A ROCKY MOUNTAIN LAKE 



YOU will find a small lake just about a mile 

 from town. Follow the road leading out this 

 way " indicating the direction " until you 

 come to a red gate. The lake 

 is private property, but 

 you can go right in, as 

 you don^t shoot. No one 

 will drive you out. I 

 think you will find it an 

 interesting place for bird 

 study." 



The foregoing is what 

 my landlord told me one 

 morning at Buena Vista. 

 Nor did I waste time in find- 

 ing the way to the lake, a 

 small sheet of water, as clear 

 as crystal, embowered in the 

 lovely park lying between tower- 

 ing, snow-clad mountains. One might 

 almost call the spot a bird's Arcadia.
