STREAMING BACK
Considering that the day is always just 12 hours long at the Equator, no wonder birds which wlntered there are eager to fly north after March 22nd, in order to be in an area where light lasts much longer, giving them more time for foraging. And so the migrants are streaming northward at this minute.
Robins have little difficulty in arriving here early in spring be- came they spend the cold months onLv a short way beyond our southern boundary. But any species have 9. long Journe. 1t takes the Barn Swallow many weeks iao cover the distance from southern Brazil to Conada. But this is one of the fortunate few mble to wend their way slowly by iay and rest at night. The reason is that "willows can feed as they fly, became their food is composed exclusively of flying insects. This group is comparatively small.
A second group of day travellers is composed of particularly strong fliers, including Hawks and Gulls. They can make good time without fatigue, leaving sufficient daylight for catching their dinners before rtlng. -
The great majority of birds.
ally small ones, migrate by night. partly to avoid their enemies under cover of darkness, but main- ly because they must use at least some hours of light for marketing. For seed eaters this is esentiai, but the group takes in our many kinds of Sparrows, Warblers. Vireos, and Thrushes. Digestion is rapid in birds, and fuel for continued night is L necesity. Then they must rest before continuing migration the next night. Most nighlt travel takes place from 8 to midnight and from 4 to 6 a. m. Few are in the air during the hours of total dark-
ness.
Most wading and swimming birds, as Ducks and Geese. .l0l11'n!'.V If any time. Divers chome to fly over water by day and over land by night. Like horses when nearing home, most migrants pick up speed: they also are inclined to extend their flying hours, so that they are moving both by day and by night.
While we. are heralding the in- coming flocks of Song Sparrows, luncos, Meadowlarks, Flerring Gulls. Raed-shouldered Hawks, and Marsh Hawks that are now appearing from the south, we must be wav- ing farewell to the birds which spent the winter with us. Redpolls, Purple Finches, Pine Gromeaks, Pine siskins, and Crossbills either have already left us, or are about to start, northward bound for the nestling season.
