Birds of Lewiston-Auburn 'jy 



SUGGESTIONS 



The best time for observation is early morning. If 

 that is impossible, late afternoon is next best. Bird-lovers 

 avoid windy weather, for then the feathered songsters are 

 less numerous. During cold days or the early hours of 

 cold mornings birds will be scarce. Some dull days, if 

 mild, will be favorable. On a warm sunshiny morning 

 following a migration a bird-lover has all an enthusiast 

 could wish, but the next morning what a change — many 

 have passed forward on their northern journey, for it is 

 probable that the same individuals of a species do not 

 tarry long in one locality during the flights north. In 

 times of migration birds of the same species continue to 

 arrive and depart until all have passed to their nesting 

 ground. This accounts for birds of the same kind being 

 seen several weeks in the spring. The same may be said 

 of the autumnal flight south.
