8 D SUNDAY. 0C10KER 27. lata MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Small Worlds Around Us Lynn W. Witkint r KUUr jrjrJjuMjjnaifjijjHi Feathered Travelers Are Dispatched By Fall't Arrival Unnoticed, because the days are still warm and summer- like, the fall of the year comes on arace. Evidence of the change is visible everywhere if we care to notice, ine goiaen rod is in bloom. Across any vacant lot, or between bushes and buildings there appear the silken webs of the late summer spiders, shimmering in the sun. Unnoticed by most of us, the entire world . of insects has speeded up. These creatures have just about completed their life cycles; they are preparing for the season's end, which also means the end of their lives. All the creatures of the wild cither know it is time for the change, or at least instinctively react to it. Their activity has become almost frantic in the hurry to readjust themselves. Many of the shore and wading birds have migrated south. Many of them will have traveled thousands of miles, from north ern nesting grounds, to warmer southern shores. By some mys terious and little understood method of navigation these winged tourists have negotiated great distances without the aid of a compass,- or a road map. They have risked a great deal, faced tremendous hazards, fought the elements and the darkness of night; in many in stances have fought man him self, to return to the identical spot their ancestors visited last year, or a hundred years ago. First Trip Many of those birds have made the trip south for the very first time. Many were born dur ing the past summer and are making the long migration for the first time. Some of the younger ones followed their eld ers who already knew the route. Others came alone and unaided, urged on by some inherent pat tern of behavior established by their species, many thousands of generations ago.. How they know, or how they find their way over those long, unmarked, but apparently rccoRnizcd sky roads is a question the greatest scientific minds in the world cannot answer. The one thing we can be sure of is they actually do accom plish the seemingly Impossible, and arrive and depart accord' ing to some vague, and pre arranged plan. - The migrants are already on the wing, or have arrived; more will follow as the fall of the year proceeds, be cause it's fall, and somehow they know. Observant Ones Although very few mark the departure or the arrival of the feathered ones to the southern shores, those that are the least observant can also tell the time of year by looking out across a body of water, aorose - a field, or a vacant lot, at a distant hillside, or for any distance, and see the peculiar haze Ictwcen them and the horizon. It is a flimsy veil of something, thinner than smoke, more elusive than fog, that hovers in the cooling air like a shimmering mist, it is the brcalh of the drying summer. Nights will continue 16 grow cooler. 1 he daytime sun will lose much of ils.vvaj mth.. Clauds that have been so constantly present during the summer, will grow scarce. As the earth and the water cools there is less vapor to feed them; soon the clouds will die from malnutri' tion. By the roadsides,, in. edges of lakes and ponds, the cattails turn brown. Leaves withnr- and fall. The frogs that made the summer nights vibrant with their croaking slow to a stop Turtles too, seek the warmth of the bottom mud. Somewhere the sun has already crossed an in visible line, and suddenly it's i.iu. ........
