THE NATIONAL BIRD REFUGES.—­Says Dr. T.S.  Palmer[M]:  “National bird reservations have been established during the last ten years by Executive order for the purpose of affording protection to important breeding colonies of water birds, or to furnish refuges for migratory species on their northern or southern flights, or during winter.  With few exceptions these reservations are either small rocky islets or tracts of marsh land of no agricultural value.”

[Footnote M:  National Reservations for the Protection of Wild Life, by T.S.  Palmer, U.S.  Dept. of Agriculture, Circular No. 87, Oct. 5, 1912.]

These reservations are of immense value to bird life, and their creation represents the highest possible wisdom in utilizing otherwise valueless portions of the national domain.  Dr. Palmer’s alphabetical list of them is as follows, numbered in the order of their creation:
