Excerpt from Among the Water-Fowl: Observation, Adventure, Photography; A Popular Narrative Account of the Water-Fowl as Founded in the Northern and Middle States and Lower Canada, East of the Rocky Mountains IT was the beautiful bird - pictures of Audubon that fascinated me as a child and made me love the birds and begin to watch them, such as could be found in the home garden in the suburbs of Boston. By the time that I was old enough to be trusted afield, the limits of the city became too narrow, and I began to roam abroad, seeking out the haunts of the birds. In due time I had formed a considerable acquaintance with all the familiar songsters, and many others. Soon I came to feel a special interest in the shyer and more mysterious species that the average youngster knew nothing. Of. The Hawks and Owls were my especial delight, and to discover their nests no amount of effort was too great a price to pay. This enthusiasm soon took me to the sea-coast, where there were new worlds to conquer in the hordes of migratory Waders and strong-winged fowl of the deep, about which the books were all too silent. Audubon knew them best, but my other favourite writers seemed to have sadly neglected them. Samuels' Birds of New England I almost knew by heart, but many of my bird-favourites its author was evidently little acquainted with. Minot was intensely interesting, but he stopped short of the water-f owl. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
