The Flight of Birds

Abstract

TO La Nature for December 11, 1910, M. Lucien Fournier contributes a well illustrated article on the flight of birds. One of the pictures, showing various positions taken by the wings of gulls in flight, is here reproduced. Three other of the illustrations, namely a flight of gulls, a stork leaving its nest, and a flying vulture, are particularly good.
