FEBRUARY. O* 



These, it will be seen at a glance, are birds of 

 more northern climates, which have merely 

 sought to escape the wintry rigours of their 

 native regions, and are now returning to pre- 

 pare for the cares and enjoyments of the 

 summer in the Orkneys, Shetlands, Iceland, 

 Greenland, and about Hudson's Bay, &c. 

 Several of them, however, only partially mi- 

 grate, as the godwit, purre, sanderling, sea 

 curlew, etc. resorting to the fens and moors in 

 the interior in summer, and returning to the 

 coast in winter.
