From Smithsonian Report, 1913. 



Chimney Swift ringed at Meriden, New Hampshire, U. S. A., in June, which returned 

 to his old chimney after wintering in the Tropics in the June of the following year. 

 Similar records have been obtained in this country in the case of the Swallow*, the Swift, 

 the Spotted Flycatcher, and other summer visitors.

BLACK-THROATED DIVER (Colymbus arcticiix) WITH NEST AND EGGS 



A beautiful bird which nests in some remote parts of Scotland, but is commoner as a winter visitor to our coasts. The nest is 

 usually close to the water on an island in some small loch. The bird's legs are set very far back for purposes of swimming and diving; 

 on land, therefore, it does not stand upright, but pushes itself forward on its breast.
