Nesting Instincts, Not Climate,
I,npe1s Migration of Birds

South America in winter that 1t Is time
to migrate. 1t must be a force from with
In, a physiological change warning them
of the approach OF the breeding season.
that impels them to spread their wings for
the long flight.
The habit OF migration has been evolved
through countless generations. and dur
ing this time the physical structure and
habits of birds have been undergoing a
process OF evolution in adaptation to the
climate of the summer home. In spring
and early summer climatic conditions are
decidedly variable, and yet there must be-
some period that has on the average the
best weather for the birds arrival. In
the course of ages there have been de-
veloped habits of migration, under the
influence of which the bird so performs
its migratory movements that on the
average 1t arrives at the nesting site at
the proper time.
Some birds migrate by day. but most
OF them seek the cover OF darkness. Day
migrants include ducks and geese (Which
also migrate by nieht), hawks, swallows.
the n~ighthawk and the chimney swift
The last two. combining business and
pleasure. catch their morning or evening
meal during Il zigzag flight that tends In
the desired direction. The daily advance
OF such migrants covers only q few miles
and when a large body OF water Is en-
colntered they pass around rather than
across it. The night migrants include all
the great family OF warblers, the thrushea.
hycatchers, vireos. orioles. tanagers. shore
birds and most OF the sparrows. They
usually begin their flight soon after dark
and end it before dawn, and go farther
before than after midnight.
Night migration probably results in
more casualties from natural causes than
would occur IL the birds made the same
journey by day: but, on the other hand,
there is a decided gain in the matter OF
food supply. For instance. a bird feeds
all day on the north shore of the Cult
of Mexico; If. then. 1t waited until the
the gulf in the daytime it would arrive
on the Mexican coast at nightfall and
would have to fast until the following
morning to appease It's hunger. Thus
there would be 36 consecutive hours with
out food. whereas. by night migration the
same journey can be performed with only
a IL hours fast.
During migration birds are peculiarly
liable to destruction by striking high OBJ
jects. The Washington has
witnessed the death of many little mi
grants: on a single morning in the spring
of 1902 nearly $50 lifeless bodies were
strewn around it's base. AS long as the
torch In the Statue of Liberty in New
York harbor was kept lighted the sacri-
flee of bird life 1t caused was enormous,
even reaching a maximum of 100 birds u
