Record Shows Crow

The Massachusetts Audubon So-
ciety recently published spine in-
teresting material in connection
with the life span. of birds: Mi-
grating birds are, of course, sub-
, jetted to more hazards'then those
that remain in one place, although
some of the former have attained
long life. A white pelican, banded
in Yellowstone Park in 1932,.died
in Montana in' 1940, but a gannet,
banded' int Quebec in' 1922, lived
until 1939. • '* •
In British Columbia, naturalists
banded a •glaucous -winged gull' in
1925. It was found deadt in the
same province in 1936. ' The
Arctic tern, which coves more
miles in migration than any other ,
bird, was recorded as having ' a
ten-year .life span; and the 'much-•
maligned 'crow, hunted, dynamited.

one case to have lived for ler-
teen years; -'- - •
But the one for -the record book
is the partially -albino crow which
was found dead at. Arnold Arbo-
