. Supplement to the arctic zoology [microform]. Zoology; Zoologie. n- CRANE. STORK. IBIS. Inhabits during fummcr Carolina. Frequents rivers and ponds. Feeds on filh, frogs, &:c. Retires fouthat approach of winter. The Bittern o(HnJ/on's Bny does not bellow like the Englijl. To the SiHrian Cra^'il may be made thefe additions:âIt makes a noife like the Whiftling Swan. It is very fliy, and dilTicult to approach ; the moment it fees a man, be he ever fo far off, it inftantly rifes into the air, which refounds with its cries. Its great height giving it the advantage of feeing all round to a confiderable diftance ; the fportfman is therefore obliged to ufe great caution. The left ruftling of the retds fets it on its guard. He therefore approaches it under fome cover, or when the bird is bufied in taking the finall fiflies, on which it feeds. Apprehenfive as it is of men, it is fearlefs of dogs, and will attack them with great fury, which gives the mafter opportunity of making his fhot. In the breeding feafon it is quite intrepid, and will guard its young with great courage, and with its /harp bill become a very dan- gerous opponent to the pcrfon who attempts its neft. The male and icmale alternately proteft the young. Thofe of the firft year are of the color of ochre; in the fecond they become white : the fkin is as red as the bill. They are frequently reared with the young of other Cranes at foboljki, and other parts of Sibiria^ and will agree with them very well; but will grow enraged at the fight of children, and eagerly ar rack them. This fpecies poflibly extends to China, a bird, extremer like it, being frequently feen on the Chinefe paper. ^7 45'' 455' ' ^i ps The White Stork is never feen farther north in Sweden than 4^^;. Seania, The Bay Ibis has been feen of late years in the ifle of Oland. .g^^ This fpecies begins to form a fettlement there, and to return annually. âMr. Oedman, K 2 The â li. -m^ 1 -i . t'I â ' '% 1 ]M.
