Bird Migration Begins
Although it is stili February, Mi-
gratory birds are on the. move. Don't
assume that this means an early
spring. According' to ornithologists
of the Royal Ontario Museum, ;bird
migration • commences at this time of
year, every year.
February is the "month when Snow
Buntings and HornedltLarks, birds
which have Sojourned in the united
States, re-enter our province. Toward
the end of the .`month scattered bands
of claws also can be expected to
wing their 'way 'aver or asouthern'
counties. Far to the south, in South
America, many; kinds of abisds . are
becoming restive. Shorebirds of
several kinds which will nest within
the ,Arctic circle are already on the
move northward. •Cheer up, maybe
spring is just around the corner,
