Text Appearing Before Image:
the western shores of Franklin Bay. The lowlands extending from the Smoking Mountains west to Liverpool Bay are a favorite resort for snow geese, black brant, golden plover and the three species of jaegers, with ptarmigan and smaller birds. While of course in many districts the aboriginal popula- tion has been much reduced, I think it is true that the people who remain do not hunt birds so much as before the days of modern weapons. The native of the present day must make long summer jour- neys to trading posts or ships, and many famous rookeries which were annually resorted to in the egg season, and other places where the people gath- ered later in the season to club or spear the flightless molting waterfowl, are nowadays sel- dom visited. The natives of the north taking them all together can hardly be held responsible for any notable diminution of bird life in the country, as they may for the mammal life. The mammals are only to a slight degree migratory, while most of the bird species are but short summer transients in the north and must run the gauntlet of countless fusillades in more southern latitudes from Sep- tember to May and in some instances through an extent of the Western Hemisphere from Canada to Patagonia.
