only be a
matter of conjecture.
Thousands upon thousands of birds
are killed every year by striking
against the panes of the lighthouses
which line the coasts of lakes and
seas. The birds become bewildered by
fog and rain and are attracted by the
light which is meant TO be beacon
of safety for the travellers by sea, but
which proves to be the lure to destruc
ton of the wanderer of the air. OBJ
servatlons have been made systemat
ically at nearly all the lighthouses
under government control, and the fig
ures of bird mortality are startling

and storm, that the question of the
migration of the birds does not cease
to be of interest because there are nj
birds left TO migrate.
Just a word on the good that thu
warblers do. In a government report
prepared by +. Z. l.. Real of the bio
logical survey this appears: Although
warblers are individually small theii
numbers are great. and the quantity OF
insects they destroy in the aggregate
must be large. In the month of May
when the apple trees have expanded
rosettes of small leaves and flower
buds. a multitude of warblers of sew
eral species were seen going through
an orchard examining these rosettes.
and apparently picking something
from each. An investigation of the
trees not yet reached by the warblers
showed that each rosette contained
from one to a dozen large plant lice,
while a similar investigation of the
trees explored by the birds revealed
few of these insects"

condition in which an army of birds
newly sprung to life, finds itself in a
temperate country with foraging con-
ditions of the best, and then suddenly
finds itself face to face with frost and
famine We can understand why the
army pressed by hunger and cold
should take up the march for another
and better camping ground.
Let us consider next that the bird
army has left frost and famine behind
and has found place of warmth and
plenty. The months pass on, the eli
mate remains genial, and the food
supply remains abundant, yet there
are signs of restlessness in the ranks
of the feathered hosts. The fields and
the forests of the southland at sun
set still hold the army in battalions
and regiments, but search at sunrise,
and not even a straggler remains.
What is it that has sent the birds
back to the country which less than
six months ago chilled them and
borders? No one knows, and there
arc those scientists who, unlike most
of their brothers who never are willing
ito admit any problem unsolvable, are
not backward in saying that the mi
grafton will remain a mystery until
the end of time.
Aristotle 800 and more years before
Christ wrote of the yearly movements
of the birds. The scientist of to-day
is writing upon the same subject and
it may be that the scientist of more
than 20 centuries hence will write of
the migration and end his writings
with the same old interrogation.
. 1t has been said that the birds feel
the touch of frost and famine and i'm
mediately take up their march, This
is true only in part, for with some
species the southwark flying move
ment begins in August before there is
even a suspicion of the following OF

In the month of September the war

them pass over the city and country
in the darkness of the night. They are
mites of creatures, these warblers, be-
ing but a degree or two removed in

WHY DO BIRDS FLY SOUTH?

they can ordinarily spare sufficient
time by the way for brief stops il
places where food is abundant and cas-
lily obtained. Under certain conditions,
however, as when crossing large
bodies of water or regions scantily
supplied with food, they are sometimes
obliged to travel partly, or perhaps
even exclusively, by night. Excellent
examples are the robin (Merula),
horned lark (Octocoris) and most lc-
teridae (bobolinks, blackbirds and or!
oles).
Birds of easy, tireless wing, which
habitually feed in the air or over very
extensive areas, migrate exclusively
by day, because being able either to
obtain their usual supply of food az
they fly or to accomplish the longest
journeys so rapidly that they do not
require to feed on the way, they are
under no necessity Of changing their
usual habits. The best examples are
swallows, swifts, and hawks"
If you who read this article on the
migration wish to have an experience
that will appeal to you as being little
short of startling, take field glass
with twoinch lens and focus it upon
the full moon, and then take up a
nightly vigil. If conditions be favor
able you will see clearly the forms
of the southwark flying birds as they
pass across the moons face.
There is no experience known to the
bird student, perhaps. which has the
interest that is held by this midnight
study. 1t is, of course, better to have
for observing purposes telescope OF
power so arranged that the arm of the
observer need not tire at its task. 1t
follows necessarily that the larger and
more powerful the glass the more sat
isfactory will be the results. For one
fairly familiar with the form and
flight of birds it is possible, with
nights shadows falling all about, to
distinguish and to call by name the
songsters as they scurry across the
face of the moon.

fact that while the images of the birds
fall upon the eye their notes as they
call to one another through the semi
darkness drop tinkling down upon the
ear. Though you may see them not
because their pathway does not hap
pen to cross that of your line of vision
yet you may recognize the call of the
grosbeak, the twitter of the swallow
or the "chink" of tHe blackbird as ii
marking the time for each successive
wing stroke.
One observer more lucky than his
fellows saw a sparrow hawk stop sud
denly in its fight, seemingly in the
very heart of the MOON and there
hover fully a minute, while its wings
beat with lightning-like rapidly to
keep it at it's chosen lowering point.
The sparrow hawk thus poises before
