taken place in the landscape and the wildlife from 1890 to 1936. In the old 
days, the Cape was a mecca for hawk shooters in the fall; now many species 
are recovering, thanks to establishment of the Witmer Stone Wildlife 
Sanctuary by the National Audubon Society. Roger Tory Peterson, who 
visited with Stone while a student, observes in his introduction that even 
more extensive changes have now occurred; between pesticides and the 
explosion of population and industry, the fate of many species is dark. Dover 
Publications is to be congratulated for making available to all of us again 
the record of a magnificent birding area as it was before the hand of man 
had exerted too much pressure.
