This excerpt is an example of a flashback. As readers, we know within the first sentence of the passage that its contents happened in the past. We learn this from the narrator telling us that it happened in his "early teens", implying that he is no longer in his early teens. The use of a flashback such as this briefly discontinues the plot structure, but often gives valuable information that enhances the reader's understanding of the story.
In Saturday at the Canal, the narrator creates an imagery of him and his friend by comparing them to migratory birds in order to describe their moving to San Francisco during the spring hitchhiking go the north after winter.
