MIGRATORY BIRDS
EXPERIMENT MADE WITH -STORKS
BUCHAREST, September 30,
One -of the young storks released recently near Essen to ascertain which route they would follow when flying to their winter quarters in Africa has been found dead (near Constanza. The bird was identified as belonging to the German flock by a metal ring and other distinctive marks.
The discovery appears to .prove that the stork and companions, born and bred in ’the eastern parts of Germany, but released in Western Germany, followed a hereditary instinct by choosing the route via South-Eastern Europe, while storks born and bred in Western Germany fly to Africa via Spain.
