Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nature´s Wanderers Hummingbirds that are so small as to appear completely fragile are still able to cross 500 miles of the Gulf of Mexico in a single flight. Pondering on migration, we´re likely to think first of the wild geese. The goose has been adopted as its symbol by the Fish and Wildlife Service because the bird mates for life, and returns to the same area year after year. Geese exemplify Nature more than the eagle. In fact, some naturalists have suggested that the eagle be displaced as the national emblem with the wild goose elevated to that honor. Of the one thousand species of birds of North America that migrate, only about a quarter of them spend their winters as far south as the Gulf States. About 150 of those intrepid travelers wing still further south - leaving the U.S.A. behind them. There must be an instinctive planning that goes into the manner in which birds migrate, for they traverse certain, definite routes. Ornithologists can point to seven different migration routes. There´s the Atlantic Coast flyway, which goes over the Great Lakes, down to Washington, D. C., and on over the Atlantic. This is a favored route for ducks from the east. Bearing the heaviest bird traffic is the Mississippi Valley route. Migrants from Canada´s Mackenzie Valley soar across the Great Lakes, down the Mississippi Valley and on to Central and South America. Western meadow larks and some gulls and ducks use a Great Plains flyway. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
