The Western Evening Grosbeak 



II 



other persons, have discovered what seem to be some of the Grosbeak 

 summer homes in the Cascade and Coast Range Mountains. 



What these birds, unafraid, do in their famih'ar relations with human 

 beings is at the same time a sad revelation of our wrong attitude toward 

 bird-life in general a:id a beautiful realization, in a small way, of the 

 prophetic words of the poet Shelley, — 



" No l()ii;^fi- now the winged liahitants. 



That in tlie woods tlieir sweet lives sing awav. 

 Flee from tlie form of man; but gather round. 

 And preen their sunny feathers on the hands 

 \Vhich little cliildren stretch in friendly sport 

 I'oward these dread less partners of their pln\ . 



H:ippiiie^s 

 And science dawn, rhongh late, lUKjn the earth."
