What could constitute a more ideal va- 

 cation trip than packing off in May or 

 June, the height of the birds' breeding 

 period, and traversing a portion of the 

 coast with a view to stopping here and 

 there at the most populous and fascinat- 

 ing bird rookeries? If the writer were 

 to be stricken in the next 24 hours with 

 some malady which would confine him 

 to his bed for the balance of his days, the 

 most highly cherished memories that 

 could come to him would be of his ex- 

 periences in the big bird colonies of the 

 Atlantic coast. Most of these spots are 

 islands, for there are few enemies on 

 these places such as the land birds have 

 to contend with, and an abundant and 

 constant food supply is always at hand 

 in the ocean near by.
