   Not long ago, experiments  (74)   that birds rely on the sun to guide them  (75)   daylight, hours. But what about birds  (76)   fly by night?

Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as  (89)   ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see  (90)  , the doves circle helplessly, unable to get their bearing(方位).
