DISTANCES OF MIGRATION VARY

Definite evidence shows that both the length and the duration of

the migratory journey vary greatly. The bobwhite and the western

quails, the cardinal (_Richmondena cardinalis_), the Carolina wren

(_Thryothorus ludovicianus_), and probably some of the titmice and

woodpeckers, which are apparently nonmigratory, may round out their

full period of existence without at any time going more than 10 miles

from the nest where they were hatched.
