NOTES ON LONG 
ISLAND SHORE BIRDS 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 122) 
In plumage they are almost exactly alike, 
mottled more or less black and white in 
summer, gray above and white below in 
winter. The very considerable differ- 
ence of size between the two is not al- 
ways appreciable, but the trained eye 
will usually pick out the much larger 
bill of the Greater Yellowleg. The 
whistled notes of the two are recogniz- 
ably different, those of the Greater be- 
ing clearer and more ringing, whew, 
whew, whew, generally in series of three 
or more calls instead of singly or in 
twos. The Lesser has also a common 
shorter note whip, whip, whip often ut- 
tered continuously, and most frequently 
heard when they are flying in flocks of 
fair size. Both species have other cries, 
some of which are indistinguishable in 
the two. 
In spring the Lesser Yellowleg mig- 
rates up the Mississippi Valley and is 
of rare occurrence on the Atlantic Coast, 
while the Greater is abundant and noisy 
there. On the southward migration both 
species arrive in July, following the 
meadows along the coast. The Lesser 
or Summer Yellowleg attains its great- 
est abundance in August, occurring 
singly or in flocks of varying size, twenty 
or even forty individuals together being 
not uncommon. The Greater or Winter 
Yellowleg is comparatively scarce until 
September or October, and sometimes 
lingers into November. 
Cases among birds, similar to that of 
the Yellowlegs, where two species are 
practically identical in color though dif- 
fering markedly in size, are not rare. 
Very likely the Greater Yellowleg is not 
so closely related to the Lesser as its 
similarity in plumage would lead one to 
suppose. Perhaps its similarity to that 
species not infrequently enables it to 
escape the Duck Hawk deluded into be- 
lieving it is dealing with the smaller, 
less active bird. 
LAWS FOR TRAPPERS AND 
HUNTERS 
T O aid trappers and hunters the U. 
S. Department of Agriculture has 
issued Farmers’ Bulletin* 1022, “Laws 
Relating to Fur Bearing Animals,” 
which is a summary of legislation in the 
United States, Canada, and Newfound- 
land, relating to trapping, open seasons, 
propagation, and bounties. Under the 
stimulus of high prices there is always 
danger that trappers will deplete the 
trapping grounds and permanently de- 
crease the number of fur animals, the 
Federal specialists say. Regulations and 
seasons should be carefully observed, so 
that the fur supply of the future shall 
not be endangered. 
For the flscal year ended June 30, 
1918, the foreign trade of the United 
States in. raw and manufactured furs 
reached the largest total in the history 
of the country. While exports were only 
$13 903,631 as compared with $15,729,- 
160 for 1917, the imports were $38,389,- 
372, as compared with $21,553,375.
