Suggestions for Study 7 



our task would have been a little longer, but the 

 result would have been the same. 



Our suggestions are only for the first step in this 

 study; when that has once been taken, each student 

 will best beat out his own path for himself. One 

 additional caution may be given about tracing birds 

 by their song. So long as a bird continues to sing 

 he is unalarmed, and you may safely approach him. 

 The first sign of disquiet is his silence ; remain 

 motionless, and, reassured, he will presently begin 

 again, when you may creep a little nearer. A 

 devious course excites his suspicions less than 

 a direct one ; and any bit of cover, as need hardly 

 be said, is of the greatest service.
