The Wilderness 



sing for a space amongst the tree-tops, feed for a week or so on the berries 

 and blossoms, then pass on to other feeding grounds, while others stay 

 just for an hour, glad of a safe and 

 sheltered resting-place on their 

 long, mysterious journeys to and 

 fro across the land.

So tame and friendly Blue Wrens 



Fascinating as the wilderness is by day, it is at night that one 

 feels its deepest spell. Then all the strange elusive creatures come out 

 from their hiding places, and go about their business in the tree-tops 

 or down under the thick shrubs. One needs keen hearing to know 

 the wilderness by night, for eyes alone are not much good. 



I can never make up my mind which I love most the birds that 

 live all the year round in the wilderness, and are so tame and friendly
