FEATHERED CITIZENS OE THE AIR FIND SANCTUARY HERE 



This bird refuge of Kingsville, Ontario, has become a favorite resort for Wild Geese and 

 other migrating flocks (see text, page 95). They know where they are safe and fly up well out 

 of reach of gunshot before venturing off the protected property of the sanctuary. 



PLACING A BAND ON A STARLING 



Hardy and pugnacious, the Starling is well fitted to care for itself in the struggle for 

 existence.' Although its ancestors came from Europe less than half a century ago, it has spread 

 rapidly through the north and middle Atlantic sections and threatens to become a real pest.
