"Birds, the free tenants of land, air and ocean, Their forms all symmetry, their motions grace." James Montgomery
A bird's life is so frail, so threatened, that
Each is a miracle...each new hatchling an
Astonishment." Helen Thompson
"Early summer days are a jubilee time for birds
In the fields around the house, in the barn, in
The woods, in the swamp...everywhere love
And songs and nests and eggs." E.B. White
