Suggestions 



And do not be impatient in the matter, 

 or go on your first quest in a hurry; nor 

 in an automobile — except, perhaps, as your 

 means of conveyance to the actual field 

 of exploitation. Automobiles and birds 

 are both delightful. And if you Hke both, 

 well and good. That is your matter. 

 The point is, do not try to indulge in both 

 with equal interest at the same time. 

 They will not mix. 



In a wooded country you can pass more 

 birds during an hour in an average ''ma- 

 chine^' without seeing a single one of them 

 to know it thoroughly than you could 

 find time to study in many months. 



Bird students who ^^mean business^' 

 and want to amount to something must 

 walk. 



Moreover, they must not expect to gain 

 more than just a little information each 

 trip they take. A dozen new species, 

 vividly seen and appreciated at their full 

 woodland value, will be rich reward for 

 a whole year's work; and quite enough 

 also to satisfy any ordinary observer.
