Birds that feet in flocks commonly retire together into roosts The reasons for roosting
communally are not always obvious, but there are some likely benefits In winter especially, it is
important for birds to keep warm at night and conserve precious food reserves One way to do
this is to find a sheltered, roost Solitary roosters shelter indense vegetation or enter a cavity
-horned larks dig holes in the ground and ptarmigan burrow into snow banks - but the effect of
sheltering is magnified by several birds huddling together in the roosts, as wrens, swifts, brown
creepers, bluebirds, and anis do Body contact reduces the surface area exposed to the cold air,
so the birds keep each other warm Two kinglets huddling together were found to reduce their heat losses by a quarter, and three together saved a third of their heat
The second possible benefit of communal roosts is that they act as "information centers” During the day, parties of birds will have spread out to feed over a very large area When they return in the evening some will have fed well, but others may have found little to eat Some investigators have observed that when the birds set out again next morning, those birds that did not feed well on the previous day appear to follow those that did The behavior of common and lesser kestrels may illustrate different feeding behaviors of similar birds with different roosting habits The common kestrel hunts vertebrate animals in a small, familiar hunting ground,
Trang 2whereas the very similar lesser kestrel feeds on insects over a large area The common kestrel roosts and hunts alone, but the lesser kestrel roosts and hunts in flocks, possibly so one bird can learn from others where to find insect swarms
Finally, there is safety in numbers at communal roosts since there will always be a few birds awake at any given moment to give the alarm But this increased protection is partially
counteracted by the fact that mass roosts attract predators and are especially vulnerable if they
are on the ground Even those in trees can be attacked by birds of prey The birds on the edge are at greatest risk since predators find it easier to catch smallbirds perching at the margins of the roost

In the American colonies there was little money England did not supply the colonies with coins and it did not allow the colonies to make their own coins, except for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins England wanted to keep money out of America as a means of controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products from other countries The result during this pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes for money The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies
