HIMALAYAN HOME OF THE SATYR TRAGOPAN 



In early morning the swish of a lammergeier's wings is heard through the close-lying clouds, and 

 the croak of a Himalayan raven comes faintly. Then a Satyr Tragopan calls and the mist sweeps from 

 the valley. The snows are still hidden, but we see the slopes covered with a dense forest of rhododendrons 

 and magnolias. Through the day these birds feed among the underbrush, and if they escape the eye of 

 eagle and cat, and avoid the snares of the Nepalese shepherds, they will roost at night in some safe 

 perch, high above the dangers of the earth.
