When birds are flying from one land to another. following the warm weath- er, they very often cross the water or fly over the sea near the land. They see the lighthouses and when it is dark and windy they often dash them- selves against the glass of the light, thinking to find shelter there. A npew plan is being tried in some places of preparing a resting place for the birds at the lighthouses.
