THE MAKING OF ElRIiCKAFT SAX("r('AKV 



19 



three to tive Wilson's Snipe were living in a marsh meadow one- 

 fourth of a mile away. The first impulse was to laugh at the 

 report, but as the boy's story was backed up l)y others, our 

 Avarden went to investigate. Tlie Snipe were there and a record 

 established, the secret of the open bit of marsh being the 

 exhaust-steam pipe from a nearby factory which kept open 

 ground for the Snipe through this liitter winter. 



First and last, Bii'deraft is pi-oving itself a place to answer 

 truly the questions of the bird-lover and student, (juestions 

 asked both by eye and tongue, and to help its visitors think for 

 themselves. Is not this "making good"? 



Little by little native butterflies and moths A\ill appeal- in 

 the study case and some of the vanishing wild flowers find their 

 natural habitats in the Sanctuary, so that the economic relation 

 between flowers, insects, and birds, may be made plain, but this 

 will be another storj^. Nature's plan is eternity!
