Bird Gods in Ancient Europe 



enough nor toothsome enough to serve as food, 

 are slaughtered wherever and whenever they 

 venture to rest on their migrations between 

 Africa and northern Europe. The men who 

 have rooted the beautiful white egret out of 

 Florida are pursuing it into Venezuela and 

 Brazil. If some stop is not put to them, they 

 will in a few years destroy this bird from the 

 face of the earth, as they have banished it from 

 the United States.
