第 113 頁 - America, he entered the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated in 1912 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
第 431 頁 - The Pidgeon, of which there are millions of millions, I have seen a flight of Pidgeons in the spring, and at Michaelmas when they return back to the Southward for four or five miles, that to my thinking had neither beginning nor ending, length nor breadth, and so thick that I could see no Sun, they joyn Nest to Nest, and Tree to Tree by their Nests many miles together in A'ne-Trees. But of late they are much diminished, the English taking them with Nets.
第 437 頁 - I then thought to approach the marvellous; but really the most fervid imagination cannot conceive their numbers. Their noise in the woods was like the continued roaring of the wind, and the ground may be said to have been absolutely covered with their excrement. The young ones which we killed were nearly as large as the old ; they could fly about ten steps, and were one mass of fat; their craws were filled with acorns and the wild pea. They were still reposing on their nests, which were merely small...
第 367 頁 - No part of the plumage, skin or body of any bird protected by this section, or of any birds coming from without the state, whether belonging to the same or a different species from that native to the state of Minnesota, provided such birds belong to the same family as those protected by this chapter, shall be bought, sold or had in possession for sale.
第 440 頁 - I returned, and exchanged my rifle for a fowling-piece, and in a few hours shot two hundred and seventy-one, when I desisted. I had an opportunity this day of observing the manner in which they feed: it affords a most singular spectacle, and is also an example of the rigid discipline maintained by gregarious animals. This species of pigeon associates in prodigious flocks...
第 442 頁 - A new and very interesting spectacle now presented itself, in the incredible quantities of wild pigeons that were abroad ; flocks of them many miles long came across the country, one flight succeeding to another, obscuring the daylight, and in their swift motion creating a wind, and producing a rushing and startling sound, that cataracts of the first class might be proud of.
第 367 頁 - For the purpose of this act, plumage includes any part of the feathers, head, wings or tail of any bird, and wherever the word occurs in this act reference is had equally to plumage of birds coming from without the State as to that obtained within the State, but it shall not be construed to apply to the feathers of ostriches, domestic fowl or domestic pigeons.
第 338 頁 - McAtee (1910), as follows: In the Mississippi Delta the blue geese rest by day on mud flats bordering the Gulf. At the time of my visit (January 29 to February 4, 1910) these were entirely destitute of vegetation, a condition to which the geese had reduced them by their voracious feeding. Every summer these flats are covered by a dense growth of "cut grass...
第 440 頁 - That all may have an equal chance, the instant that anyrank becomes the last, they rise and flying over the whole flock, alight exactly ahead of the foremost. They succeed each other with so much rapidity, that there is a continued stream of them in the air ; and a side view of them exhibits the appearance of the segment of a large circle, moving through the woods. I observed that they ceased to look for food a considerable time before they become the last rank, but strictly adhere to their regulations,...
第 338 頁 - Every summer these flats are covered by a dense growth of " cut grass" (the local name for Zizaniopsis miliacea), "goose grass" (Scirpus robustu*), "oyster grass" (Spartina glabra), "Johnson grass" (Panicum repens), and cattails or "flag-grass" (Typha angustifolia) , and every fall are denuded by the Blue Geese or Brant as they are called in the delta. The birds feed principally upon the roots of these plants but the tops of all are eaten at times, if not regularly. Each goose works out a rounded...
