HOME AFTER THEIR
LONG MIGRATION

Urbana. ILL.,, April S.-Though many
birds from this section migrate as
far south as Central and South Amer
lea, it has been found by actual test
that many of them return to the same
localities and sometimes even to the
same nest.
Results of inquiry in the Middle
West and South covering a number OF
years are reported by Frank Smith
professor of zoology at the University
of Illinois, in the annual Illinois ArboI
Day and Bird Book.
Facts were obtained by trapping
birds. placing small leg bands on
them, and letting them 60 Here arc
some OF the things Professor Smith
records:
A catbird banded near Cleveland
Ohio, in 1914, was retaken in the
same locality the following year. Two
catbirds banded in 1916 were retaker
in 1917, and one of them was again
,aken in 1919. Catbirds winter as
/ far south as Panama.
A chimney swift banded in 1916 was
retaken in the same chimney the fol
lowing year. Chimney Swifts winter
wholly south of the United States.
A tiny house wren banded in 1915
was rctaken in 1916 and found to be

House wrens winter in the South At
