Now and then some large birds would pass, and from some peculiarity In lu fight It was possible at times to even Identify the specs to which it belonged. Such observations may be made by anyone during the fall season, and any bird student who will take the trrfublr to make them will get an insight Into the subject of bird migration which he could scarcely get In any other way. Of course almost everyone is more oi acquainted with the annual flight of the wild geese, and as they pasr above ua In the gray dswn of a spring morning, each with his neck extended toward the pole, they form h picture rhlch we could scarcely forget; but to >e It Is not nearly so Impressive aa the clear twitterings of millions of smaller migrants, falling straight through the frosty air of a starlight
