"There is a fascination about the study of birds quite overpowering. 
It fits so well with other things — with fishing, hunting, farming, walking, 
camping out — with all that takes one to the fields and woods. One may 
go blackberrying and make some rare discovery; or while driving his 
cow to pasture, hear some new song or make a new observation. Secrets 
lurk on all sides. There is news in every bush. What no man ever 
saw before may the next moment be revealed to you. What a new in- 
terest the woods have! How you long to explore every nook and corner 
of them !" — John Burroughs.
