ILLUSTRATOR OF BIRD LIFE
MEETS FEATHERED TOURISTS

Adding to the ZeSt of bird study
in general, but of this study in
ST. Petersburg in particular, is
always the chance of meeting
really rare visitors which may
chance to stop for food, for rest.
or to await a favorable change of
the, tide, or weather. The present
time is especially one in which to
watch for number Of birds
rarely or never found here in
winter. For the northward, mi
grafton is well under way and
new faces" are appearing daily
/ in the bird life of our west coast
! beaches.
The entire tourist season is a
period roughly coinciding with
the time when the whole gulf
coast forms a winter retreat for a
vast army of birds. Indeed, these
birds are very largely tourists
themselves. Without family cares
or other conditions which would
limit them to one small area. they
roam at will. A rare tern may
visit your home beach today and
another still more unusual NAV
replace him tomorrow. Such is
the normal wandering carefree
life of many birds during what is
in fact their annual vacation. One
day last week I found the local
beach enlivened with beautiful
notified turnstones; a species of
plover1ike bird. The following
day pearly, k-cheeked Cabot's
terms were in their place. The
next morning the same little spit
of sand was teeming with black
bellied plover dainty little snowy
plover with conspicuous willets,
while gulls of four species, royal
terms, black swimmers and a host
of small sandpipers gave variety
and animation.
And so, if it should be re-
marked that the Sunshine City
lacks the attraction of a zoologi-
cal park, one NAV we'll reply that
St. Petersburg is endowed by
nature with a great zoo such.
alone, as the true lover of nature
can endorse Fundamentally and
without reservation an area
teeming with a varied and chang
ing wild life; yet without bound
airy, fence or cage to warp and
restrict the creatures it harbors.
And, finally, it is an area which
you and I may enter any day of
the week, enjoying its wealth of
bird life to the full. without other
cost than the time it takes.

DEAD MEMS EYES

Restored sight for 100000 blind per-
sons in the United States is proposed by
DR.. Martin l. Green. of San Francisco,
who would transferable Icornea sections
from the eyes of }HewtY-dead persons to
the eyes of living patients The opera
ton, he says, must be performed within
twenty four hours of death.
While the purpose is entirely HUI
manitarian. it will probably be some time
before the public generally accepts the
right of society to take cornea sections
from the dead. II is very probable that at
least the previous consent of the individual,
or of his survivors, will be required.
Meanwhile, from San Quentin prison,
in California, comes the news that Alfred
Kessel. sentenced to death, has bequeathed
the cornea of his left eye to the Rev IT, E.
Harding, of Portland. Oregon. The con-
demned man took this action after recev-
ing letter from the minister who is
Threatened with blindness.

from ST. Petersburg Times)
By EDMUND J. SAWYER

In this brief review it is the
writer's purpose to call more gem
eral attention to the wealth OF
bird life which lies not at the
doors of this city, but, as it were,
actually within those doors. How
many tourists even among those
who enjoy every day the rare
treat of feeding the waterfront
ducks, realize that by merely eX-
tending their daily stroll into a
short walk along the bayside it is
possible to see from Is to 20
kinds of water birds in addition
to the bluebills, ring billed gulIs
and pelicans they are accustomed
to feed by hand?
Interesting and inspiring as is
the spectacle of these hundreds of
confiding birds, eager for the
bountiful supply of food they
have come to expect, they are
really quite few in number OF
species; four is the usual roll call.
The few other species seen in the
immediate neighborhood of the
pier still keep at respectful and
suspicious distance from an.
There is, of course, the pictur-
esque boat-tailed grackle or
"blackbird" ever at hand. The
boat-tails, however, are land
birds
Following the shore-line in my
daily walk from Thirty-first ave-
nue. north to the pier I never fail
to observe less than Is species OF
water-birds. On March 10 there
were in sight at one time on a
section of the beach not over $50
feet long no less than Is species
of .gulls, terms, plover, sandpipers,
ducks and associated birds. And
that is for me an all-time record
of its kind in more than 30 years
field work with wild birds from
coast to coast. Canada to MeXicoi
