45 THE TRAVELS OF BIRDS Have you ever seen a Stormy Petrel? What is the origin of the name Petrel? Where do many of the Petrels nest that we see on the Atlantic Ocean during the summer? How does their "time-table" differ from that of a bird -which nests in North America and winters in the Tropics? THE BIRDS' TIME-TABLE WHEN we consider the great distances some birds travel and the dangers they encounter by the way, it is remarkable that they usually arrive on time. That the daily trips to and f...rom the roost should be made regularly is not surprising. The birds have only a short way to go, and they leave soon after daybreak and return just before dark. But when, year after year, the Bobolink, the Baltimore Oriole, the midget Humming-bird, many Warblers and other birds arrive from journeys thousands of miles in length on exactly or nearly the same day, we ask how they can possibly be so prompt. In order to answer this question we must know something about the birds' time-table. Anyone who has studied the birds about his home for many years can make a time-table giving the 47 THE TRAVELS OF BIRDS dates of the arrival and departure of all the migratory birds which visit him.
