THE ROBINS GO A-TRAVELLING 



IT was not long after this first nesting 

 demonstration that we began our prepa- 

 rations for the summer outing. 



" But what shall we do with the birds? " 

 we asked each other again and again. To 

 this question, no matter how we viewed it, 

 there was always but one answer. "We 

 must take them with us." 



Balancing the fatigues and dangers of the 

 journey against the cruelty of leaving them 

 where they would no doubt pine to death 

 for us, the scales always tipped in favor of 

 their accompanying us; so at the end of 

 May, we and they started on our northern 

 journey.
