[[marginalia]] flight [[/marginalia]] The flew like Pigeons and went very fast. They were probably making for the Wisconsin River. The Bluejays were much excited. [[marginalia]] marks [[/marginalia]] At first I thought they were Pigeons Hawks but had noticed the bars on the breast instead of stripes. They were the first I had seen this year. The flight was direct. [[marginalia]] shape [[/marginalia]] They were long slender trim built birds evidently made for speed and had long tails which were kept closed.
