Excerpt from In Nesting Time
The sketches of bird manners and customs in this little collection are the record of careful observation, and scrupulously true in every par ticular. The facts may not all be new to Science, but since they are genuine studies from life, and each bird whose acquaintance I make is as truly a discovery to me as if he were totally unknown to the world, I venture to hope that lovers of birds may find in these pages real live individu als in feathers, honestly brothers of ours.

Excerpt from In Nesting Time
"Ears have they, but they hear not, may be said of all the world. Tragedies and comedies go on continually before us which we neither see nor hear; cries of distress and prattle of infants, songs of love and screams of war, alike fall upon deaf ears, while we calmly discuss the last book or the news from Borriboolah-Gha, as completely oblivious as if all this stirring life did not exist.
To be sure these things take place in the "upper stories," as Thoreau says, but they are none the less audible, and one is tempted to believe that bird voices are on a scale to which the untrained ear is not attuned.
