IN BIRD LAND

BY
LEANDER S. KEYSER

Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
Loved the wood-rose, and left it on its stalk?
Ralph Waldo Emerson: Forbearance

Teach me half the gladness
That thy brain must know,
Such harmonious madness
From my lips would flow
The world should listen then, as I am listening now!
Percy B. Shelley: To a Skylark

NOTE.

The articles comprising this volume having been previously published in various periodicals of the country, I would desire to tender my grateful acknowledgments to the several publishers and editors for their uniform courtesy in permitting me to reprint the papers. My observations on birds have been made, except when otherwise indicated, in various haunts in and about Springfield, Ohio,—a region well adapted for ornithological research or pastime. L. S. K.
