CAN BIRDS COMMUNICATE?
The question of bird communication is again brought up by H. H. Groves, of Wisconsin, who reports an unusual incident of bird migration. A flock of geese were flying southward over Wisconsin wilds, in regular formation. Suddenly the rear guard pushed to the front, and flew a second or so beside the leader, who almost immediately turned the flock at right angles toward the west. The guard returned to his place, and the flock passed from view. There was a lake westward—straight on there was only dry land. Had the goose seen the water, and advised the captain of the flock?—( Nature Magazine.)
