Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club, 1877, Vol. 2: A Quarterly Journal of Ornithology
You will rarely find the interior of a forest so well peopled as the edges and little openings, and the birds are not singular in this respect. Men always choose the shores of rivers, ponds, or the sea, for their first settlements in a new country, and I fancy it is not entirely from considerations of utility, but partly because they crave an adjacent breathing-space. Where the sun and wind may have fair sweep. There are some exceptions to the rule among the birds, of course, there being some morbidly disposed individuals that can find no place too dark or too secluded.
