GOLDEN PLOvER FLIES
5000 MILES ANNUALLY
Bird Spends Summers in Arctic
Shows and It's Winters in,
Argentina.

! Amazing as are the recent flights
of airplanes across the Atlantic avia-
tors must fly farther and do it more
frequently to warrant literal ap
peIlation of bird men," says a bull
letin of the National Geographic So
ciety which calls attention to the
golden plover. which summers in the
arctic and winters in Argentina.
The bulletin. based on communi-
cation to the society by noted
naturalist. describes the perennial
aerial tour of ''our greatest traveller"
as follows:
This species nests along the arctic
coast of North America. and as soon
as the young are old enough to care
for themselves fall migration is be-
gun by trip to the Labrador coast,
where the plover fattens for several
weeks on the abundant native fruits.
A short trip across the Gulf of st.
Lawrence brings it to Nova Scotia.
the starting point for it's extraordi-
nary ocean flight, due south to the
coast of South America.
"The golden plover takes straight
course across the ocean, and. if the
weather is propitious. makes the
whole 2,40e miles without pause or
rest. But if tempests arise it may be
blown out of it's course to the New
England coast and start anew on the
advent of fair weather, or it may rest
third of the way along it's course, or
at the nearest of the Lesser Antilles.
still 600 miles from the mainland of
South America. These, however. are
emergency stop-overs, to be resorted
| to only in case of storms. Having ac-
complished it's ocean voyage it passes
across eastern South America to it's
winter home in Argentina.
| after six-month vacation here
the plover finds it's way back to the
arctic by an entirely different route
1t travels across northwestern South
America and the Gulf of Mexico,
reaching the United States along the
coasts Of Louisiana and Texas. Thence
it moves slowly up the Mississippi
valley, and by early June is again at
the nesting site on the arctic coast
It's round trip has taken the form of
an enormous ellipse, with a minor
axis of 1000 miles and a major axis
stretching 5000 miles from arctic
America to Argentina"
