Transcript | i te=a From A DICTIONARY OF BIRDS - Alfred Newton VOLUME I No. 12" April 1961 s "It has long been remarked that on clear and bright nights * * birds are rarely heard passing overhead, while on nights * that are overcast, misty and dark, especially if light rain * * be falling, flocks may often be heard almost continuously. * *.It is in such weatherthat birds while migrating are most * * vociferous, doubtless with the result that thereby the com- * * pany of fellow travelers, is kept together, and in such * weather they fly to and often dash themselves against the * * glasses of lighthouses, occasionally in astonishing numbers a *"..... These great hosts consist usually of many kinds of * birds, congruous only in their congress.... the air is filled* * -with their cries, among which are several that are wholly * unrecognizable, for it would seem that some birds have a ? language that they use only while migrating. $ PUBLISHED BY TH5ORNITHOLOGY GROUP.
