maintaining its comparative abundance 
is that during- the fall migration a 
great many flights of these birds take 
place in a direct line from Nova Scotia 
to the Lesser Antilles, thereby avoiding- 
completely the Atlantic coast line, ex¬ 
cept during certain seasons when heavy 
northeasterly and easterly storms drive 
A great numbers of them into shore. 
Though a few individuals have been 
known to spend the summer within the 
confines of the United States (from 
whence it derived its name of summer 
yellowlegs), by far the greater major¬ 
ity nest in the Barren Grounds. Its 
winter home extends over practically 
the entire southern half of South 
America and as far south as the Strait 
of Magellan. Its average arrival in 
the vicinity of Long Island is about 
July 15th. 
Black-bellied or Black-breasted Plov¬ 
er: The back of this species during 
the late summer and early fall is of a 
dark brown color distinctly speckled 
with white. The under parts are white 
and the tail white and barred with 
sooty black. The black breast is re¬ 
tained as a rule until late fall. This 
bird is quite easily distinguished by its 
rather distinctive coloration and by the 
I white band on the wings, which can 
readily be seen when the bird is in 
flight. The immature birds, however, 
are rather difficult to distinguish from 
the adult golden plover, but since the 
latter is also on the “open list” of 
shore birds, no harm has been accom¬ 
plished thereby. In fact, it frequently 
occurs that gunners will permit these 
immature birds to go by unharmed be¬ 
cause of mistaken identity as a species 
on the protected list. 
This beautiful and aristocratic bird 
is a rather common migrant along our 
Atlantic coastline during both the 
spring and fall migrations, differing 
in this respect from most other species, 
which as previously stated do not take 
the same route on both migrations. 
Happily and for some unknown 
reason, the blackbreast has shown a 
slight yet noticeable increase during 
the past few seasons and is particu¬ 
larly abundant in the vicinity of Cape 
Cod. Its favorite feeding ground is in 
the neighborhood of flats and sand 
bars left bare by the tide and along 
beaches. 
The earliest arrivals reach Long 
Island several weeks later than the 
yellowlegs, arriving as a rule about the 
first or second week in August, and 
occasionally remain as late as early 
November, when they start south for 
their winter home in Peru or Brazil. 
Golden Plover: The back for the 
most part is a dull black mottled with 
white and a golden or greenish yellow. 
The under portions from the chin to 
the tail are black and turning to a 
grayish white in the fall. A white
