Other interesting reports growing out
of ttds work are timse pertaining to
three Caspian terns, widcit were to
catcd in Colombia, Souti) America.
These were fonnd just at the time
when !dr<i hamiing was iieing done at
theoriginaicoiony inMictdgan (ids
year, tiiereiiy proving tifat the young
birds do not breed in timirtirst year.
According to the agricuttnrai experi
menters two Caspian terns were re
ported found in Nova Scotia ant! tunny
"titers were discovert;] niong Cm
routes to titehtttercottniryiindSoutii
Atnerica. Those fouttti en route, tiie
invesligators say, show what course is
foiiowed by the tttigrating birds be
tween their summer am) winter homes.
With the growing interest in tbe
procedure the,department has otiiy re
eentiy puidished a iist of instructions
concerning tliepractica) signitiennee
of bird itanding. as weii as some of its
history. This form of identification in
Atnetica dates from the time of Audu
bon, wtm about 1803 piaced siiver
threads around the tegs of a brood of
phoeites and was rewarded the foiiow
ing season by having two of ids
marked birds return to nest in the
same vicinity. Aithough bird "ringing"
was attempted in Europe as eariy as
1710 it was airnost 200 years iater. in
1800, that systematic work was under
taken
Started In 1901.
The eartier investigators, according
to the recent report, marked their
binds hy dyeing or staining the Right
font!:'rs.' feet'or Ml').' In thi^Mtmt'ry
active experimenta) work was begun
in 1001. when atuminum bands were
attaeited to the iegs of the birds. The
results were so satisfactory and stim
ulated so much interest that eight
years iater the American Bird Band
ing association was organized in New
York city. Subsequent study has re
vested that two prineipai lines of re
search must be given special attention.
First of these is the banding of Redg
lings and the second, tbe systematic
trapping and banding of aduits. The
latter is the more significant because
the older birds give tbe most informa
tion on bird habits.
Trapping is accompiishpd hy various
snares, one of the popuiar ones being
the "Government" sparrow trap, a fun
noi-shaped device of wire and hard
ware cioth easiiy made even hy the
novice and very effective. Others
which tiie department recommends are
the weil-known drop trap, tiie door of
which is suspended untii the unwary
bird makes for the bait, when it drops
down and shuts in the victim.
The department, to be abie to study
even more closeiy titan heretofore the
ltfe histories of birds, urgentiy re
quests tiie co-operation of naturaiists
whose casuai discoveries of wayfaring
band hearing birds might be w eii
worth reporting. In this way the gov
ernnienta) investigators expect to solve
the many probiems which previously
have batHed the ornithologist. Among
these are the speed with which indi
viduals of any species may travel on
their periodic migrations, the possible
vanguard formed by one Rock for oth
ers and tiie advance made by succes
sive Rocks passing one over tiie other
In aiternate periods of rest and Right.
Questions to Be Answered.
Other questions which can be an
swered by bird-banding operations
are:
Do individual of any species ai
ways foiiow the same route, and is the
route the same for both spring and
faii tiights?
Do migrating birds make the same
stopover every year to feed?
How iong do birds remain in one io
catity during the migration, the breed
ing or the winter season?
What is the reiation between the
breeding and the wintering grounds of
individuals; that is, do those birds
that breed farthest north winter
farthest south, thus jumping over
those that occupy the intermdiate
zone, or do they merely repiace the
iatter individuate as winter residents?
To what region do the birds go, par
ticutariy the young, that do not return
to the vicinity of their ortgtnai nests?
Do birds adopt the same nesting
area, nest site and winter quarters in
successive seasons?
For how many broods wiii one pair
rematn mated, and which bird, if not
both, is attracted neat year to the oid
nest ins site?
To whnt extent do mates of a spe
cie assist in inenhntion and brooding?
How far from thsfrnofts do Mt^
forage for food, and after the young
ggve i6& the nest wlH the parent birds
