garden shrubbery, but it is more exciting, to say the least, and it is 
well worth while to aspire to be an all-round ornithologist, as one 
cannot be who knows only the small land birds. The harder the 
quest, the keener the joy of attainment. With all my heart do I 
wish success in this delightful and sometimes strenuous pursuit to 
every bird-lover who reads these words.
