Lesson 23-2     Bird flight

Duck, and likethem the pigeons, are endowed with steel-like muscles, that are a good part ofthe weight of the bird, and these will ply the short wings with suchirresistible power that they can bore for long distances through an opposinggale before exhaustion follows. Their humbler followers, such as partridges,have a like power of strong propulsion, but soon tire. You may pick them up inutter exhaustion, if wind over the sea has driven them to a long journey. Theswallow shares the virtues of both schools in highest measure. It tires not,nor does it boast of its power; but belongs to the air, travelling it may besix thousand miles to and from its northern nesting home, feeding its flownyoung as it flies, and slipping through a medium that seems to help its passageeven when the wind is adverse .such birds do us good ,though we no longer takeomens from their flight on this side and that; and even the most superstitiousvillagers no longer take off their hats to the magpie and wish it good-morning.
