16 THE ACADEMY BELL our birds the loss would be much greater. Our class, like the swallows, rids the air of small gauzy-winged pests, such as mosquitoes, gnats and midges. Phoebes and other flycatchers sit on posts and dead branches, ready to launch off into the air the instant an insect comes into sight. This class of birds keep down the larger flying insects. The small warblers and creepers help to free the foliage from insects, while the woodpeckers and nuthatches hunt for eggs of insects and beetles on the tree trunks. The feathered army that takes care of the ground is composed of crows, robins, meadow-larks and sparrows. The last is one of the most useful groups. Unobtrusive as they are, they lay the farmer under a helvy debt of gratitude, since their chosen fare consists largely of the seeds of weeds. It was est matcd in 1910 that the sparrow family saved to our farmers over eighty-nine million dollars. Hawks and crows do more good than harm. You call them thieves and pillagersg but know 'lhcy are the wiiiged wardens of your farms, ' Who from the cornfields drive the insidious foe, And from your liarvests keep a hundred harms, Even the blackest of them all, the crow, Renders good service as your man-at-arms, Crushirg tlee beetle in his coat of mail, And working havoc on the slug and snail. If we were deprived of the service of birds, the earth would soon become un- inhabitable. Perhaps one of the most wonderful things in bird life is their annual migra- tion. lt isnlt strange that birds leave the North when winter comes, but the marvel is that they should leave the abundant food and sunshine of the South and wing their way thousands of miles to build their nests and spend the short summer here, coming not only to the same town but often to their last year's nesting place. The Arctic tern is said to be the great- est of all travelers: it breeds as far north as it can nnd land and winters as far south as it can find open water from which to take its food. So it makes a round trip of twenty-two fthousand miles a year. Imagine the tiny ruby-throated humming-bird, whose outstretched wings barely measure two inches, journeying from New England to Central America. lt is surprising to learn that no one knows the winter quarters of the chimney swift as they are able wholly to vanish from the knowledge of man for five months of the year. As soon as the young are old enough to hunt a little for themselves, the families slowly move southg others join them until, on the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, they become an innumerable host, then they disappear. In the last week of March there comes again out of the sky a great twittering, and the swifts have re- turned, from whence nobody knows. Vastly amazing is the flight of the golden plover, who leaves the coast of Nova Scotia, striking straight across the ocean for South America, twenty-four hundred miles away. Those on the Pa- cihc coast go across an islandless sea from Alaska to Hawaii. Who knows by what compass they steer for that speck in the greatest of oceans?
