CENSUS OF NESTING BIRDS 25 



the discomforts and effort. 



I so often thought of this quotation as I looked over the 

 great panorama of hills and trees and cloud and sun, and 

 heard with a thrill of wonder the answering bird notes ringing 

 from tree to tree : 



"How rich the days, how poor are we! 



The morning breaks upon what beauteous scenes! 



What gates of pearl let in the blushing light! 



What songs of herald angels might 



We hear from every mountain top. 



If our souls but woke with the opening of our drowsy lids ! 



But we rise enwrap't with cloudy cares, 



And dawn for us, means twilight. 



Drenched with fogs that hide the stars." 



A reference to the map will indicate, roughly, the eco- 

 logical regions of wooded areas, streams and cleared ground. 

 The red lines will show the boundaries of the sections, and 

 the numbers may be of help in locating the sections as they 

 are referred to in the text. Several changes and developments 

 in the Park have been made since the time the census was 

 taken. A few of the driveways indicated on the map are not 

 yet built, but merely proposed.
