wild bird life The migrants had not vet come
in full force to the northern woodlands when
the president and his guest made through the
valley and up and down the cliffs of the valley
They found the kingfisher looking for clubs
or whatever the fish is that likes the Rock
creek waters, and they found the cardinals
and the Carolina chickadees, some white
threats, some slate-colored snowbirds and
few tuneful song sparrows.
Mr. Keartons first introduction to the Po-
tomac country birds gave him an appetite for
further knowledge of their personalities. A
few days after his Rock creek trip Mr.. Kear-
ton went up the Potomac valley with DR.. A. X.
Fisher and Z. W. Nelson of the biological sur
vey, and l was allowed to bear them field
company.
DR.. Fisher, of hawk and owl and much
other bird fame, came into the tramping when
the noon hour was near. Prior to that time
Mr. Nelson acted bird leader, if the bird
can take the place of the bear in the term
ordinarily used.
We had in Kearton an Englshman who
knew American birds only from the books. AL
most instantly the thought came of John Bur-
roughs tramping all southern England
trying to find nightingale, and to find him
when he was in a tunefu mood. Richard
Kearton willing to tramp all over the Co
lumbia district to see hooking bird. He
wanted also to hear him sing, but that at best
was a matter of chance, for the singing sea-
son was yet young.
The mocker, to the European, unquestion-
ably is our bestknown bird He fills in the
interest place on the other side that is filled
in on this side by the nightingale, or perhaps
equally with the nightingale, the skylark,
whose tryst is in the clouds"
We crossed Cabin John bridge the
beautiful gorge, wavy with the greening tree
of Outn NJ he IF he
valley came the song sparrow's music, almost
If not quite the purest bird music that the
American fields can call their own.
The Englishman went into a melting mood
at the song sparrow's note. He kept 1t with
him in cadence all day long. whistling 1t occa-
sionally to make sure he was retaining It, and
stopping every time that one of the birds sang
from the roadside, to listen and to make sure
that memory was holding the melody intact.

old mill with its neighborng dam and water
fall stands not far away. The place is as
beautiful to-day 1t was 40 years ago, when
John Burroughs haunted it and transmitted
its beauties to the written page. Here 1t was
that he had his inspiration for Spring Notes
at the Capital" an inspiration that dwelt in
him and showed force and effect when he
wrote of other and PARKWAY fields. Burroughs
has written of this spot, and 1t is a daring
pen which would seek the ink for further
words
The change from woodland path to paved
street is abrupt. tufted ttmouse with

rattle Of a street car. Two woodland travel
ers had reached civilization, a fact that was
still more impressed upon them when they
boarded the street car and found that it was

Richard Kearton, an English ornithologist
and photographer, although famed badly as
a result of an accident when cliff climbing, is
engaged to-day in the work of making pic
lures of birds that make their nests in places
inaccessible to any save the most daring men.
Mr. Kearton came to Washington before Presi-
dent Roosevelt went out of Office and he was
entertained at the White House and was led
through the woods, the ravines and fields
the capital city by the president of the United
States in order that he might get knowledge
OF american Dlrd I1e since MS return TO
England the English people have paid marked
attention to their fellow countryman. They
had recognized him as a scientist worthy OF
consideration prior to the time of his visit to
this country but the attention that the strenu-
Gus president Of the United States paid to the
English bird lover brought to him additional
attention and the marked consideration of
some people who had been given to ignoring
him on the ground that he was photogra-
pher rather than scientist. Mr.. Kearton is
both a photographer and a scientist and his
contribution of his knowledge of English bird
life Is of immense value to bird students.

At the end Of the Long bridge eight or ten
birds were seen feeding in a tree-top. The
foliage was not yet far enough advanced to OBJ
scure the vision. The birds were pinefinches,
akin to goldfnches. They did not know
that they had distinguished visitor from
abroad, interested not only in their plumage
in their notes, in their habit of life, but in the
humber thing Of what they were having for
breakfast.
The pinefinches held us only little while,
and on we went along the early morning road
hoping for a mocking bird. and yet more than
half content with chirping sparrows, blue.

In the thicket we did not find the mocking
bird. but we found something that in beauty
at least more than compensated for the alb.
sence of the sober-clad southern songster. A
male cardinal, fire red, crested and proud and
tuneful, was there.
We caught glimpse of the disappearing
tail feathers of bird that flashed into an
evergreen tree, heavyboughed and thick
leaved. / went over to the tree and knocked

perched on dead branch not 10 feet above
