MIGRATING.
The birds have commenced to migrate, and soon the feathered songsters and other birds will have left us for other climes more congenial. Last evening for about an hour the southern section of the heavens was filled with flocks of birds winging their flight in a southeastern direction. The birds flew high and rapid, and presented one continuous line threading their way southward. The time is about here for the birds to take their departure, and doubtless it will be continued from day to day till all have left us.
